The city's share of the project's cost has been estimated at $18 million.
IF LAWRENCE RESIDENTS were to vote against the use of general obligation bonds, Palos said, the city would either have to

paving for that part of the proposal.
Another way to pay for the proposed project would be a voluntary, self-supported benefit package.
That plan would tax downtown property owners, in order to pay for part of the project.

Allen Loyd, city analyst, said that if benefit
Commissioner Ernest Angino said at Tuesday's commission meeting that if the downtown property owners voted to oppose a proposed district, he would vote to discontinue development.
Angino supports the project along with commissioners Howard Hill and Nancy Shontz. Without Angino's support, the project could be discontinued.
Longhurst and Amyx voted to discontinue the project earlier this month.
SHONTZ, HOWEVER, said that if the city were unable to help finance the project with a self-supported benefit district, it should look for some other way to do so.
Palos said that it was possible for the city to find a means of financing the project that would not require the general public to be taxed and therefore would not require voter approval.
He said that an example of such a situation would be if the city could make it attractive for
private investors to finance downtown redevelopment.
Longhurst, however, said he doubted that such a plan could be found
"I can't see this project being implemented without significant public expense" he said.
Longhurst also said that he and one members of the commission would not let the downtown project begin without some kind of indication that the public wanted it.
"People will have the opportunity to vote," Longhurst said.

"After about a month I figured it out," he said.
HOLDEN SAID THAT he and Dolezal figured out what hardware they needed to connect the computer with small motors that positioned the camera and subject.
Holden said they made a proposal to the company and it was accepted.
Holden has received no money for his work but does retain the design rights for the system and is applying for a copyright for the computer program.
Fourteen episodes were produced for the series, titled "Reading Rainbow," which PBS designed to teach youngsters to enjoy reading, he said. Actor LeVar Burton serves as host of the series, and the stories are narrated by notables such as Bill Cosby and James Earl Jones.
The first big test for the system came when Centron contracted to produce animated versions of well-known children's books for the Public Broadcasting System, Holden said.

"THE COMPUTER ALLOWED Centro to take on this huge animation project by making it cost-justifiable," Holden said. "Without the animation computer, Centrob probably would
"If they filmed the animated series manually without my computer system, it would have taken up to twice as long to film and it would not have been finished in time." Holden said.
Holden said he has formed a company to sell his invention nationally while also setting his thoughts more on working with big-time film production in the future.
"I am now more interested in pursuing a career, he said. "I might break away and head
Coordinator sought for mental health
Watkins Memorial Hospital is seeking a psychiatrist to fill the position of mental health services coordinator, a hospital administrator said yesterday.
Jim Strobil, acting director of the hospital,
said, however, that the new coordinator probably would not take over until the spring semester.
"We're advertising in professional journals. That's why the deadline is so far off because it takes until mid-August for the ads to get in," he said.
Watkins will advertise in national psychiatric journals to draw applicants, Strobl said. The deadline for applications is Nov. 1.
Strobl said that a screening committee would pare the list of applicants to three. These psychiatrists would then be invited for an on-campus interview.
The screening and affirmative action procedures probably will be completed at the end of the year.
"Based on that, we'll have the person here in mid-January when school starts rolling in."
He said that the position of psychiatrist opened when Sidney Schroeeder, coordinator for the Mental Health Services, retired July 1.
Dean Kerkman, a psychologist at the ser-
vice of the firm, said in a new pa-
ychiatrist is hired. Srobi said.
