Larger Capacity For New School Proposed
Oshkosh Common Council discussed the 1968 school bond issue saying 1 500 pupil capacity high schools may be too small. Dr Eugene Sonn leitner proposed 2 000 or 2 500 capacity with a plan to keep planning costs within the bond. Superintendent Harold Steward noted 1 500 could be conservative and that 2 000 capacity could be funded by a $ 100 000 donor grant for a swimming pool.

Urges Changes In State Tax System
President William Manske urged broad reforms to Wisconsin tax sharing and road aid at a Tarr Committee hearing in Appleton. He argued towns should bear more county policing costs, road maintenance should be more fairly funded, and tax revenue from professional services should go to the municipality where the professional operates. He also called for traffic density consideration in road aid and for a larger share of utility taxes to follow the location of customers. The 10 percent property tax relief formula should be restored, and the state’s tax relief fund is effectively frozen at 53 million.

A one hour parking zone on Court Street was laid over, and resolutions commending departing city officials were approved.
