1 Northwestern Bell: .had established - before divestiture to-,identify 2 their underground cables : 3 � "Wine in Grocery Stores"' Legislation Almost Certain to be - Resurrected .- 4 During Next Session . 5 The above alert was issued by Councilmember Ranallo, who indicated 6 that was the perception of what would be .happening held by the League 7 legislative committee he served .- on. He re.ported, the League had 8 requested the liquor industry lobbyists to work with them to oppose 9 that bill'. The Councilmember speculated that it. had been concern 10 about this legislation passing, coupled with the higher dram shop 11 insurance costs, which had caused Coon Rapids to go out of the liquor 12 business completely. 13 When Councilmember Ranallo said he was looking for Council volunteers 14 -to work with Mr. Childs as League contact persons on various issues , 15 Councilmember Makowske commented that might be a natural offshoot of 16 her service on the Ramsey County .

He said the City residents 26 would naturally expect to find news about their city carried on the , . 27 front page of the paper and many would probably never read beyond 28 that point. Mr. Jones said the copy had gotten to him too late to 29 get a copy measurement for the front page and, assuming it would- be 30 better to carry it where space was available than to leave it -out 31 entirely, he had taken :out another -article to get the article printed 32 on page 15 . The reporter disputed the assumption that St. Anthony 33 residents only read the first pages of the newspaper. 34 Marks Notes National Speaker ' s Appearance at St. Anthony High School 35 That Evening 36 The Counci.lmember .indica.ted he had hoped the Council, meeting .would be 37 over in time for. him to participate .in_ the evening session. of the 38 drug awareness seminar to be -conducted by Jevon .Thompson of 39 .
