Demolition start of new city hall
By TANYA BARA CHUNG
Staff Writer
A demolition contractor will be chosen this month to begin destruction of buildings in the City.
The opening of bids for demolition of several grain elevators at Sixth and Massachusetts streets, the site for the new building, is set for April 18.
The clearing for the new city hall will begin after bids are taken for demolition.
The city commission meetings, now held on the fourth floor of the First National Bank Tower, 910 Massachusetts St., should have a new location by December 1979.
The buildings located east of the Massachusetts Street Bridge will be torn down. The bridge, the former Closelet tower and the adjacent tower are also scheduled to come down.
ONE FLOUR-STORAGE TOWER on the east side of the bridge will remain to support a cable-car across the Kansas River and for power plants that provide electricity and the power plant by the river, some former paper-manufacturing buildings north of the Santa Fe Railroad tracks and others.
The entire demolition contract should be finished by the end of October. Mike Wildgen, assistant city manager, said last week that the architects and commissioners had talked to demolition firms and thought it would be a wise construction of the site east of Massachusetts Street.
"They'll be using a big iron ball," Wilden said. There will be no blasting or burning permitted in the destruction of the site, he said.
The contract requires the demolition

AFTER THE DEMOLITION is completed, the firm constructing the new city begins to lay the foundation of the building. The representatives from this firm and the commissioners discussed last week the inner construction of the building at a study
The contractors wanted feedback from the commissioners on the blueprint of the floors and the rooms of the building. The commissioners discussed how they discussed the layout of the conference room where commission meetings would be held. The city commissioners decided that the new four-storey city hall should have compartmented offices, an atrium or an atmosphere of an amphitheater.
Commissioner Jack Rose said, "The contractors should strive for an informal seating arrangement and not one resembling a courtroom."
Buford Watson, city manager, said, "The present city commission meetings are held in a room which can hold up to about 45 people without using folding chairs."
The new city hall's conference room will seat about 90 people.
ROSE ALSO SUGGESTED that the mayor's office be made larger. He said the
Commissioner Barkley Clark said that if the many office was going to be large it would have to be smaller.
Commissioner Marnie Angersinger agreed with Clark and Rose, and said that if she had had an office during her past term, she would have worked on office hours for the citizens of Lawrence.

A FINAL DECISION still needs to be made on the method of construction for the new city hall. Two proposals were presented to the commissioners by Rod Lebold, a representative of Peters, Williams and Kubota.

The commissioners also decided that the new building would be heated by natural gas and cooled by electricity. The architects suggested that gas be used because of the annual cost of $17,200 a year, whereas an all-electric system would be $19,600 annually.
