Council Grants Permit To Corporation
The Common Council denied a beer license to Albert Di Piazza Jr. for the Italian Village but granted a license to D and M Enterprises, Inc. for the same establishment. A cabaret license for the Flamingo Club at 126 N. 3rd St. was denied due to insufficient space. Di Piazza was denied as an individual because of delinquent taxes and a “questionable residence,” and he applied through the corporation. Alderman Storck noted the corporation is subject to the Wisconsin Bulk Sales Act and that delinquent taxes could still be collected.
