County tax bills to be mailed late
Ruth Veryvnyk, county treasurer, said the individual tax bills were late in being prepared by the county data processing department.
Douglas County taxpayers probably will receive their tax bills in the mail about two weeks later than usual this year, the Douglas County treasurer said yesterday.
"Last year," Verrynck said, "we received the bills from data processing on Oct. 11, and we got the bills stuffed and mailed by Nov. 1."
In addition, she said, the treasurer's office will be moving back into the remodeled county courthouse at the end of the month. She said the move was coming during one of the busiest times of year for the treasurer's department.
THIS YEAR, Veryvynk's office probably
will not receive the bills until about Oct. 26.
Records in the budget department show that there were 56,423 separate tax billings last year that had to be handled by the treasurer's office.
Verrynck said that she expected more than 60,000 bills this year.
Verynck said it would take her office until the middle of November before the bank closes.
She said stuffing the bills entitled placing three computer billing cards into pre-addressed envelopes along with a copy of the Kansas Homestead Act,

AURH requests money
Mary Meyers, AURH treasure, said the money would be spent on a program for academic aids for students living in residence and scholarship halls.
The Association of University Residence Halls has requested $1,578 in additional funding from the Student Budget that will not anticipated in its budget for this year.
"We want to initiate this program this year because we know it'll be a service for people living in residence halls, especially freshmen," he said.
The program will include workshops on efficient use of study time and career planning and several courses on increasing reading speed.
If the Senate approves the request Meyers said, part of the funding would be used for educational trips to the Nelson School District (City, Mo., and the state capital in Topeka.
He said he was confident that the Senate would approve the request for additional funding, even though AURH had not found it necessary in past years to request funding outside of its own budget.
"AUHR HAS always had a large budget, but I don't think we have the money necessary for this project, unless Meyers asks us." Meyers said. "I don't see any reason why we can approach the Senate. We're just at a very low organization on this campus.
Approximately one-fifth of the student body lives in residence or scholarship halls. Mewers said.
Meyers will present the AURH proposal to the Senate on Oct. 18.
"If I understand the purpose of the Student Senate right, I don't think they can deny our request."
