Businessmen and history buffs spent millions of dollars to restore several blocks of rundown South Side waterfront buildings to 19th century conditions.

MOST OF the winos and derelicts were poked along by policemen's night sticks and elegant, expensive shops opened in the area called Pioneer Square. Reposing among restaurants serving filet bearnaise and escargots bourguignon, Yousoofian's Chunky's Restaurant proudly advertises 50-cent hamburgers and 45-cent hot dogs. Many merchants and preservationists say they don't mind the cheap food as much as the hamburger drive-in atmosphere. LARGE CARDBOARD replicas of hot dogs, pretzels and pizza adorn Chuky's showcase window. The interior decorating includes yellow and green walls, decorated by wooden, 5-foot-high turkeys, plates of spaghetti and shishkebobs.

The tables are bright orange. "If this were the Northgate shopping center, nobody would give him a second glance," one merchant said from inside her elegant shop. AP WPrephoio Whatl No Caviar? SEATTLE Some of the elegant Pioneer Square shop owners think Michan P. Yousoofian's Chuky's 7ings To Change The arrows in this drawing released by the State Department of tion show how northbound traffic approaching the Silliman Evans Bridge will be rerouted through the inner loop while reconstruction work is being done on the bridge. Northbound Evans Bridge i To Close for Year Sunday Last month the merchants, preservationists and city took Yousoofian to court.

They alleged he violated a 1970 ordinance requiring approval of the Pioneer Square Historic Board before signs altering the appearance of any business is posted. THE JURY ruled in favor of Yousoofian. That decision left some merchants even more angry. "1 think they should paint the whole front of his building over and forget it," said Mark Stein, owner of Glasswater Leathers. BUT NOT all merchants oppose Yousoofian.

"It's fine with me. A man's gotta make a buck. He's not here for his health," said Carl Smith, owner of Antique Liquidators. Yousoofian only scoffs at charges his restaurant is an eyesore in the historical area. rilHIQJ FOOTWUI.

Smith added that once the reconstruction is completed on both the northbound and southbound lanes, "we do not anticipate any additional problems with the bridge." 4 Tullahoma Officials Air Resignation TULLAHOMA Four top city officials here have submitted resignations, effective in February, in what appears to be an administrative power play centering around Program Coordinator Joe Pennington. Pennington could not be reached for comment last night. OSTENSIBLY the resignations were triggered By DWIGHT LEWIS Both northbound lanes of the Silliman Evans Bridge will be closed for about a year, beginning Sunday, for major reconstruction work, the State Department of Transportation (DOT) said yesterday. DOT Commissioner Robert F.

Smith said northbound traffic on 1-65 and 1-24 which had crossed the Cumberland River on the bridge will be rerouted along the inner loop of 1-40, to 1-265 and the Lyle Fulton Bridge. FOLLOWING completion of the work on the northbound lanes, Smith said, the bridge's southbound lanes will be closed for reconstruction. Closing of the bridge, which has been plagued both by severe potholes on the surface and a number of fatal acci-' dents in which vehicles have plunged over the railing, has been expected for several months. Smith said completion of the entire project is scheduled for Jan. 1, 1976.

He said that the contract for $10,576,899 has been awarded to Michael Construction Co. of Chattanooga. SMITH SAID officials do not expect the Chattanooga firm to take longer than next Jan. 16 to complete the first phase of the reconstruction work. "For every day after Jan.

16 that the firm has to work on the northbound lanes, it will be charged $1,500 per day" in penaltes, Smith said. During a news conference in his office, Smith said work on the bridge, which was completed in 1963, will begin Monday morning and when work is completed, the width of the lanes will have been increased by 24 feet. "The cost to reconstruct the bridge is twice as much as it was to construct the bridge in the beginning," the commissioner said. SMITH SAID a reinforced concrete guardrail will be installed similar to those now in use on the inner loop. "Each bridge will be repaved and coated with a water-proofing substance to prevent any water from Restaurant doesn't fit in Seattle.

The Armenian restaurant says history is in the eyes of the beholder. "What are they talking about history. To be truthful, history is what anybody decides to write." For Yousoofian only one thing counts and that's to feed his customers anything they want. "I want people to come in," he said.

EQUAL VALUE FOR ONLY PRICE after Mrs. Claudette Wilson, city judge and recorder, reportedly gave six half-pints of confiscated whisky at Christmas to city officials, including Pennington. He allegedly turned over' two half-pints of whisky and information to city officials, who criticized Mrs. Wilson. Mrs.

Wilson resigned Monday after the reported criticism and her resignation was followed jjbsterday by those of Police Chief Paul Stockton, Fire Chief Clayton Farrar and Public Works Supt. Auburn M. Painter. While the resignations of the three officials yesterday were identical and nonspecific, reports were that they quit in sympathy with Mrs. Wilson.

FARRAR. REACHED at his home last night, declined to confirm or deny the resignation reports, stating only that "There won't be anything said until about 10 a.m. (today) as to the reason as to what brought it all about." One source complained last night that "Things have been going along fine for years. All of a sudden it seems that city officials don't know their way to work." Mrs. Wilson, while declining to comment on her reason for resigning, said of the reports of the gifts of confiscated whisky to city officials "It occurred.

He took what I gave him." THE PRACTICE of Christmas gifts of confiscated whisky to city officials "has been going on for years," Mrs. Wilson said. Mayor George S. Vibbert, who was reported ill at his home, was quoted as saying he interpreted the resignations by the city officials as pressure being put on the board of mayor and aldermen. He added that under those circumstances he would recommend that the resignations be accepted.

Penninuton was hired in June 1973 to handle matters of personnel, purchasing and federal grants. STOCKTON HAS been with the city police department since February 1949, starting as a patrolman. He became assstant chief 14 years later and was named chief in 1964. EXAMPLES: Many other prices Not Shown: Reg. $28.99 Shoes-NOW 2 Pair for $29.99 SAVES YOU $27.99 Reg.
