La Crosse, Wisconsin, Committee on Public Baths, Resolutions and Reports Relating to Public Baths

Scope and Contents

Common Council resolutions and reports began to be organized by a numbering system in Dec. 1932. Before that time the resolutions were kept folded up in chronological order, roughly by subject or Council committee (such as Parks, Judiciary, Fire, Police, etc.).

This set of pre-1932 resolutions represents those labeled as Public Baths, and date from 1903-1932. The original order of these reports was maintained.

The resolutions deal with Public Baths or beaches on both the North and South sides of La Crosse. Highlights include are construction estimates and architectural invoices for the Pettibone Bath House, and petitions for a North Side beach from citizen groups.
