Jan." 20, 1971 RACINE JOURNAL- -TIMES 5A- Council Quits Filling in Lakeshore, May Remove 80-foot Section By ROBERT J. HERMAN Journal -Times Staff Present plans to fill in another 98 acres of Lake Michigan for a south lakeshore park were abandoned by aldermen Tuesday without discussion. They also said they'll start about May 1 to take out an 80- foot section of breakwater put in last year before federal approval was received. Aldermen, however, also authorized the city to seek federal permission to keep the 80- foot section. Only Ald.

Eugene Weins, i in whose ward the new park would be located, opposed keeping the feet. City officials, din earlier meetings, have cited increasing costs and the unlikelihood of getting federal lakefill proval as reasons for giving up the project for the foreseeable future.

Pentecost Lutheran was one of the charter members of the Evangelical Synod.

The council has turned down several requests recently from women for licenses to tend bar. Present ordinances allow only the wives or widows of tavern operators to tend bar. The city's position is being challenged in a complaint filed with the State. Department of Industry, Labor and Human Relations. It contends the present ban discriminates illegally on the basis of sex.

The council, in another action, referred to the City Plan Commission a request from Felix G. Rosa, director of the Puerto Rican Society of Racine, to rename Porto Rico Avenue. He said the half-block street, running south of 9th Street along the Milwaukee Road tracks, has five condemned houses now and "it is degrading to our island name and to the Puerto Rican community of Racine. Since no people live on the street, he said, it could be unnamed as an alley or "changed to Street or Avenue." He suggested naming a new avenue or street after Puerto Rico. A proposal to take $37,200 from the contingent fund to put up an eight-foot fence around Mound Cemetery was referred to the License and Welfare Committee.

Ald. David Retzinger said he introduced the proposal because of vandalism at the cemetery. Aldermen said vandalism has continued for years, that similar work would be required for other cemeteries and that the expenditure should be planned in the regular budget. The Southside Revitalization Corp. was given permission to put blanks with its emblem on top of street signs in the 104- block area and to put up a circular decal on aluminum light poles.

The corporation will pay costs. The council continued for six months a contract to operate four air sampling machines for the county for $1,750. It is expected that, as the county's new air pollution enforcement agency gets underway, it will assume operation of the sampling machines. Aldermen authorized creation of the position of lieutenant in the Police Department's intelligence division. The division, which works in drug abuse, subversive activities and in other areas, presently has no rank.

Approved were low bids of $286,901 from Madsen Contractors Racine, for sewer work in the Georgetown area, and of $62,300 from MAC Construction: Co. Kenosha, for sewer work at West Blvd. A $53,889 bid from Madsen for work in Greencrest Manor Addition No. I was referred back to the Public Works Committee and the council approved rejecting all bids and preparing new plans to revise the lift station at 13th Street and Lockwood Avenue. Approved were conditional permits to operate a service station at the northeast corner of Taylor Avenue and Meachem Street, and to remodel a service station at 16th Street and Taylor Avenue for a Dairy Queen.

Proposed zoning changes and an annexation were referred to Committee of the Whole for discussion. REV. SATRE Sermon on Camp The director of an American Lutheran Church camping ministry in South Dakota will be the guest preacher Sunday at Our Saviors Lutheran Church, 2219 Washington Ave. The Rev.

service and at a family get-together at 6:30 Sunday evening in the church's Fellowship Hall. Visiting Racine to present a preview of the summer 1971 camping program at Outlaw Ranch in the Black Hills near Custer, S.D., Rev. Satre will present a color film and tapes of a week's camping events at Outlaw Ranch Sunday evening. American Lutheran churches in the Racine-Kenosha Conference have been invited to attend the Sunday evening session. Dress is informal, church spokesmen said, with participants encouraged to wear their "grubbies" camp clothes.

Other Racine families interested in a Christian camping experience also have been invited. Elmwood Asks for Sewer Service Elmwood Park has renewed a request for sanitary sewer service from the City of Racine. A letter from the village was referred by the City Council without discussion Tuesday to the council's Public Works Committee. Mrs. Beryl Streiff, village president, asked in the letter that the appropriate committee take up "a fair contract covering sanitary sewage treatment and disposal." The village, with a current population of.

456, was incorporated 10 years ago on the city's southwest boundary. The city had opposed incorporation and, after the village was formed, declared it would not extend service to the area unless it came into the city.

Newswriting Contest Scheduled MILWAUKEE (AP) The annual newspaper writing contest for Wisconsin high students will be held this year for the sixth time by Associated Press member newspapers. In conjunction with it, the press photo competitionn sponsored jointly by members and the Wisconsin Press Photographers Association will be held for the fifth year.

Co-sponsor of both events is the Wisconsin Journalism Teacher-Adviser Council. Contest announcements and rules have been mailed to more than 500 public and high schools tin the state. The deadprivate line for both contests is April 1. Last year's writing competition drew 379 entries from 62 high schools. As in past years, there will be four categories of competition- for the best news story, feature story, sports story and editorial.

Any student enrolled in a public, parochial or private high school is eligible. Each high school, however, must screen its own work so that it submits no more than three entries in each of the four classes. Schools may send their newswriting entries Spring Meadows Development Approval Voted by Aldermen The City Council Tuesday voted to get the ball rolling on possible development of the 36- acre Spring Meadows site by a Chicago firm. The firm, Fogelson Development is proposing to put up over three or four years some 350 or more rental supplement housing units on the land at Spring Street and Osborne Blvd. A $324,000 purchase contract was authorized Tuesday by the council.

However, the developer can pull out if he fails to get needed FHA financing or if other unsuitable conditions develop. And the city can still kill the deal by refusing. to grant, after public hearings and other meetings, the required apartment zoning. If the project isn't underway in two years, either party has the option of terminating the agreement. The city bought the land earlier for cemetery purposes but some years ago it was declared surplus to needs.

Sale was authorized and initial plans were for a city-developed subdivision of single family homes. Since then, plans to dispose of the property have included a proposed sale of acres to the Unified School District for a combined junior high and elementary school site. Harry Flynn, the city's secretary of economic development, said that some 25 contacts with Racine and Milwaukee area developers produced only one purchase offer and that limited to the frontage on Spring and Osborne. He said the Chicago developer later approached the city, but said detailed plans subject to. final city zoning approval would await assurance the city wanted to sell the property.

Town house and two story garden apartments have been suggested for the site. Financing would be under the federal 236 rental supplement program. Ald. James Eastman, in whose ward the development would be located, said FHA officials have indicated to him that financing this year is very unlikely. Racine already has three 236 projects underway and no other Racine projects would be entertained in 1971, Eastman said.

With their completion, area housing needs would be studied to determine future fund allocations. Ald. Arnold Weidner noted that the city; seeking to expand its tax base, has only one offer in front of it. If financing falls through, "we've lost nothing." Ald. Glen Hodel said he had heard some negative and perhaps inaccurate comments on Fogelson developments in Indianapolis and Richmond, Ind.

His suggestion that Flynn and City Planner Thomas Wright visit the cities to view the developments and talk with officials and neighbors was approved by the council. Ald. David Retzinger said that of primary concern to the city is whether the communities with Fogelson developments are satisfied. "We're interested in the people of this city having a development they can be proud of, and that they can live with," Retzinger said. "If we don't have that, all the references from banks mean nothing." Eastman questioned the need for additional schools in the area if two, three and four bedroom places are constructed.

City officials indicated the developer will discuss with Unified the sale of a portion of the site for an elementary school. The developer has indicated that some commercial zoning may also be sought, but completion of the sale does not depend on that zoning. Eastman said the sales agreement provides for several federal financing programs, in addition to the 236 program, and that more information should be received before the agreement is approved. Flynn said that the FHA will "have a great deal to say" as to the financing available to the builder he is really under their control." The options provide the builder with greater latitude, he said. Public Aid Rules Meeting The city has since contracted with adjacent areas of Mount Pleasnat, which is not incorporated and is still subject to annexation, for sewerage service.

Mrs. Streiff said village trustees have noted that the village is one of the municipalities lacking a contract with the city to dispose of sanitary sewage. She noted it appears "that serious health problems might occur for the entire area" and that the city is making application for federal assistance to enlarge its treatment facilities. The sewer battles with Elmwood Park have included a request to serve Beebe School which is in the village. Trouble developed in receiving approval for a new septic tank for the school.

The village asked that the city serve the school and the city said it would, but only if the school were detached from the village and put back into Mount Pleasant. Eventually approval was received for a new septic tank. The question of extending sanitary sewer service to the village developed again in 1964 when it was proposed that the Town of Mount Pleasant be annexed to Elmwood Park, a move which would cut off all further annexation of town areas to the city. The Elmwood-Mount Pleasant merger proposal lost in the courts and the city then invited the village to consolidate to receive services. The city suggestion was rejected by the village.

Public assistance legislation will be the focus of a meeting at 7:30 p.m., Feb. 2 at St. Edward's Church, 1401 Grove Ave. It is one of a series of meetings being held throughout the state by a statewide coalition of organizations hoping to gather local support on public assistance legislative issues. Known as the Public Assistance Coalition (PAC), the fifteen member group recently was formed to work for legislative action among member groups.

Concerned about cutbacks made by the last session of the legislature, the group, ac-. cording to a spokesman, is working for: "reinstatement of AFDC categories covering children of the unemployed, stepchildren and children aged 18 to 21 in school; expansion of eligibility for medical assistance; and gearing welfare payments to the cost of minimum needs for health and decency in Wisconsin as determined by the State Department of Health and Social Services." PAC members include League of Women Voters of Wisconsin, Wisconsin Catholic Conference, Wisconsin State AFL-CIO, Lutheran Social Services, Wisconsin Public Welfare Association, Wisconsin Council of Churches; Wisconsin Welfare Council, and the National Association of Social Workers (South Central Wisconsin Chapter), as well as Milwaukee and Dane County welfare and church groups. A group spokesman said Racine members of the various state groups were being urged to attend the meeting, which will be open to the public. STARS STRIPES Air Force Lt. Richard J.
