Abstract:

Papers of Patrick Zielke, Council member from 1964-1974 and Mayor of the City of La Crosse from 1975 to 1997. Zielke held the mayoral position for 22 years, the longest of anyone in La Crosse history. About half of the papers are carbon copies of outgoing correspondence from the mayor’s office regarding board and committee appointments, and some correspondence about city topics. Many of the letters are routine in nature. The other half of the collection are newspaper clippings from the La Crosse (Wis.) Tribune on various topics and issues, such as river boat gambling, hotels, taxes, etc., dating from 1976; 1988-1989; 1992. There is no personal or biographical information on Zielke, other than a few editorials he wrote, 1984-1991.
