Free Parking in City
Lot May be Approved
10c PER COPY — $3 PER YEAR
Removal of parking meters
from the city parking lot, on a
three-months' trial period, has
been recommended to the City
CouncU by the planning commission.
The recommendation followed
a joint meeting of Council, the
planners, and a dozen downtown
businessmen and Chamber of
Commerce members, Tuesday
evening.
The trial free-parking period
in the lot would include the
months of November, December
and January,  to benefit mer-
Saline Hotel
To Move to
New Site
The Saline Hotel will move to
a new location and erect a restaurant and motel, its owner,
Henry Leutheuser, said today.
Earlier plans to rebuild the
hotel restaurant at its downtown location will either be
abandoned or adapted, Leutheuser and his son, Eugene, said.
Leutheuser, who has taken a
four-months' option to purchase
the Harvey Kluwe property at
the east edge of the city, hopes
to be in operation there "by
next fall" — plans include a restaurant larger than the one
planned here, and a motel of at
least 12 units.
The proposed site is now occupied by a restaurant, "Carl's
Place", which will be demolished to make way for the new
construction, Leutheuser said.
Kluwe has been in business
there since 1930; "Carl's Place"
was opened by his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Carl Kluwe, in 1929.
Kluwe has "absolutely no
plans", he said today.
Neither are there any positive plans for the present Saline
Hotel site and building, Leutheuser said. AetuaUy, only the
restaurant part of the building
remains; the two-story hotel
section was torn down this summer and architect's drawings
for expansion were underway.
The building to be constructed on the Kluwe property will
be larger, and will provide more
adequate parking space for both
restaurant and motel, Leutheuser said.
It includes 20 acres, nearly all
inside the city limits.
chants   through   their   holiday
and post-holiday sales.
The planning commission will
then make a study to learn how
much revenue was lost "by the
absence of meters, and how
much benefit merchants feel
they received from the free facility, Jack Craigmile, planning
commission chairman, said.
The commission doesn't feel
it would aid businessmen by removing meters from the street,
he said; these will be retained
to keep parking places for transient traffic.
Councilmen at the meeting
indicated they would approve
the recommendation, after a
unanimous show of approval .
from the businessmen present. "
The next" regular meeting of
Council is Monday, November 5.
A possible disadvantage of
the plan, Craigmile said, is that
"we are not in a position to obtain additional parking lots unless we have the revenue. Some
form of revenue, presumeably
from the municipal lot, is needed to project further lots in
the future. If the revenue is not
sufficient without the meters
in the present lot, then where
is it going to come from?"
A number of businessmen at
the meeting, however, said they
believe the present lot is adequate and another will not be
needed. Said Craigmile: "But
the problem is to look ahead
for what will be needed in the
future."
A planning commission com-
Schools Outline Bus
Plan for Emergency
School officials, after an emergency
meeting with teachers WeJlnesday morning,
issued the following announcement:
In the event of any attack warning, the
school buses will leave from the Elementary
School and follow their regular procedure.
They will take town children from the
Elementary School only; from that point
they will follow normal loading procedure except that children of the other two schools
who live in town will be asked to walk home
immediately.
Buses are to he parked at the Elementary School during the day until further notice.
A teacher has been assigned to each bus,
to prevent panic and assist children in getting out and crossing roads. The assigned
teacher will drive the bus in the event the
regular driver does not arrive in time. In any
event the assigned teacher will go with the
bus on the trip.
We request that parents do NOT come
to school with, their cars. In the evenf that
they attempt to come despite our request,
do not attempt to enter the area within a
block of any school.
Teachers will be assigned, with flares,
to stop traffic if necessary, at the High
School exit on N. Ann Arbor St., Aim Arbor
and McKay streets, Lawson St., the railroad
track, and Harris street.
If people let us do our job, we will get
the children home easier and faster than
they can. We can get the chilctren home within the expected range of time after a warning is given, providing w<* aTe not interfered
with.
