Harborview Plaza funding losses loom for city
The city faces a potential $145,000 deduction from its 1977 federal community development block grant as Harborview Plaza land sales stall. HUD told Mayor Zielke the deduction could recur in 1978 and 1979 totaling $435,000, unless the city submits an alternate repayment plan demonstrating hardship and equivalent total repayment. The Harborview project deficit is estimated at $563,695 after expected land sale proceeds.

Farmer to Be Waiting for Unwanted Hunters
In Richland Center Wisconsin an unsigned ad by Ray Russell warned two hunters who strayed on the John Zeller property with a tongue in cheek message promising peace and prosperity next year if they return. Russell said the dogs were shot as they neared his home and survived though their hindquarters were hit. He noted other locals have lost stock to hunters and questioned the ecological costs of hunting alongside deer yields.
