Boilers and street plans draw Winona visit to La Crosse
Jon C Burns Fruit House notes boilers at La Crosse cost about two thousand dollars more than standard boilers yet officials praise the investment. Winona visitors compare coal use with Scotch Marine boilers cutting from twenty thousand to thirteen thousand tons annually. La Crosse plans macadamizing streets using a new grinding and mixing machine to combine cement with crushed stone, producing a harder surface. Winona officials may return to inspect when it operates.
