From the Logansport Daily Journal page 3 dated Aug. 27, 1882:

All the preliminaries for the extension of the Logansport branch of the Vandalia railway to Lake Michigan have been satisfactorily adjusted, and upon compliiance with a few easy conditions the contact will be closed, and the work will be commenced and pushed to completion.

Readers of the Journal are familiar with the route of this line to Marmont (Maxinkuckee), and will have no difficulty in following it to South Bend and the lake...
With these advantages before them, our citizens are asked to consider one of the conditions above named, which condition is that the right of way shall be furnished free to the new line thorugh our county. The estimated cost of this right of way is from $7,000 to $10,000 and it is proposed to raise the amount by subscription. A consideraable portion of this subscription has already been secured, and a committee appointed for that purpose will make an effort to raise the remainder during the present week...

Our Town Board Votes to Retain Bar on Hard Liquor by the Drink

Monday night our Town Board - Donald B. Hand, Harvey E. Guynn, and Judd P. Stinchcomb - by a unanimous 3 to 0 vote denied the application of Ruth and Don McCambridge to sell had liquor (meaning whiskey and similar concoctions) by the drink in their Lakeview Tavern at 618 Lake Shore Drive.

Mr. and Mrs McCambridge currently have a beer and wine license and have a fine reputation for the conduct of their establishment.

The Culver Citizen has no quarrel whatsoever with the decision of our Town Boar. All things considered, it was probably a wise one.

This newspaper now believes, in view of this decisio, that no person or persons have a ghost of a chance to obrain a so-calle three-way license within the corporation limits of CUlver until there is a change in the complextion of the Town Board. The terms of all three members run until Dec. 31, 1955... The Citizen does, however, seriously question the manner in which the hearing was held.

After the Monday evening meeting someone remarked that the Town Board played to a "packed house". We checked on this accusation with some surprising results. The oppnents of the application, tipped off wiell in advance, were out in full force. They let go with their full ammunition - effectively and rarther concicinhly. The McCambridges did not learn that their application was to be considered until almost the time of the Town Board meeting. Due to this surprise maneuver not a single supporter was on hand to speak in their behalf.

Frankly, we do not believe that the Town Board was influenxe in the slightest degree by all the oratory... We fell sure that they had all but cast their formal balots days before...

The point we are trying to make is this: In view of all the rumors that have been in circulation for months and months regarding the future licensing policy of the Town Board we believe that both the prohibitionists and the linerals were entitled to ample advance notice of a session of the Town Board of such genuine importance. We further believe that the Citizen should have been permitted to have publishied a andvance news story of what was scheduled to happen on the night of May 3, 1954. - - May 5 1954

1963 - jan. 22- Three-Way Liquor permits Granred 2 Local restaurants

The Marshall County Alcoholic Beverage Board granted three-way retailers permits last Thursday,Jan. 16, to two Culver restaurants, the E l Ray Restaurant and the Lake View Restaurant. Both establishments heretofore had only two-way permits. The Culver votes were 3-0. Ted Hayes representing the State announced the Board's decision at 10:30 a.m. after an hour and a half debate.

Representing the El Ray Restaurant were Dick Kreighbaum and Bernard Scheetz and Kathryn and Robert May represented the Lake View Restaurant.

A delegation of Culver citizens headed by Dr. Ronald C. Williams appeared as remonslrators against the three-way permits. Speakers for the remonstrance included: Mrs. Ruth MacQuillan, president of Union township Council of Churches; the Rev. Walter S. Chisholm on behalf of the Culver Ministerial Association: Sanford C. Snyder, an insurance agent; Mrs. Guy Davis, homemaker; and Theodore L. Ervin, president of the Culver Town Board.

Mr. Hayes said in granting the permits " I feel that every effort will be made by these gentlemen to conduct their businesses in a lawf ul manner. As to the validity , we can only assume that it, is legal. A suit had been filed by Dr. Williams to test the validity of Culver town ordinance No. 177



1964 - May 15 - The Lake View Tavern, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Robert May of 603 School Street, has a new store front.
