Who Will Pay to Heat Old Central High School
The Common Council Finance Committee discussed funding for heating the abandoned Central High School. The city says ownership lies with the school board, while the district claims the city owns it. About 5,000 remains to heat the building, with 2,000 already spent this winter. If no extra money is found, heating may stop, risking interior damage. A proposal would move recreation activities to the Central annex, allowing a 10,000 recreation budget to cover heat. The issue returns next month.

Restoring Funds For School Buses To Be Considered
La Crosse City Council committee will consider restoring 37500 in school bus transport funds for 1968 after a legal review. The matter stems from a December cut affecting about 700 students within city limits, with parish and public school riders beyond the two mile zone also served.
