Bonding Action Is Initiated By La Crosse Council
The La Crosse Common Council moved to secure bond funds early for 1967 capital improvements. A new $2.8 million issue was proposed, bringing the total bonds for the year to about $5.58 million after prior voter approvals for a city hall and auditorium upgrades.
