The vote was 5-0 on councilman Fred Nelson's motion. Chester Crago and Ron Erkfitz appeared with the request from the LCC and said they had applied about a year ago and had met all requirements and passed all inspections. Mayor James Gibson wondered why this license was approved by the state when others he knew of had waited two years. He said he had talked with Sen, Robert Davis and been told the state wasn't authorizing any new ones at this time. Councilman Rex Gibbard said this was someone else's problem and felt council should vote yes or no.

But May Start Sunday Chess Match is Still up in Air County Zoning Plan is Awaiting Final State OK will pay for maintenance and repairs of the swimming pool if it is built by the authority jointly appointed by the council and board. The contract runs 25 years. The city had to have such a guarantee if it is to apply for federal Bureau of Outdoor Recreation funds to go with the $100,000 pledged by the city and funds to be raised by the authority. City Manager Richard Gorman said to get funds, the pool has to be at least partly an outdoor pool, and the city has to have title to the land.

In a related development, council engaged Daverman and Co. as architects for the pool. The contract stipulates they will waive their preliminary fee if the project doesn't get federal funding, otherwise they will prepare plans for the request. Mayor James Gibson asked if the city could apply for othei1 outdoor recreation funds in addition to this project, since the $100,000 pledge of the city was the extent of its planned donations toward the pool. Gorman said the city could apply for other' projects, too.

township plan is put into effect after the county's. Prior to approval of the Emmet plan several months ago, numerous public meetings were held by the zoning and planning boards in which adjustments were made. The present plan will be used as a base and will be adjustable to future needs in the unincorporated areas. Shanley, who had headed the county zoning board for two years, resigned the post last month. Vice chairman Al Foster will replace him on an interim basis.

He is expected to arrive in Petoskey sometime next week to begin groundwork in implementing the zoning program. Putters eventually will have an office in the city-county building in Petoskey. The zoning plan covers only the unincorporated areas of the county, excluding cities and zoned townships.

In all cases, township zoning supercedes county zoning even if the mm (M REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) The president of the World Chess Federation (FIDE) said today the much-postponed match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky may finally get under way Sunday. Dr. Max Euwe, president of FIDE, said "The match will start on Sunday or at the latest Tuesday." He said he felt the major outstanding differences had been settled at a meeting between FIDE, the Icelandic organizers and Spassky's advisers early today. But Lothar Schmid, the FIDE referee for the match, wasn't so optimistic. "This is if everything goes according to plan," he said.

"Things can still go wrong." Fischer Challenges Spassky Fischer, a 29-year-old chess genius from Brooklyn, is challenging Spassky, a Russian, for the world championship Spassky now holds. The match originally was to have started last Sunday but Fischer failed to show up in time, touching off a furor. Schmid said the draw of lots to decide who is to play white in the first of the 24 games in the $250,000 match will be held tonight (4 p.m. EDT). Euwe said a new meeting, also involving Fischer's advisers, will be held today.

He said he felt the Soviet demand for a penalty for the American challenger for showing up late for the start of the match "might be settled later" at the FIDE congress in Skopje, Yugoslavia. But Schmid said the Soviet demand that Fischer forfeit the first game and a crucial point in the battle for the world title was still not completely solved. One other point to be settled was Spassky's demand for a signed apology from Fischer. No such document has yet been presented to the Russian world champion but Euwe said he was satisfied that it would be forthcoming. Fischer presented an apology of sorts Wednesday when he broke his silence with a statement regretting the delay of the match.

Fischer said it was not Spassky's fault that the match had been delayed and saidhe "respected grandmaster Spassky as a player and man." Russian officials said the statement was expected to satisfy Spassky if delivered to him with Fischer's signature attached. By JIM HERMAN Emmet County's county-wide zoning plan has been sent to the State Department's Economic Development Commission for final approval that would put the ordinance into effect. A county officials said this morning that the state commission has been urged to take action on the ordinance by July 15. Once the state approves the county zoning plan, it will be immediately in effect. A period of 30 days will then be allowed wherein a petition can be filed to call a referendum on the zoning.

Even so, the plan would remain in effect until the outcome of a possible vote is determined. The zoning plan is the offspring of four years work by the county planning and zoning boards headed by Ward Walstrom and Bud Shanley.

The only resolution passed by the delegates so far accused Nixon of leading an "assault upon the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause" by suggesting a constitutional ban on busing.

Roy Wilkins, executive director. of the NAACP, denied however that there was a "formal organized movement against Nixon's election" at the convention. He noted that the NAACP has only once before abandoned its nonpartisan positionin 1964 when it opposed the election of Republican Barry Goldwater.
