Small towns struggle in Lawrence's shadow

Living in the shadow of Lawrence are a variety of small, rural communities that are forced to compete with Lawrence for consumer dollars, residents and industry.
The towns of Lecompton, Eudora and Baldwin each face problems in providing such basic services as water, sewage treatment and fire protection.
Working from small tax bases, the towns must look increasingly to county, state and federal governments for the funds needed to finance community development projects.
Ten years ago, there were two grocery stores, a filling station, two auto repair shops and a restaurant in Lecompont, which is located eight miles west of Lawrence. Now, all that is left is the Hy-Klasg grocery store according to its owner, Carl Balmauer.
"TheOLD BOY running the filling station said to 'heck with it' when people would buy just enough gas to get them to work, where they would fill up," Baummer said.
He said that most of Lecompton's residents worked and shopmed in Lawrence
"I'm not going to stay here much longer," he said, "I will wait until the kids get out of school."
Another Lecompton resident, Dorothy Shoner, is a member of the town council and president of the city council.
ALONG WITH THE DOWNFALL of business in Lecompton, the town shows signs of neglect. Many of the streets are made of brick and have no grass; there are difficult to drive on than the gravel ones.
According to Shaner, improvements are few because of lack of funds.
Most of Lecompont's revenue, which comes from water service, is used to pay employees of the town, Shaner said. Town employees include a clerk, a treasurer, a maintenance man and a part-time policeman.
She said the town recently installed a new sewer system and needed funds for the project.
IN CONTRAST TO LECOMPTON,
Baldwin and Eudora are two small towns that are experiencing steady growth and are economically sound.
Baldwin, which is the home of Baker University, is located about 15 miles south of Lawrence. Baker has an enrollment of about 1,000 students and employs 195 people.
The town also has a newspaper publishing company, two small manufacturing companies, and a dairy farm.
To the casual observer, Baldwin appears to be prosperous. However, like other small towns, Baldwin has its own problems, most of which concern the operation of its municipally owned utilities. Town officials have grown ineffective in the utilities, which have grown ineffective.
The town has just finished building a sewage treatment plant and is awaiting construction of a water pipeline from Lawrence.
John Robinson, city commissioner and local insurance agent, said the water pipeline was broken.
Although the plant was started before the Environmental Protection Agency requested it, Robson said he was sure EPA would have requested that the plant be built.
"We made applications for funds six years ago and got them this February," he
tobson explained that the original cost of the project was $240,000. Baldwin paid 25 percent, or about $60,000, of the cost and EPA paid the rest.
During the six-year wait, the cost of the project increased by $495 million and Baldwin's profit increased by $495 million.
ROISON SAID that the town sold $1 million in bonds to pay for the project but didn't make a profit.
Baldwin's completion of its sewage treatment plant is an example of the problems many small towns have with the federal government.
said, "I don't know why it took them so long."
Tom Dillon, vice president of the Baldwin State Bank, said Baldwin was economically strong, although it needed a stronger business economy.
Although Baldwin is experiencing an influx of new families, many people work out of town and spend most of their money in Lawrence or Kapsas City, he said.
LIKE OTHER SMALL TOWNS, Baldwin has limited resources. Although property tax revenues have increased, the revenues do not match the inflation rate.
EUDORA, LIKE BALDWIN, has the same similar qualities that are begin- ning to be successful.
A town of about 2,800, Eudora lies nine miles east of Lawrence.
The town also has municipally owned water and sewer treatment plants, a

The future looks good for Eudora, better than any other part of Douglass County. There's a glint in her eyes.
Lawrence residents who are moving to Eudora and building new homes are increasing the city's property tax valuation because of inflation is hurting the town. Howard said.
"It costs too much when they get involved," Hoover said. "Then they'll tell you what they want done instead of what you want done, and then if you can do it without federal money."
swimming pool, recreation areas and a volunteer fire department.
LIKE BALDWIN, Eudora has had problems with the federal government, and now her government funds to pay for the water plant, which was completed five years ago,
Eudora completed a new water and sewer treatment plant about five years ago and is now completing additional improvements to the facility, now the city to handle increased demands.
The town's street program has been affected the most. As soon as the town pays off more of its bonds, it will begin a street improvement project, he said.
The town also has completed a new swimming pool and recreation area.
Increased costs, though, would limit the amount of patching, resealing and paving required.

Cities hear employees complain
Philadelphia officials announced emergency plans yesterday to deal with the health hazard posed by trash that has been spilled onto city streets by almost 20,000 municipal employees.
Meanwhile, firefighters in Louisville, Ky., ended their five-day walkout yesterday after voting overwhelmingly for the incumbent. Orleans, garbage collectors staged a
wildcat strike over the lack of trucks in good repair.
Forty-eight union firefighters in Salt Lake City have warned that they will walk off the job Aug. 1 unless they are fired. The city has also built on radioactive uranium waste.
