Call Aldermen to Mall Purchase of 1M Terminal
A special meeting of the common council is set for tomorrow night to consider buying the downtown TM station and grounds for off street parking. Jay Maeder, an industrial engineer with an option on the Milwaukee Waukesha rapid transit line, offers to sell the site for 25000 to fund operating needs. The plan would yield about half an acre along the Fox River, supporting roughly 40 cars at an estimated cost of 600 per car. Mayor Honevyager and City Planner Edward Moore note the site fits the original parking plan. land owned by a railroad is hard to secure, but the city would lease the station back to Maeder for terminal use. The city could immediately use the land for parking without surfacing.

Pump Operates Water Supply Restored In Waukesha
Arthur P. Kurant, manager of the water utility, withdrew a plea for residents to curb sprinkling and unnecessary water use. A temporary pump replaces the inoperative Newhall Avenue pump, which had supplied about 25 percent of the city’s water. The Newhall pump, called a wartime baby by Kurant, failed early last week. Water reserves had been adequate until Thursday when pressure dropped, leaving some families on Hospital Hill and Chicago Avenue without water. The temporary pump was operating Saturday, and the announcement was delayed to ensure reliability and restore reserves.
