A council member, William Beyer, executive director of the Wisconsin Alliance of Cities, called the action a protest over a rule which accepts only feder- iiilfRenewa i i Project Starts i SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. (AP) Workers broke ground for a $3.2 million urban renewal proiect here.

City leaders, Urban Renewal Commission members and even a group of children from a nearby daycare center watched i the demolition of a two-story I frame house, as rejuvenation of the downtown area got under way. i Locally and federally funded, I the project calls for the devel- 1 opment of a shopping mall in the heart of the city, rerouting of the Interstate 75 business spur and a new bridge over the Edison electric power company canal. The renewal commission was appointed by the city in 1964, and the first funding was by the Department of Housing and Urban Development in 1970. Final agreement between the city and the federal government was reached in January 1973. Last Monday, the commission approved the loan and grant portion of the project, clearing the way for the start of the project.

i WAKEFIELD The Wakefield Township Board of Educa- tion will meet Monday night at 7 at Wakefield High School to set a school budget for the 1973-74 school year.

The performance objectives are like course outlines for the various classes and age levels in schools, with performance standards given by which stu- I dents and the educational programs can be measured. I In a sense, the performance i objectives set both the goals 1 and standards for educational programs for schools in the state, but the objectives are only suggested at the present time, not required. Creger said. Creger said a Michigan Association of School Boards convention in Detroit also will be discussed at the meeting.
