The resolutions (1919-1932) deal exclusively with Salzer Field, the first publicly operated airplane landing strip in La Crosse. The 80-acre site was leased from the Salzer family and the Salzer Seed Co. until 1928 when the City purchased the now 115-acre site in 1928 for $30,000 on a land contract.
Arranged in chronological order, some of the documents are letters to the Common Council from the Chamber of Commerce and other citizen groups urging improvements to the airfield so that air mail service could be authorized by the U.S. Postmaster and other aeronautic events could be held in La Crosse. This airfield was abandoned by the City in 1933.
