Wardens press for separate division in Wisconsin game service
Angry wardens urged a separate division within the Wisconsin Natural Resources Department at an Assembly hearing in Madison. They said the reorganized unit would bypass overbearing supervisors and speed enforcement of game codes, noting 88 wardens vs 125 from 15 years ago and added supervisors. They cited priorities like patrolling hunting woods and patrolling state park lots amid funding and personnel shortages.

State May Absorb Welfare Costs In Wisconsin Plan
Wisconsin lawmakers weigh using extra tax revenue to cover county welfare administration and soften Gov. Lacey’s school subsidy proposal.

Milwaukee County could gain about $38.8 million in 1974 under the plan.
