Stellpflug Seeks La Crosse City Finance Post
Sherman Stellpflug, deputy finance officer since 1953, filed by the 5 p.m. Monday deadline for city finance officer candidates. A late application arrived Tuesday from Warren P. Burke, according to City Clerk Alice Dickson. Burke ran for 19th Ward supervisor in March. Stellpflug’s file goes to aldermen for caucus July 2 to nominate a candidate for M. R. Birnbaum’s successor. The July 9 council election will decide the post. Stellpflug is 44, married to Veronica Miehl, with two children. Rumors exist of consolidating city finance functions under one head, a proposal auditors Alexander Grant and Co. urged, but it has not progressed.
