Water board to consider city contract
Bv MELISSA CORDONIER
Staff Writer
The Kansas Water Resources Board has decided to call a special meeting later this month to consider approval of a contract with the water from Clinton Reservoir to Lawrence.
The board agreed to hold the special meeting because water rates will increase as of Jan. 1, 1978, for all contracts approved after that date.
Buford Watson, city manager, said yesterday approval of the contract before Jan. 1 would救 the city about one and a half cents per thousand gallons of water
He said the city expected to use about 10 million gallons of water a day from the reservoir, resulting in a savings of more than $548,000 a year.
WATSON SAID the 46-year contract would be subject to review every 10 years by the board to determine possible rate increases.
James Power Jr., executive director of the board, said yesterday that board engineers and staff members were in final details of the contract with the city staff.
Power said the details included the type of water meter to be installed, the location of water treatment ducts and frequency of payments to be made to the state.
Power said the contract would be
commission for approval before it is sent to
the company.
Power said he had not pushed for completion of the Lawrence contract because he had known other area communities would not complete their contracts until this month. Baldwin and I also will use water from the reservoir.
POWER SAID HE called the special meeting because he wanted the board to act on all the Clinton contracts at the same time.
Clinton Reservoir, four miles southwest of Lawrence, will be filled in stages during the next four years. When filled, the lake will cover 7,000 acres, 875 feet above sea level.
The staged-filling plan is supposed to allow the city to begin taking water from the lake as soon as the city's water treatment process is completed, probably in the summer of 1979.

The center will have four machines used in the treatment of cancer. he said.
Three of the machines are million volt linear accelerators, which are the most expensive of all the equipment available. The machines, which will have six, 20, and 40 million volts respectively, treat cancerous tumors deep in a patient's body by producing high energy
THE NEW CENTER will also have a cobalt treatment machine, Mansfield said, replacing two older machines in the existing facility. The treatment is used for superficial tumors.
The Med Center already is using the 6-million volt accelerator, purchased last year. It also has a new version of the
"I felt we couldn't wait for the new facility so we had it installed. It will be moved to the new building when it's finished," Mansfield said.
The new equipment will make treatments available that in the past have only been found in Houston's cancer treatment facility or the Mavo clinic, he said.
Since the facility is a referral center, Mansfield said it would draw patients from the area as well as other parts of the country.
"With this facility, trips to other facilities
won't be necessary," he said.

About 80 per cent of all cancer patients need radiation therapy at some time during their illness. The linear accelerators will improve that therapy, he said.
"This will be a major treatment facility in
Because of the special radiation equipment, two-thirds of the new facility will be built underground and will use the earth as a radiation shield. Concrete walls reinforced with steel bars also will be part of the shielding.
Mansfield said that it was not unassual for this type of facility to be built underground. A skylight will help to bring in natural light, be said.
"THEER WILL BE an opening at the end of the treatment room that will let sunlight in to make a brighter atmosphere for the patients," he said.
The cost of the equipment for the center will be about $2 million. The total cost of the equipment is about $2 million.
Mansfield said that the majority of funds for the center came from a state appropriation of between $1.8 billion and $2.5 billion to the federal government and private donations, he said.
The 6-million volt accelerator was bought with private donations.
Actual construction of the facility will begin Monday or Tuesday, Mainsfield said, following a preliminary meeting to decide where to set up construction equipment.
Groundbreaking ceremonies for the radiation center were held Wednesday. The center will be located on Rainbow Street between the Student Union and Supernet Chapel.
the scheduled completion of the facility is 1979.

Plans call for additions on the east and west sides of the existing Gymnastics Hall.
The three-level west addition will feature a new entrance to the building, a pool for outdoor recreation, and a covered deck.
A high base bid of $5 million was submitted by Winn-Senter Construction Co., Topeka.
Because all bids are within the $6.7 million allotted for construction of the additions by the Kansas Legislature last session, each firm's total package, including add alternates, will be examined before a decision is made. Lucas said.
