Farmers losing land to Kaw River erosion

Attempts by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers during the past quarter of a century to channel and dam the Kaw River have caused severe erosion of farmland adjacent to the river. Robert Nais, Douglas County,
Nets said the erosion has cost area farmers thousands of dollars in lost revenue.

Neis, one of 11 persons who own land in Weaver Bottoms, a 1,500 acre stretch of farmland adjacent to the river approximately two miles northeast of Eudora, said Wednesday that it is owned by Eudora and has taken over 90 acres of a neighboring farm.
"We all stand a chance of losing land," Neis said. "The river could cut right through here, isolating some farms as islands and flooding the rest. We could lose a whole lot at the rate it is going now."
NEIS SAID the river's banks must be strengthened to prevent further erosion. Without it, the Waver Botton dam could break.
"They've got to stabilize the banks—the river keeps washing them out," Neis said. "My farm goes right the river."
Robert Lotholzh, owner of the 80 acres now at the bank of the river, said he thought the erosion had cost him more than $100,000. The cost will increase if the erosion cannot be stopped, he said.
Neis said the dams along the river caused the greatest problems because water released from the dams sped melting and erosion.
A SPOKESMAN for the Kansas City District Corps of Engineers said yesterday, however, that water released from the dams would cause no more erosion than the river itself caused before the dams were constructed.
"The Corps of Engineers will not build a project that will cause problems downstream," the spokesman said.
The spokesman said the Corps of Engineers was working on an experimental project upstream from Eudora to the city's waterfront.
Neis said he was in Washington, D.C., last week and talked with Congressman Larry Winn, R-Kam, about Weaver Bottons' erosion problem. He said Winn was trying to arrange a meeting for next week between the Corps and Weaver Bottons farmers, but the Corps spokesman said Winn had not contacted them.
NEIS SAID the farmers wanted the Corps to stop the erosion.
"We're trying to get them to come in and stop it," he said. "I'm not even care about any relief money — we're asking just a little bit more."
Med Center to get biweekly paychecks
By JAKE THOMPSON
Staff Reporter
In a little more than a year, the University of Michigan medical center will be the only state joint employee every two weeks. Mike Keeleb, controller for the Med Center, said
University of Kansas officials and state accountants held their first organizational meeting yesterday in order to change the employee payment program.
The 1,400 Med Center employees are scheduled to switch from twice a month payment, on the first and the 15th of each year, only payday by Jan. 1, 1979, Keeble said.
Keeble said the change would increase the number of time employees were paid from 24 to 26 times a year.
"We feel that most employees at Mei Center would prefer greater frequency of payment," he said. "The
principal benefits would be for the employees. They would be paid on a regular day and in a more level amount."
Kevin Nichter, director of KU's office of business affairs, said the payment program would affect all employees.
HE SAID the gross salary would not be affected by the changes.
He said the administration was considering a similar change in the payment program on the Lawrence campus, but it would not be done immediately.
"There is authorization in the University statutes for development of that payment program," Nitcher said. "It makes a great sense on the Lawrence campus."
"The advantage to the employees would be that they would know exactly how much they would receive."
Keeble said the decision on which weekday to make payday was still being discussed.
