City Council to Decide on Public Works Board Abolition
Tomorrow evening the La Crisse city council will vote on abolishing the board of public works and establishing salaries for mayor and aldermen. A commission would hire staff like the fire and police boards, removing politics from hiring. Salaries tentatively range from 1000 to 1500 for mayor and 140 to 250 for alderman. The council may also approve a bridge-ticket rebate plan to boost ice and farming transport, and purchase a cheaper crane valve for 61.20 versus 387.90. Sewer work aims to connect Second and Cass streets to the new trunk sewer, ending three outlets into the Mississippi.
