Pelican Lake, 15th, 1032. lOdltor, Daily News, Rhineluhdcr, Wis. Dear Sir: In charge of the information booth the new work, on Highway at Pelican take vigorous exceptions to your article in the News of June 13th, from the heading "Diversion of Auto Traffic" thrpug'h to tho end of tho article It is simply a lot of misinformation, the only truth to the whole item Is that there is an information booth on No.

26. This booth with the man in charge was in different towns and revsort men-from Pelican to Land o'Lakes after so many protests were received from tourists that wished to up. No. 26 that they were be- 'injv detoured all over the country. My instructions have been and still is that I am not to try and divert any cars and I have not done so, when a car stops and askg for Information, and wish to go to Minocqua they are directed without any argument or any attempt to Influence them In changing their route, if-they, wish to go to Three Lakes, Eagle River, Land o'Lakes ft' any, point PIT, No.

26 they are directed around the new and save miles of detour. Last year duo to thejwork on the new highway between Three Lakes and Eagle River all towns and resorts between Monico and Land suffered, they hardly another bad year, this Information booth is being maintained in all- fairness to Rhinelander and I challenge anyone to bring a single cage in-which I have in any manner trfed; divert, Rhinelander traffic, I jun to. give honest authentic information and that is what I am doing. It seems to me the Rhinelander News- would be the last one that would try and stir up feeling among the small towns, these resort towns pour thousands of dollars into Rhlneiander each year, the impres- seems to be getting pretty well founded that Rhinelander is for Rhinelander alone and does not care to have anything to do with Minocqua, Woodruff, Three Lakes, Eagle River, Monico, Pelican Lake, that everything should go to Rhinelander, if any of these small towns make any move to protect themselves they are immediately put on the pan in your paper. Jf this is the real attitude of the News and the Rhinelander merchants' that advertise with' you we might as wolf find out the truth at once and do our shopping in some town that will not only appreciate bur money but will uphold us in a fair and square deal such'as this Information Booth is.

I am hoping you will have tho courtesy to givelthls article the same publicity and space you did the mis- Information.

This ia intended as a convenience to taxpayers who would prefer that method rather than raising the entire sum at one time. These installments would apply on the tagej normally collected in January and February, 1933.

Unless another extension of taxes to June 1 is permitted next year by the legislature the last time fpr paying taxes will probably come about February 23. On this basis if installments are started this month it will be possible to pay nine monthly payments. Nothing in this resolution will prevent payments at irregular intervals or in varying amounts. This method is offered purely as a ponvenence to taxpayers and is voluntary on their part. Further details may be obtained from the city treasurer.
