Wisconsin Vet Bonus Bill Killed In Senate Vote
Wisconsin’s World War II veterans lost a cash bonus plan as the senate rejected the adjusted compensation measure 16 to 13 and declined to reconsider 17 to 12. The plan would have paid up to 500 dollars per veteran, funded by liquor tax revenues and housing fund surplus, with about 350 471 veterans eligible and 117 to 125 million dollars involved. Key supporters included Trinke and Olson, while Laird and Draheim led the opposition, calling it bad legislation and a hoax while arguing for public interest.

Council To Vote On Three Issues Tonight
City council will consider three major items at tonight's session including liquor licenses for the next license year starting July 1, street department wages, and the heating and ventilating contract for the new city garage. The Board of Public Works recommends a flat ten dollar per month cost of living bonus for all street employes after a survey by Zenno A Gorder. Mayor Frank A Buehler had directed the study following a department employees appeal for higher wages or bonuses. The board also endorses awarding the heating and ventilating contract to Charles J Niles Plumbing and Heating Co for a lump sum bid of six thousand eight hundred seventy four dollars and thirty two cents.

Wisconsin Senate Rejects Income Surtax Vote Deadlocks on Bill
The Wisconsin senate halted a 10 percent income surtax proposal sought by Gov. Kohler by a 15 to 13 vote to postpone indefinitely. The measure would have raised about 9.52 million over two years. a 25 percent surtax would have generated 23.8 million. The senate blocked reconsideration 15 to 14, though the assembly has an identical bill. The state faces a large revenue surplus and looming cuts to stay within income. A separate pension bill for retired teachers passed 90 to 0. The assembly tabled a two percent sales tax plan aimed at education costs, while other measures include a tax return enforcement bill and a civil defense appropriation debate.
