Because
of what was termed a dangerous condition between Second and Third St., Police
Chief William Nagel has proposed that angle parking on the east side of Main
Ave. be discontinued, to be replaced with parallel parking. Changing the
parking in that block would also provide for a right turn lane for cars
northbound on Main at Second St., he added.

A
Las Vegas man who has been living in Kaukauna was arrested and charged with the
theft of an auto Thursday, but not before an automobile and foot chase which
included the demolition of a Kaukauna squad car. The suspect was charged with
the theft of the car, a 1974 Oldsmobile from the Gustman Chevrolet-Oldsmobile
sales on or about July 15. According to reports, police were notified Thursday
that the car was seen being pursued by a Gustman salesman who had recognized
the vehicle. The salesman, Pat Kenny, chased the suspect into a parking lot at
the Giddings & Lewis plant on Hyland Ave., where he abandoned the car and
fled on foot. An officer checking the Augustine St. area nearby saw him near
the Third lock and was taken into custody.
