Oklahoma Firm to Build City Disposal Plant
Page 5
The Utilities and Engineering Construction company of Oklahoma City, with a low bid of $522,188, yesterday was awarded the contract to build Lawrence's million-dollar sewage treatment plant.
The Oklahoma firm's bid and an alternate bid of $547,548 were selected from seven bids submitted to the City commission. The alternate bid was taken in case of additional costs. The Lawrence city engineer's estimate was $698,120.
The water-sewage disposal plant project is one of the largest of 10 projects included in the city's $3 million - water - sewage expansion program.
The contract calls for the plant to be built in 450 calendar days. No starting date for the project has been set and City Manager Jim Wigglesworth said yesterday that the firm was waiting for better weather to begin work.
Including seven buildings, the plant will be built on a 31-acre tract about a block from the city limits south of Eighth street. A 40 by 52 foot brick building which will house plant offices in one story above the ground and six water pumps in three stories underground will be the main structure.
The water-sewage program was first proposed by city officials several years ago when the Kansas State Board of Health adopted a policy requiring all Kansas cities to provide adequate treatment of sewage before discharging it into river waters.

Evans 'Richard' To Be Shown
"Richard II," an NBC film starring Maurice Evans, will be shown from 4 to 6 p.m. and 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Feb. 24 in Strong auditorium. No admission will be charged for the two-hour film.
The plot of "Richard II" has a double interest. Richard is forced to abdicate the throne and Shakespeare shows how this abdication resulted in rebellion and civil war.
The play studies a king who is personally very charming, poetic, impulsive and dramatic, but who is indecisive and weak at critical moments. Like Charles I he thought too much of the rights of a king and too little of his obligations. In the play Shakespeare develops Richard's character with great finesse yet he shows how his weakness injures both himself and his kingdom.

Takes His Soccer Seriously
Link to Fieldhouse Waits on Weather
The "missing link" between the stadium and fieldhouse-designed to provide communications facilities—will be installed as soon as weather permits, C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds reports.
The link will be a four-duct underground tube, to be installed from the stadium to the Hill near the new men's dormitory, where it will be joined with underground cables already in place.
The duct will house all communication facilities between the two athletic plants. It will include telephone lines, television and radio cables, and perhaps in the future a coaxial cable. All construction and installation of the duct will be by the buildings and grounds department.
The duct will be 9x9 inches and made of tile. It will be set in a tunnel five feet deep and encased in four inches of concrete. A man-hole will be installed every 300 feet to facilitate the splicing of wires and cables.

The reason a hippopotamus spends so much time in water is to rest his weary legs. He's so heavy that he can't stand on dry land long without getting exhausted. In water his body half floats and his legs get a rest.
