La Crosse Tribune Birthday Edition Praises City Progress
The Tribune marks its first anniversary with a modest special edition praising local advances led by readers and stockholders, citing the hotel Stoddard and new courthouse completion, the lighting company reform, the Bijou theatre and a future modern venue. It credits public spirited citizens and the paper’s role as a reform voice against high finance, while praising loyal support and promising a greater anniversary next year. The column also critiques City Attorney Mahoney over a printing deal, urging council independence and suggesting more rigorous scrutiny of bids and possible legal missteps by officials.

Question for City Attorney on City Printing Law
A local letter questions whether the May contract lettings are mandatory and asks the city attorney to clarify which paper becomes official if bids are not required or if none bid. The writer argues the law should encourage competition and that enforcing a single paper undermines reasonableness.
