PAGE 2 THE RHINELANDER (WIS.) DAILY NEWS DECEMBER 14, 1937 SEWAGE PLANT SITE IS WORTH SLOOOTO CITV Council Votes to Offer That Price to Refrigerator Company for Land An offer of Sl.OOO to the Rhinelander Refrigerator company for the site of the old broom handle works, which is considered 1hc best i location for the city's proposed sewage disposal plant, was voted by the city council at last night's regular meeting in the city The site. cOiftprising about one and one-half acres of ground, is located on the north bank the Pelican i river and is adjacehV'to the refrig-1 erator grounds. In making the $1,000 offer the council practically rejected an offer by the company to sell the site for taxes, interest and total of $2.097.12. The company's offer, presented in a communication from Dexter Brown at the last meeting, was termed "too high" by councilmen. Councilmen expressed the opinion that the land could be obtained for leos than Sl.OOO though condemnation proceedings, but they added that the city's offer of that price "only lair in view of the use to which the land will be placed." It was pointed out that the company paid $2,500 fqr the site in 1924, and that at Cite' time it was assessed at For years, although little use was made of the land by the refrigerator company, ihe firm kept the taxes paid up.

Grant Pool Hall License. After some discussion of the ad-1 visability of granting more Class "B'' tavern licenses (for sale of beer only), the council approved the application of Mark Tuchalski for a pool hall license and a beer license at 238 Thayer street. In both cases the vote 1 was unanimous. Councilman Fred Anderle, who explained that he was not questioning the character or intent of Tuchalski, declared he was "very much against" the council granting beer licenses because "those places usually try to get by with the sale of liquor as well, without the proper license." The application of the Abner Dahlberg post, American Legion, for Class beer license for the clubrooms in the Memorial building, also was granted by the council. Approve Resolutions.

Two resolutions of a minor nature were given unanimous approval by the council. One resolution authorized the issuance af a quit-claim deed on certain property acquired by the city at a tax sale in 1932 to H. L. "Bert" Kaliher. The land, once owned by P.

H. Main but since sold to Kaliher and a group of Rhinelander busi ness men, is located east of the high school and court house near the city limits. The other resolution authorized the city manager and city clerk to sign a right-of-way agreement with the North Western railway for installation of an intercepting Fewer line under industrial tracks owned by the railway on the South side. Councilmans Alfred Taylor was absent from last night's meeting, breaking an extended "perfect attendance" record for the present council. He was out of the city on business.

CHICAGO MARS CAR HITS POLE; FINE Ed Cunnea, Arrested This Morning, Pleads Guilty to Drunk Driving. Pleading guilty to a charge of driving while drunk, Ed Cunnea, formerly of Three Lakes but now i a Chicago resident, was fined $50 and costs by Judge H. F. Steelej in county court this morning. Cunnea was arrested by County Traffic Officer Clifford Guilday about 3 o'clock this morning at a roadhouse just north of Rhinelander on Highway 17, after city police had traced his car to the roadhouse which is outside the city limits.

City officers called the county officer to make the arrest because the motorist got "over the line" before they could apprehend him. The city police were called to the north end of Eagle street after Cunnea's car struck a telephone pole near the Thunder Lake Lumber company office. They were given the license number of the car involved in the mishap and traced the vehicle to the roadhouse. In court today Cunnea told Judge Steele he thought the telephone pole was a tree and therefore had not reported the accident. His car.

a new model, was not badly damaged. Cunnea said ice on the street caused his car to skid at the corner near the Thunder Lake plant. Judge Steele asked Officer 'Guilday to investigate the possibility of moving the telephone pole, which has frequently been struck by cars which failed to make the turn at the north end of Eagle street.
