To further add a cosmopolitan touch, a proposal will be submitted later to let restaurants set up sidewalk cafes. The vendor ordinance, to be intro duced at the council's June 8 meeting, would permit sidewalk sales in an area bounded roughly by 16th, East, South and West streets.

And vendors would not be allowed to come to the curb to sell to persons in cars. THE CONTROLLER would have authority to have any cart moved if pedestrian traffic became snarled.

The proposal would prohibit any vendor from holding interests in more than 30 percent of the 25 cart licenses available. And no cart could be be closer than 50 feet to the entrance to a restaurant without the written permission of the restaurant's owner. Carts also would have to be stationed at least 20 feet from a bus stop, taxi stand, crosswalk, driveway, alley or street corner and six feet from a building entrance, display window or walk-up window.

Hoosiers to meet with Reagan Marion County Democratic Knute F. Dobkins continued his assault Friday on the convention center stadium. Dobkins criticized the Hudnut administration fo for hiring the law of Ice Miller Donadio and Ryan to defend the city against Dobkins' suit, which seeks to halt the expansion project. Deputy Mayor David R. Frick said the city hired the firm because it is slated to process the revenue bonds which will pay for the construction.

The firm will "have the incentive," Frick remarked, to defend the state law and City-County Counof cil resolution which authorized the bonds and the 1 percent restaurant tax to raise money for bond redemption. Dobkins reported that he has sought a change of venue from Superior Court Judge Michael T. Dugan, and said he has offered in vain to drop the suit under certain conditions. The conditions for dropping the suit, Dobkins said, were that Mayor William H.

"It was the only negotiation that I have been involved in that egos never got in the way of achieving the goal and that's because of Warren After addressing 203 former law students who were admitted to the state bar, Haynes returned to Columbus, where he is a vice- president of Cummins Engine Mayor William H. Hudnut, mayoral executive assistant Thomas J. Henry, Gov.

Robert D. Orr and several other mayors and governors will meet with President Reagan Monday in the White House to discuss block grant allocations.

State government administrative costs City car pool plan wins approval A City-County Council committee Friday gave the green light to a city car pool plan in which the city leases a car to city employees who ride together.
