The city would gain title to the property with a 25 year lease at $1, plus the railroad relieves the city of liability for injuries on site. The council could still face a lawsuit risk if the deal fails next week.

Heileman Battles To Survive In Tough Brewery Market
G. Heileman Brewing Co faces a tough future as consolidation narrows the field. President Russell Cleary told UWL business students that the industry could drop to eight or nine major brewers by year end 1973, with Heileman aiming to rise from 39th to as high as eighth. He noted regional strength, projected La Crosse production of two to three million barrels by 1974, and the ongoing impact of large competitors on pricing and advertising. Cleary also criticized nonreturnable bottle bans in Oregon and urged municipal recycling to curb litter.
