Douglas County is making little progress on its plan to form an emergency preparedness board, Travis Brann, director of the county's Civil Defense Department, said yesterday.
Little progress made on board for emergencies
Brunn told the Douglas County commissioners that the proposal, which called for an emergency preparedness board with representatives from the county, Lawrence. Lawrence said the county, Durham, Davenport, had received a call at the Lawrence City Commission meeting Tuesday night.
Brann said the City Commission would not accept the proposal with the provision that two city commissioners represent Lawrence. Bran said the city commission must be able to substitute a city staff member for a city commissioner on the board.
The commission also decided yesterday to place a bicentennial bell, donated to the county by two local sculptors, in the rotunda of the Douglas County Courthouse.
Peter Whitenight, County Commission chairman, said he thought the rotunda would be the best place for the bell because it would be more accessible to the public.
Four possible locations, including the county commission meeting room, the lawn between the courthouse and the Judicial and Law Enforcement Building, and a balcony outside of the courthouse, were recommended for the bell.
My eyes are a weary red,
My jeans have worn a hole in behind (you can't see it by turning the page).
And my pocketbook is thin from inflated bills and too much party.
What will I do?
(a simulated picture)
I need a new pair of jeans (my bands are in my pocket to keep myself warm).
Think I'll dress over to Jeans for Beams,
where I can buy dark denim for just $10.25,
or a sweatshirt for only $5.50.
Police Beat
Jeans for Jeans sales quality clothing at a cheap price. Granted, the店 isn't fancy, (those guys won't even replace the carpet), but who cares?

Report calls Kansas taxes unfair
By TIM SHEEHY Staff Reporter
relationship between income and the percentage of taxes paid to state and local
The tax structure of Kansas is regressive. It inequitable a University of Kansas business school and a state group of state legislators gathered yesterday for the annual KU Institutes for tax planning.
In a report prepared for an interim committee on taxation and presented to the legislators at the Kansas Union, Darwin Daicoff, professor of economics, said that both state and local taxes placed a greater burden on those least able to nav.
In Diacoff's report, taxpayers were categorized according to their income and the percentage of income they paid in taxes.
FOR EXAMPLE, according to Diafoe's computations of the "effective tax rate," persons who earn under $3,000 annually pay 27 percent of their income in state and local taxes, while those earning $8,000-$9,990 pay 11.75 percent of their income.
According to Daicoff, there is an inverse
Also appearing with Daicoff before the legislators were members of the Special Committee on Assessment and Taxation. The committee has been studying the state of reissuing property across the state of remove inequities in the property tax.
If the committee decides a new assessment is a good idea and the Legislature agrees, re-evaluation would
probably begin next year and be completed in 1983.
DAIOCFF'S REPORT also concluded that rural areas bear the least burden of taxation in relation to population, but bear the larger burden in terms of income.
Diaffco told the legislators that many of the solutions for eliminating the high degree of regressivity and inequities would not be politically expedient.
"We have talked a lot about revising taxes and eliminating inequities in our tax system," Daicoff said. "Let's be realistic. In some cases, utilities in the state are five times their share of what they should. Are we going to give them a break?"
Daicoff told the legislators they might also look at other taxes.
Now comes Miller time.
