Irrevocable 1907 Library Appropriation Opinion
Dr. Anderson asserts that the 1919 16 appropriation for the La Crosse public library is irrevocably in force. He cites Colonel Woodward’s 1907 ruling that general fund limits allow 2000 for library support and that a special library tax may be raised to fund the library. The opinion discusses ordinances, budget timing, and potential funding paths.
