Reports compiled by the American Legion La Crosse (Wisconsin) Post about the La Crosse community to compete for the Pendill Trophy of 1930. La Crosse took second place overall in the state competition behind Kenosha. Areas that were examined included: historical background, city planning, municipal government, industrial conditions, health, education, library, social work, recreation, town and country relations, and religion. La Crosse scored first in historical background and library, and second in city planning and social work.
These reports basically follow a questionnaire format and are similar to the 1927 Better Cities Survey. The director of the project was Aubrey W. Williams of the Wisconsin Conference on Social Work.
