City to upgrade existing park
More than 100 people crowded into the Lawrence city commission room and stood outside in the hall last night to support upgrading an existing park instead of establishing a new one.
In a 3-2 decision, the commission decided to use money left in the city by Myra B. Hobbs for the improvement of a bridge over the river.
The East Lawrence Improvement Association had supported upgrading the three-acre park at 100d and Delaware. A spokesman for the group, Tom Averill, 1224 Brownsville Road, said that it was a buffer on an industrial area and a housing
Marnie Argersinger, city commissioner, and Donald Binns, mayor, said they spending money on the park because it was next to the Stockley Van Camp factory. However, Jack Rose, city commissioner, said, "We built a parking lot here and we're proving the park. It's not an ideal site, but it is as good as any. I don't think anything new is going to come up."
Argersinger said Hobbs' will had directly directed that land be purchased for a park. The will states that the money cannot be used for anything else unless at least four commissioners approve.
Because the city already owns the park at 10th and Delaware, the commissioners said, they will wait for an agreement from the city.
In another 3-2 decision, the commission upheld a city ordinance that calls for the elimination of all billboards in urban areas.
Tom Martin, president of Martine Outdoor, a sign company based in California with billboards in Lawrence, MA. (Brantley)
Rose and Barkley Clark, city commissioner, had suggested that the commission compromise to prevent a long and costly court fight. They suggested that the city should invest in new courts and that Martin Outdoor add three billboards
elsewhere in the city in exchange for removing the billboards from the downtown area.
Martin said he was willing to compromise but thought the city ordinance banning all billboards was unconstitutional.
In other business, the commission approved an additional $75,000 to help the Lawrence Unified School District 497 build an indoor swimming pool. The commission has already even the district $100,000 for the pool.
Under federal law, the city and the federal government must compensate the owner for each sign he removes. The city must pay 25 percent of the cost of the sign and the federal government must pay 75 percent.
The commission deferred until next week any action on a request to revoke the cereal malt beverage license of Uncle Mily's, 2246 Barker, a tavern near Haskell Indian Junior College. Officials from the college and neighborhood said the license was in violation of a city liquor ordinance and a zoning ordinance.

Charges dismissed in HEW investigation
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes said yesterday that he had received a letter from Taylor August, regional office director for the University of Texas Medical Center, filed by Rebecca Burke, had been dropped.
The charges led to an investigation by HEW in KU athletic care and treatment programs, including staffing budgets and job descriptions.
cerning two other complaints filed last year with HEW that alleged discrimination between the KU men's and women's athletics programs in coaches' salaries, team funding cuts, facilities, training, scholarships and travel funds.
William Hogan, associate executive vice chancellor in charge of women's athletics, said an assistant trainer and a student trainer had been added to the women's training staff. The women's trainer's salary also was increased to $11,400 a year, he said.
Charges filed by a former KU women's athletics trainer citing alleged discrepancies between the KU men's and women's athletics programs have been dismissed by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare.
Marian Washington, women's athletics director, said last night that she had not seen a copy of the report. She said it was wrong to believe that the charges would have been dropped.
Reports have not been released con-
Bomen's training facilities, scheduled to be completed July 1, 1978, should be finished the following year.
KU was to be compiled by July 1, 1978, with Title IX of the Education Amendment Act of 1972, which states that equal athletic for both sexes must be provided.
An institution risks losing federal grants if it does not comply with Title IX provisions.
