Beautify Losey Boulevard plan gains backing in La Crosse
Attorney W F Wolfe urged the La Crosse board of trade to beautify Losey Boulevard. Plans show a $25,000 project with two 18 to 20 foot drives, boulevards and walks linked to the city water system, plus the Oak Grove Park lake and Eastern causeway proposals. The Tribune supports the drive as a civic necessity and compares spending to Madison’s annual beautification budget.
