No Party Tickets Adopted for City Elections in Wisconsin
Madison May 3 Assembly approved a statewide non partisan municipal election bill by 71 to 14.

Black River Falls appropriation remains in conference with a $136.40 relief figure debated against possible $100,000 via state drainage and health funds. Water power control questions loom with debate on a Husting bill and possible postponement to the regular session. Mileage for members was approved.
