This could even draw people here from the outside to mous working mother for her do their shopping. Well, suppose the shopping center is approved, the next stimulating thoughts and hope thing, we would have to choose the appropriate site. As stated my few words can be stimu earlier in the article the three suggested sites, lets first consider lation for constructive action. Respectfully, the one near the Tribal Administrative Center, according to the Please be advised that the Tribal Council or any of Redine Kirk Calica study made here by Dave Leland revealed the fact that if this prior to any travel on behalf of it’s Committees, travel author were the choice, then this would support a store like a seven to izations must be approved by eleven type grocery store. There would be a lot of loss away from SSSS the Municipal Manager. Also the highway which could be harmful to the Tribes.

His reply was, well sir, if you know your approve their travel. ,■ on the other hand this area isn’t the most ideal site because it trade there is no problem at all.

Another problem to be considered is the center ale for this policy is to make being down on the river bottom.

Carl Sandburg present time everyone is subjected to shopping in this area and also to draw trade off highway 26 and from travel from Kah-Nee-Ta. Does show more safety measures as the children would not be exposed to the highway to and from the shopping center. The majority of the local residents would not have to travel on the highway which also lessens the prospects of traffic accidents. Even though there would have to be a few houses removed this would still show the best results. At the present time some of these house should be condemned, the upkeep could be too great for their value and also the occupants could move into new and modern homes. The shopping center in this area would also improve all the streets leading to and from highway 26. The Kah-Nee-Ta junction would also be improved to insure safety in that area.
