Snowbound farmers aided as roads open in thaw
Snow removal crews faced mud and soft roadbeds as they worked to free farmers isolated by a five day storm. Over half the township highways opened and most farmers should reach major roads before night. Temperatures near 50 brought early spring mood though flood fears rise for rivers and drains in Monroe. Cloudy skies and possible showers or flurries expected tomorrow.

Nelson Plan On Withholding Faces Assembly Debate
Gov Gaylord Nelson pushes a state withholding tax plan introduced by the Joint Finance Committee in the Democratic controlled Assembly. It mirrors federal tax collection, covers individuals and corporations, could start Sept 1, and aims to raise about 2.8 million dollars yearly, with 650 thousand for admin costs. The measure would yield a 7.8 million windfall first year, 4.5 million to counties and towns, while immediate withholding overlaps delayed payments. The 8-5 party-line vote sent the bill to the full body as Wisconsin seeks new revenue to address deficits. Taxpayers would file 1958 earnings by April 15 and begin withholding on current earnings after Sept 1.
