ANNEXATION:
Students Must Be Concerned About A Growing Lawrence You Have Got A Stake In Its Future THINK ABOUT IT:
1. All permanent residents of Lawrence, using Lawrence facilities, should be paying equal city taxes. The residents of Wells and Miller Acres have not been paying their fair share of taxes.
2. Kansas Power and Light should pay Lawrence city taxes since much of its revenue comes from Lawrence.
4. The City Commission will fight any action by Kansas Power and Light to charge an increased electricity rate only to Lawrence residents. The precedent has been set by the power generating plant inside Wichita city limits.
3. A raise in the electricity rate would be more than compensated by the lowering of both personal and property taxes.
5. Taxes will be lowered approximately $6.00 per $1000.00 assessed valuation. Spreading out taxes among all people serviced will lower them for everyone.
6. Lawrence must be permitted to expand industrially if it is to survive.
7. This industrial expansion must be done in an orderly, controlled manner if Lawrence is to benefit from it. Unorganized expansion can only cost the taxpayer more dollars.
8. More jobs will be available to students, as well as Lawrence taxpayers, if new industry is encouraged to enter Lawrence.
