Public discusses Clinton access
By TERRY DIEBOLT
Staff Writer
Property values, privacy and the environmental impact of the Clinton Parkway have been the main issues mentioned in two days of public hearings about condemnation procedures for land to be taken up by the parkway.
Yesterday's hearing was for landowners within the Lawrence city limits. Hearings for landowners outside the city limits were held Monday.
The four-lane parkway will begin at the corner of 23rd and Iowa streets and will run west to Clinton Lake.
A committee composed of Gerald Cooley, legal counsel for the city of Lawrence; Dan Young, legal counsel for Douglas County; Joseph Marzuffi, Robert Harrison and G. F. Bodin, legal counsel in a consultant board heard the landowners and others interested in the procedures.
ROBERT DUNNE, a representative of Biuset Equities, an organization of landowners, said he held on to his land, at the corner of 23rd and Kasold streets, in the hope that it would become more valuable. He said he found that the plans for the parkway did not give his land the access that he desired.
Remodeling of courthouse delayed by last touches
Several small problems are causing delays in the remodeling of the Douglas County Courthouse, Stan Harrison, architect, supervisor of the project, said yesterday.
Although the building will be substantially complete by Sept. 1, the county offices do not expect to move back to it before Oct. 15. The county jail, a 75-year-old courthouse began last summer.
Harris, of the Peters, Williams and Kubata architectural firm, 2500 W. Sixth St., said that substantially complete meant the project would not be 100 percent done but that the county could move in before all the "adds and ends" were finished.
However, Douglas County Commissioner Peter Whitengit said the county had agreed to a 30-day extension of the project's completion date to allow the contractor, Green Construction Co. In., 1207 Iowa St., the time necessary to finish.
B. A. GREEN, owner of Green Construction, said that as long as delivery of the remaining hardware was on time, there would be no problem meeting the Oct. 1.
"Installation of the elevator took longer than planned," he said. "We've had trouble finding qualified finish carpenters and finishing in slower than we thought it would."
Green said the volume of construction
Access refers to planned roads leading onto adjacent property.
"We really want it to have the access and would have given the right-away in
Right-of-way is a strip of land over which a highway, railroad or power line is built.
John Lungstam, an attorney for Bluestem, said he had never seen any commercial area in Lawrence with access as poor as that planned for the parkway.
The parkway is a controlled access highway and the access roads have been determined by the Federal Highway Administration.
work in Lawrence this summer had made it hard to find carpenters who were experienced enough to do finish work on the courthouse's ornamental wood trim.
under state statute that allowed for compensation and one of them was access.
"Most of the landowners wanted to give up the right-of-way for a change in the regulations on access, but they couldn't be changed." Lungstum said. "If it is for safety or other reasons, it still diminishes the ability of the owner should be compensated."
"THE LANDOWNERS are wanting access at a point on 23rd Street and this differs from the plans," Cooley said. "On a controlled highway, the access roads must have a minimum distance between them, and as such the road does not put the roads in places not on the plan."
Deliveries of the mill work, such as counters and cabinets, have been slow, which has caused some of the delay. However, most of it has been received and will be ready for installation next week, Green said.
The four KU assistant professors of archei-
tic history, Gordon Witton and John Morris and Thomas
Coley said the property in question was not commercially zoned. Any development at the intersection could be provided access from Kasaso Road, he said.
Lungstrum said, "If death and taxes are two things in life that are certain, a third certainty is that the intersection will become commercially zoned."
According to Cooley, there is speculation about how the city will zone the areas. A tract in question had been up previously for commercial zoning and was refused.
"Whether they will get the zoning in the future is anybody's question." Cooley said.
They will join architecture professors from other universities at the institute, which is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and is organized by the American Institute of Architects Research Center and the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
"I hope that we can focus on methods of teaching energy conservation and the ways that are effective in getting students interested in these issues," he said. "We know the energy issues involved and I would be able to handle them with ease, handle it and if they have been able to successfully convey it to students. I hope that's what we get out of the conference."
"We are talking about having a developer come in and plan a shopping center."
KU professors plan to attend energy institute
Four KU professors will travel to Cambridge, Mass., tomorrow to attend the weeklong Summer Institute on Energy-Conscious Design.
Wittenberg said he hoped that they would all leave the conference with new information about teaching energy-efficient design.
LUNGSTRUM SAID there were 15 areas
susan Diefreeze, 2230 Marvonne Road, is not worried about the吵闹 of the land her house stands on, but she said the parkway may increase the resale value of her property.
"Our concern is the increased traffic, noise and pollution as cars go past our house," Defreese said. "It doesn't come to a dollar figure, but we feel that the original estimate did not take into account the effect of the parkway on property value."
ROBERT CATLOTH, representing himself and the Reformed Presbyterian Church, said the original offer by the state were for one-half the value of the land.
According to Caitlin, the planners did not take into account the people along the route.
Catolth's house was on land needed for the right-of-way and he had to move.

"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?" Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25
"THE JUDGMENT!" Consider these judgments of God already announced over 2,500 years ago, written down and preserved, and found in the 3rd chapter of the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel.
The late Sam Jones made the following comment concerning that heat of your eyes, "You must search for you to the cemetery, and the Judgment of God Almighty." Hebrews 7:9 tells man "it is appointed unto man once to die, but after this the
"Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and that he shall die in his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity: BUT HIS BLOOD WILL I REQUIRE AT THINE HAND. YET if thou warn the wicked, and turn not from his wickedness, nor from his death, then die in his iniquity, but thou hast delivered thy soul.
"Again. When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block between him and his rightness, he shall break it, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered, but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless if thou want the righteousness of thy soul, then thou shouldst sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned: ALSO THOU HAST DELIVERED THEY SOUL."
