Delivered RFD 11-10-71 lo Crosse Tribune, Tuesday, November 9, 197111 Peftibone Land Rental Pacts Leases By ROBIN THOMPSON (L Crosse TrHsime Stott Writer) The La Crosse Park Board voted Monday to allow residents of the South Pettibone area on Barron Island to renew their land leases for another five years at the same rental rates. The decision is subject to Common Council approval. Faced by about 25 residents of the area, the board approved continuance of the leasing operations virtually unchanged. According to the motion, residents must renew their leases before the expiration date of their present leases and subleasing of property in the area will be allowed only with written permission of the park board. In making the motion, Alder man Ferdinand Sontag (4th Ward) told the board that 38 families, many on limited incomes, would have to find other housing under critical conditions if the leases werent renewed, He declared that there is alsol no specified use of the land and" the city is faced with trying financial times.

Yet, Sontag continued, we fly in the face of all this (when considering not renewing the leases). Aftr the board meeting was opened to public discussion, for- mer Alderman Richard S. Schelbe said there hasnt been enough study done on the situation and the many contributing factors. He suggested that a committee should be formed of two park board members, two residents of the area, the city attorney and possibly the mayor to study the question. Park Commission president L.

E. Sheehan declared that he felt the problem could be studied, to death. We know what the problem is, he explained, and its time to make a decision. Earlier at the meeting, before the residents of the area were present, the board got into the question of health code violation. In a report to the Common Council, George Baldwin, city health officer, said that 32 of 38 buildings on city-owned land in the area have at least one violation.

Baldwin told the board Monday that because of the magnitude of the problem, the health board wouldn't move to enforce the health code unless there was a directive from the council. Sontag remarked that the health problem has no relation to the park boards considers-, tion. He added that local codes have to be enforced, althohgh he could sympathize with people. Baldwin replied, Thats the problem, they cant be enforced. He added that if the park board renews the leases, Well take a new look at it, but if it doesnt, Well stay away from it." Council Unit Defeats 3 Per Cent Room Tax Unit Approves South Avenue Forking Ban Parking will be prohibited 24 hours a day on South Avenue, under legislation approved Monday night by the La Crosse Common Council committee-of-the-whole.

Before, the 24-hour parking ban applied only to the major parts of South Avenue between 3rd Street and 13tb Street. All parking was prohibited from 3rd Street to Ward Avenue between 2:30 and 5:30 p.m. weekdays and Saturday. The Wisconsin Division of Highways last year asked for a 24-hour parking ban along the entire street, but the council allowed some exceptions for a year to allow property owners to provide off-street parking. The 24-hour parking baa must be approved by the full council Thursday night before it becomes effective.

These comments were made by Aldermen: Harold Swanson (20th Ward) I dont favor an additional lax to an industry (tourism) we already have. Patrick Zielke (19th Ward) The revenue is a drop in the bucket." A general, across-the-board tax would be better. Donald Medinger (18th Ward) Three per cent on a $10 a night room is 30 cents. I dont think they will drive to Coon Valley to get a room to avoid that." Merlin Bauer (16th Ward) and Ferdinand Sontag (4th Ward) The tourist and commercial traveler bring money into the city. Only Aldermen Richard Arneson (5th Ward), Loren Wardwell (9th Ward), Rocl-lich, Kenneth Niedbalski (17th Ward) and Medinger supported the measure.

The action to kill the proposal must be confirmed Thursday night by the full A three per cent room tax, strongly opposed by La Crosse hotel and motel owners, was defeated Monday night by the Common Council committee-of-the-whole. The vote was 15 to 5. Alderman Thomas Roellich (12tl Ward) unsuccessflly fought to save the measure, saying it would provide $70,000 in revenue and would help ease the loss of shared taxes as a result of formula revisions signed into law last week by Gov. Patrick Lucey. Its unfair to have the property owner take the burden, he said.

Thomas Woulfe, speaking for the La Crosse Hotel and Motel Owners Association, disputed Roellichs estimate of income, saying that both Milwaukee and Madison real-ized far less income than expected after they approved a room tax. Assuming 65 per cent occupancy, the revenue would be about $54,000, he said. But, he argued, a room tax would drive motel users out of the city. Styles Aid Children's Home Hot pants, body knits, furs, square city-leg pants for the gals and suits accented with the new pleated pocket look for the guvs were all on the entertainment scene Monday night in a local cocktail lounge.
