Wire elevation will end delay in bridge razing
A dispute over the removal of a high-voltage power line running beneath the Massachusetts Street bridge was settled this week and razing will not be delayed.
Stephen Hill of the Bowersock Mills Power Co., and the three Douglas County commissioners signed a contract that provided the company $4,500 for the temporary removal of the lapse.
Bowersock submitted the $4,500 price tag to the county as the lower of two bids received. The county public works department did not submit a bid on the project.
"We just don't have the capability for that kind of job. Peter. Whitenth, County Commissioner."
Pat Ryan of S & S Line Contractors of Olathe, the lowest bidders, said that work would begin late this week and should be completed by Tuesday. By contract, there is a maximum 30-day time limit for the relocation.
The project includes removing the 2,300-volt power line from beneath the bridge and stringing it over the 95-foot-tall pole on the east side of the river. The tail will then span the Kaw River without support from the Bowersock building.
To prevent hazards in the removal of the existing bridge or in the construction of the new bridge, Bowersock agreed to temporarily curtail use of the line for short intervals whenever anyone might be endangered.
The line connects Bowersock Mill to a Kansas Power and Light substation at Sixth and Massachusetts streets but KR&L offends it. The district will be affected by the temporary curtailments.
No agreement has been negotiated yet for the restoration of the line after the new bridge was built.

Keys...
THE NEW COMPUTER science center will be fitted with Medeo high-security locks. Medeo is the same company that makes locks for the FBI.
The new satellite student union and the Mallot Hall addition also will have high-tech
It costs about $25 to install a high-security lock cylinder and $10 for a standard cylinder. However, McManness says, because of the money saved by reduced thefts, the locks would pay for themselves in three years.
Standard lock cylinders recently were replaced by McManness on two floors of Haworth Hall for security reasons at a cost of $1,200.
"Their master key situation got out of hand," she said. "They didn't know where their keys were."
"Right now we're putting in a new lock system at the Column labs for the same reason."
"THERE'S BEEN some higher-ups who wanted a master key given out that would open every room on campus. Just the thought of that scares me.
can you understand what would happen if one of those keys got in the wrong hands?"
Not wishing to face that, McManness is careful about the keys he gives out.
"The original key system is drawn up at a keying conference, which is held long before construction of the building ever starts," McManness says.
"Then the tumbler settings are figured out by a computer."
Four years ago, when Watkins Hospital moved out of what is now Twente Hall, McManness manually re-engineered the entire lock system for the old building.
Each key has seven notches and each notch can be cut to different depths. In such a building as Wesco Hall, which has 32 different master key systems overlapping one another, the electrical control system is necessary to integrate these lock systems can boggle minds.
"DON'T ASK ME how," he says. "I just
need it cost me three nights of sleep.
"I only did it because I wanted to see if it could. I've always thrived on challenges."
Challenges are not new to McManness, who is 54 years old and never has a high school diploma.
At 17, an age when many modern Kansas boys are learning to sack groceries and drink beer, McManness was on his own in San Diego, managing a 18-tory paring
He's been a feed salesman in the Carolinas, a gas station operator-manager in north Lawrence and a painter several places in between.
trade HE CONSIDERDS painting to be his real paint He owned a paint and wallpaper store in Lawrence for eight years before coming to work at KU as a locksmith.
"Ive always figured that I could do anything I wanted to if I wanted it bad
"Since I started out from scratch, there's never been anything behind me but my instincts."
"As a locksmith, I know the trade, but not I'm a master," he says. "I see guys who can stick a feeler into a look and then carve it out on a blank with a simple crootho
"Those are things you just have to have in
the. The guy who was here before我 was
going to have."
AFTER A short pause, he says, "Let me take that back. There are two colors I've never been able to match. One is the mettle kind, because it changes color in light."
"Paint my art. Show me any color and I can mix up a patch of paint to match it."
"And the other is the color inside your head. I've tried to duplicate that many times, but it always ends up a little bit off."
