Landlord Files Complaint On Shutoff of Electricity
By MARSHA SEARS Kansan Staff Writer
The Lawrence City Commission Tuesday heard a complaint from David Broyles, 1011 Indiana St., concerning a house he owns at 407 W. 138 St. the electric was cut off Friday.
Without a permit, Broyles had installed the house's wiring himself to avoid high electrical costs. The wiring has wrong color-coding and the wiring lacks main electrical disconnector.
The city notified Broyles last Wednesday that the electricity would be cut off by noon Friday and that electrical problems corrected by an electrical contractor. The violations were discovered during a building code inspection in a block area east of the KU building.
Although Broyles said these mistakes existed, he said he had been treated with respect to the five tenants living in the house. Thirty days instead of 44 hours should have been allowed to move on without mistakes, Broyles said. It would be impossible to get bids and contract a electrician within 44 days.
CITY MANAGER Buford Watson said that according to the city electrical code the normal condition when something was defective,
Other commissioners agreed with Hambleton and Mayor Bob Pulliam said most landlords didn't have the knowledge or practical experience in electrical work to wire the houses they own.
Broyles said that he would hire an electrical contractor to wire the house if he were allowed more time.
COMMISSIONER NANCY HAMBLETON said the city had an obligation to protect tenants' safety.
The commission suggested that Broyles study the city electrical code to determine which sections he thinks need to be changed. The commission agreed to look at future city commission meetings.
meter was removed from the house. He said that he was not with the inspector when the house was inspected and that he was not given a list of need electrical corrections. Bryles said he had been notified by the procedure of notification should be in the city electrical code.
In other business, the commission unanimously passed the first reading of Ordnance No. 4290, to include within the city
Bus Company Notes Increase in Business
By SCOTT EATON Kansan Staff Writer
Arguing that the public needs to be protected from the high cost of licensed labor, Broyles said the laws should be changed to allow landlords to do their own electrical wiring. The city electrical code does not allow a person to do electrical work on buildings except his own residence.
The increase in the number of fares the company takes in each week has proved the necessity of the expansion of the capacity of Kansas campus, Ogle said.
If the Student Senate extends the monetary support of the Lawton company, the original limit of March 17, the money the Senate had originally allotted for the company would increase in the continuation of service through the last day of classes, so the company paid the bus company, said Tuesday.
The allotment would probably cover the company's expenses even with the drop off in fairs on the holiday weather in the spring. Oral said.
Oda said that since the Student Senate decided to subsidize the bus ride for students, drop to 10 cents for campus runs. more many people were riding buses
OGLE PRESENTED figures the day before they taken some 80,343 fares from the period of Jan. 24 to Feb. 25, an average of about 16,670 fares.
Ogle said the number of fares the company had taken this semester had held the cost to the Student Senate down to about $5,000 a week. He said that was below what the Senate had budgeted.
Ogle compared the week of Jan. 24-28 to the week of Jan. 31. Feb. 4. The week of Jan. 24-28 saw
Ogle attributed the rise in the number of fares to the return of KU students to classes at the beginning of the spring semester.
2,179 fairs on the buses and cost them $30 a ride. The week Jan 14-31 Feb. 4, however saw a rise in fairs to 16,731. That week cost the Senate only $358.88.
DURING THE WEEK of Feb.
at low temperatures and some
snow, the bus company received
18.035 faws and the cost to the
bus system.
Ogle said the pleasant weather experienced by the Lawrence students was unusual, however, had caused the number of fairs for those two days to increase.
Ogle said there was also a possibility that the bus company would initiate a run past the Ridgeline and West Hills Apartments. He said that if it was possible to get back to Ridgeline run, the run would probably begin when classes resumed after spring break.
Ogle said he was also accusing the prince about the students to the company, said he had contacted his insurance company about him and with them the lowering of the minimum driver age in his policy from 28 to 21. He said lowering the minimum driving age for students to drive for the company, and would provide employment for many people.
AURH Passes Bill To Alter Fee Use
The AURH President's Council budget the present residence half social funds into a fund which would be named the resident
The final decision on the budget proposal is expected to be made today at a meeting of the Administrative Housing Committee.
According to Mike Sundermeyer, AURH president, the fund would be renamed because it would be used for cultural programs and operating expenses, as well as for social programs.
The amount which goes into the social fund, which each hall resident now pays as part of his overall dormitory fee, is $12.
Under the proposal, 56 cents of money should be given to each resident and the other $1.50 would be given on a per head basis to each resident. This $1.50 would be given to each resident.
If the proposal is accepted, AAV will receive only 30 cents per person from the administrative budget. Currently all of the AURH funds come from the AAV fund.
Sundermerley said the AURH eventually hopes to receive all of its funds directly from student funds through administrative channels.
Architect-Ecologist Soleri To Speak Here Tonight
This fall, the budget for the 1973-1974 school year will be reevaluated and hopefully this plan be adopted. Sundermeyer said.
Paolo Soleri, an architect who crosses ecology and architecture to get arcology, will speak at 7:30 p.m. in the Ballroom. His speech is sponsored by the SUA Featured Speakers Committee and the Visiting Lecture Series of Architecture and Urban Design.
In 1969, Design Quarterly quoted Soleri as saying, "Violence against nature is violence against man. Of all the tasks that concern architecture, the one of making an important cooperation with nature and in harmony with man is the most urgent."
THE COMMISSION unanimously adopted March 14 as the bid date for a $1,527,000 grant in general annual improvements.
According to Soleri, his plans reflect his love for nature. He said he wanted to build up rather

"They host life, work, education, culture, leisure and health. he said, "for hundreds of people per square mile."
limits 1.35 acres located north of the present city limits on North 2nd Street.
Soleri was born in Torino, Italy in 1819. He studied at the Academia Albertina and later at the Polytechnic of Torino where he doctorated in architecture in 1946 he came to the United States and studied under Frank Lloyd Wright for two years.
