Power Flunked Storm's Tests

Powerless Lawrence residents had an opportunity to watch their ice cubes thaw by candlight as widespread electrical failure caused Monday night and Wednesday morning.
Several transmission and primary power lines were reported down by Austin Stedham, local manager for Kansas Power and Light Co. He said that about 3,000 to 3,500 customers had been affected by the two storms.
Relatively little damage and no injuries were reported.
Campus damage from Monday's storm was minor, although there were eight trees toppled, said Lee Ousdahl, assistant manager. Damage was no damage from Wednesday's storm.
The city, however, did not fare so well.
Numerous limbs cluttered the campus and a few broken windows were reported as clean-up began late Monday night after a bomb threat was more than the one that hit Lawrence June 16.
"you, however, did not fare so well." Altimore's arm is blunt. Minimal, estimates of damage to trees from Monday's storm could be as much as $150,000, according to the Parks and Recreation Department.
Power failure Monday forced the closure of the underpass at Second and Perry
One picnic shelter with a capacity for 30-60 people is under construction. The park grounds will be left in their natural state as much as possible.
Winding nature trails will be roughed out and later marked, and playground equipment for children and barbeque grills will dot the area.
A total of 10% of acres of land was donated to the park by William Wells, a private citizen.
Work on the park was started in early spring "after the rain stopped," Sanderson
The park will be three miles south and one-half mile east of the Lawrence city
A 27-foot observation tower will provine a view of "three to four counties on a clear day," he said. The elevation of the site, one half mile east of Shank Hill, is 1,050 feet, "higher than the Hill on campus, I think," Sanderson said.
Wells, who owns 156 acres of land in the area, donated the ground for a "regional outlook and wildlife-nature study type park," according to Sanderson.
Matching funds from the Federal and county governments will build the park. Any work not done by December 31, when the county express, must be paid for by the county.
Sanderson said that there was a possibility that the park would open by late fall, but that it would not be completed by then.

Lightning Caused Siren Failure
Lawrence warning sirens did not sound during Monday night's thunderstorm because of the failure of a lightning-struck power line near Burlington, Douglas County civil defense director.
A tornado warning was issued by the national Weather Service in Topeka, he said. The tornado swept through
A radio signal designed to activate the warning system was sent at approximately 10:50 a.m.

"I will bring before the county commission the possibility of an auxiliary transmitter, with an estimated cost of $1,500." Belote said.
Commission Studies Plan For Building
The Lawrence City Commission approved a plan for a joint resolution on the proposed city-county judicial building at its Tuesday meeting. The resolution will be prepared this week and the commissioners will act on it at their next meeting.

The county will act on the resolution Monday.
Federal Funds To Help Build Wildlife Park
The commission also discussed a letter by City Manager Buford Watson on the building, which would accommodate the Lawrence police department and municipal court. Room for city expansion would also be provided.
In his letter, Watson said the city would commit $500,000 of its revenue sharing funds to the project. The city also would agree to pay its "fair share" of the building operation after construction is completed, the letter said.
The city commission also approved an ordinance requiring that a commission hearing be held before any structure could be demolished.
Commissioner Jack Rose said that it was a commendable change and that there had been a few times when buildings had been damaged or broken, when the action wasn't really necessary.
Cark suggested the possible need for an auxiliary power system for the storm warning sirens in Lawrence. He suggested that police of siren trains for additional warming.
Commissioner Barkley Clark brought up three items in connection with the city's firefighting program.
Clark also said an investigation should be started concerning a tie-down ordinance for mobile homes. He said the city staff should be given more information problems faced by home mobile homes.
The commission agreed about the need for such a study.
The city staff will contact insurance companies, mobile home dealers and owners and other cities to establish the possible needs for a tie-down ordinance.
Clark also mentioned the possibility of installing utilities underground to prevent flooding.
In other action the commission approved amendments to allow any Douglas County resident to apply for a cereal milk beverage or for a milk beverage to be revoked or suspended for violations.
