Fire put out in spite of bad weather
A fire yesterday morning caused damage estimated at $20,000 to a television repair shop at 901 E. 23rd St. a Lawrence Fire Department official
The fire was out within 10 minutes after the trucks arrived on the scene at
Three fire stations responded to the call with one mini-pumper truck, two pumper trucks and one ladder truck, he said.
Larry McMechan, who repaired televisions in the building, was not in the building at the time of the blaze, Fire Chief Jim McSwain said.
HE SAID THE fire probably had
started around the chimney of a homemade woodburning stove. The chimney probably had been installed too close to rafters in the ceiling, he
The roof was a total loss, he said, and many items inside the building were missing.
He said the walls of the one-story concrete block building had not been built.
McMechan rented the building from Albert Smith, Myer said.
MCSWAIN SAID that, although it was difficult to fight fires when the weather was as bad as it was, the heavy
snow and high winds had not greatly hampered the firefighters.
"Firefighters had to drag their hoses through two and three foot drifts," he said.
Because of the bad weather, the fire department has assigned two four-wheel-drive mini-pumpers, usually used to fight grass and brush fires, to full-time service, he said.
Just getting to a fire, especially over Lawrence hills, can be difficult in snow weather, McMain said. Drivers often do not move to the side of the road to let trucks pass because they fear getting stuck, he said.

City to expand parking limits
By NED STAFFORD Staff Reporter
The commission said the ordinance should allow passenger cars and small trucks to be parked on city streets up to seven days without being towed. Under current law, cars that have been parked on streets for more than 48 hours without being moved may be towed.
The Lawrence City Commission last night directed the city staff to draw up an ordinance that would make life easier for car owners who have no
The ordinance would exclude campers and commercial vehicles.
THE TASK FORCE, which the commission has informally agreed to authorize, is to study whether the company should instead be regulated by the Kansas Corporation Commission. The company now has a 20-year franchise agreement with the city that expires in 1984.
The commission had originally intended to establish a special permit system that would have allowed residents of a part of the Oread area to live on the area's streets for more than 48 hours, but not for more than 30 days.
The commission deferred until next week discussion of establishing a task force to study the effects of rising heating costs on Lawrence residents and effectiveness of programs to help those who have trouble playing utility bills.
TIM MILLER, 936 Ohio St., said that the $24 yearly cost for the permits would be prohibitive and that he thought it would be unfair to charge people just to park.
But Commissioner Don Binns said that $2 a month was not too much to pay for parking and that lowering the fee would not solve the problem of inadequate parking in the Oread district, which has a high student population.
The commission will take further action on the ordinance later, possibly
The task force will also study what rights the city has in establishing rates for natural gas. Lawrence now receives training and certification from the Service Co, which serves only Lawrence.

after its members have been appointed by the commission, is to report its findings.
in other action, the commission approved issuing of $2.5 million in industrial revenue bonds for Quaker Oats Co., 727 N. Iowa St.

The commission considered a Lifetime plan earlier this winter that would have allowed reduced gas rates for qualified individuals, but rejected it after a public outcry and questions concerning its legality arose.
The bonds would be used to replace and add to existing equipment.
SHERRY SCHAUB, plant manager, said that the improvements to the plant would add 12 permanent jobs at the Quaker plant and about 40 jobs outside contractors during the three- to four-month construction period.
Commissioner Barkley Clark concluded the meeting by asking that his prose on John Riggs, fullback for the Super Bowl Champion Washington Redskins and former KU football player be put in the minutes of the meeting.
