Second City Industrial Bonds Set The City of Fergus Falls has received approval of the Staid Department of Economic Development for the issue of industrial revenue bonds, Walt "Wenino, mayor, reported to the council at their regular meeting last night.

This industrial bond issue, 'he second issue by the city, is for the construction of a factory facility to be leased to Medallion Kitchens, Inc. Medallion Kitchens, formerly Central States Industries, is engaged in the manufacture of kitchen cabinets and employs approximately 190 persons in Fergus Falls. When the expansion program is completed, it is expected that an additional 50 persons will be employed. The industrial bond issue will be in the neighborhood of $653,000 and will be used for the addition of 60-80 thousand squaro feet of space to the existing facility. The first industrial bond issue was used by the City when Metro-Meat Packing acquir'-d National Tea Packing Plant at Fergus Falls.

Fergus Falls was one of the first cities in the state to make use of the newly- approved industrial revenue bonds in this business transaction. The council approved the vacation of Whit ford Street between Washington and Junius plus a portion of the alley to allow Medallion Kitchens room for the proposed expansion. I all conditions are met, the vaca tion will become effective May 1.

Under terms of (AP) A major oil spill fouled the beaches of the southern tip of Africa today as salvage workers struggled to free the gound- ed tanker Wafra. In response to a request from the Fergus Falls Education Association, the school board at a special meeting yesterday adopted a resolution agreeing to an adjustment panel for teacher salary negotiations. The representative for the school board will be named at the next school board meeting to be held on March 9. The request from the teachers' organization came after three meetings between negotiating teams had been held. By state law, either side has the right to ask for an adjustment panel but must do so before March 1.

In a statement read to the board, Loren Woolson, president of the teachers' association, said "The present "Meet and Confer" law requires that if an adjustment panel is to be called, such intentions must be made (known) to the board by March 1. "Since little real negotiations lave taken place to date, and in the event of an impasse, to fulfill our responsibility to the FFEA, we find it necessary to set in motion the procedure lor the adjustment panel." Included with the statement was a waiver which would make it possible to delay the adjustment panel. This would allow negotiations to continue until an impasse was reached. Then either side would be able to activate the panel. Robert Dieseth, chairman of the negotiating committee for the board, said that he would not recommend the signing of waiver.

Diesel said, however, that he thought negotiations should continue up until the time of the adjustment panel. "I think we should hear all of the teachers' proposals including extra curricular," said Dieseth," and then make our proposal and then go to adjustment. I feel we have this obligation." Africa shore.
