The La Crosse County Board sold three residential lots on Leonard Street in West Salem for 4 701 78 and delayed the sale of a 42 1 acre parcel north of the Black River in Farmington for 155 20. The county seized the property for delinquent taxes after the previous owner failed to pay. The high bid was noted but access issues and low value prompted delaying the sale to the June meeting. The board also authorized plat planning for Hamlin Street and vacated a Shelby street dead end on 26th Street south of Leonard Street.
