Car wash line-up
After weeks of cold weather, yesterday's unseasonably warm temperatures was the perfect occasion for Art Worth of Lawrence to clean his car at the Raco Car Wash, 2828 Iowa St. Dozens of other people had similar ideas, forming long lines at the wash as yesterday's high reached the upper 40s.
City Commission gets waste report

The commission received the report from the 30-person task force that had been meeting since 1990.
Alan Eckymeur, president of Environmental Protection Resource Inc., said the committee set important goals for reducing household hazardous waste.
"The most important thing is to get people to understand what the hazards are and then to get them to avoid those items," he said. "People need to learn to use alternatives that don't harm the environment."
Patricia Marvin, Lawrence recycling coordinator, said people would be able to take hazardous items like household cleaners, solvents and pesticides to a facility in the Douglas County Public Works yard, at 23rd and Delaware streets, beginning about May 1.
"It's not a catch-all," she said. "It won't answer all the problems. People being educated about materials dangerous to the environment is our main focus."
The facility will recycle or repackage hazardous waste in a safer form, Marvin said. The facility also will ship off hazardous waste that cannot be recycled, complying with Environmental Protection Agency standards.
Marvin said the committee needed volunteers to assist in implementing the goals it had set.
Approved a resolution informing the Kansas Corporation Commission of a proposed ordinance that would allow the city to regulate the placement of electric lines on city right-of-ways.
Directed its staff to draft a letter to the Economic Development Council for comment on the city's tax abatement policy:
Approved an ordinance requiring the pretreatment of waste waters from industrial users.
