However the new building , tenant, Mr. Cecil Tilly of Clemmons, who used to be - an employee at the restau rant, reportedly told Wiseman he had *lost two businesses in the last two years. Wiseman said the last one was the Myer-Lee Motel and Restaurant just off 1-40. Wiseman said. "Last week he came here wanting to purchase the equipment | for $30,000. I've already paid J $110,000 for it." Wiseman isaid he asked him if he thought he could get a similar -deal from any other restaurant. Tilly reportedly told- him no. 'Wiseman also says that Tilly told him that he was I able to come up with only L $2 ,500 as a downpayment for the equipment. Wiseman L said no other money in a I greater amount* had been I seen or talked of. ? Wiseman said that Tilly !came to him on Tuesday to ask if he could rent the equipment for $300 a month for 10 years. Wiseman {refused.

Many .merchants and . customers agree "with him. The incident has sparked critical comments from both blacks and whites who want to see Wiseman stay. However, most of their efforts to keep Wiseman's operation open have been ineffective. Mrs. Citron has denied Wiseman's race insinuations^ saying, "he has been consistenly behind in his rent since he took over." She said thafr Wiseman was given the opportunity to catch up his rent but never did. "The shopping center's sole income comes from the rent we get from our tenants," she said. "We A Procedure I Continued From Page ;1 chairman of the public safety committee, said the new procedure will go before the full board for ? approval . Monday night. He said he did not expect any opposition. Earlier Tuesday, the board's finance committee held a public hearing on plans for the third year of the Community Development Plan. .

She said that since she has seen with the shopping :enter for not paying tenant, who was white, was asked to leave the shopping center for not paying his rent. "There ~; was no big fuss over that," she said, "I don't understand why there is one over this." "I have committed the space to a new tenant, and I am not going back on that committment." Mrs. Citron said that Tilly's business background and references had been checked and that"she was satisfied that he could pay his rent. , . Wiseman, who has worked. in the restautant chain since age 15, said his only concern at this point was to get back _ the money he paid for the equipment if he could not . operate the restaurant. Wiseman said the late Mr. Staley asked him not to give away the equipment before he died. He has kept that promise, but the question now is what will he do with it, if he can't find a place to use it. Approved representative for the League of Women Voters, Marianne Steintrager, said she was concerned that, the city was not giving enough low and moderate income housing for those affected by Community Development. She sighted the Coluriibia Heights - area as a prime example. She also asked the board if their decision to begin the . first project of the third year plan in the Winston-Salem State area might not constitute a conflict of interest for alderman ~C.C.
