The residence was dark and there was no response from inside, police reported. When police received a call from the police, they went back to Ziegler's residence.
Computer cartographer to map city
The city planning office is developing a computer data base that could make the process of city planning easier and more efficient.

The office has used the system on projects such as the analysis of development in Douglas County by inputting data into a computerized issues issued during the past 20 years, Guntert said. It helped the office see patterns of development across the county.
The system was purchased in 1986, Gunter said. It stores maps based on aerial photographs.
The improvement project will integrate more types of geographical information, such as population, transportation, and communication.
Dave Guntert, Lawrence city planner, said the $40,000 improvement to the office's Geographical Information System (GIS) will cost $1.2 million.
Currently, information about properties in the city appraisal office's maps cannot be applied to other projects because the maps were not made by computers and are not compatible with the system, he said.
Guntert said the system would allow the office to make

more development plans than before. The office will be better able to forecast the effects of development.
Before the office introduced the system, graphic technicians took hours to draw maps, but the system produces maps in less than 30 minutes once all the information has been input into the computer. Guntert said.
Also, the office will be able to create maps with details such as the pavement of streets, conditions of sidewalks and other features.
"The project is to see what impact the development may have in the location," he said.
"We are building graphic files at this point," he said. Robert Wisman, professor of geography, has advised Giorgio Bianchi on the project.
The system can be applied in a number of ways, such as in establishing better patrolling patterns for Lawrence police by analyzing information in the system shelters where crime and traffic incidents occur.

Finney, a Democrat, met with Senate Republican Leader Bob Dole and Rep. Pat Roberts, a Dodge City Republican.
WASHINGTON — In a meeting that resembled a political reunion, Gov.elect Joan Finney and Republican lawmakers pledged yesterday to work in a bipartisan manner on Kansas issues.
"We have a mutual interest, of course, in the state, and we have some long time ties, said Pinney. We were both politicalicals when she switched parties and was

"We all know, because we've been in this business for many years, that once elected you serve the people," Finney said. "We will work with the team in the same direction and have the same concerns about the state."
"I don't think the people in our state really care about playing political games. The election is over. They want us to work together." Dole said after the meeting in his Senate leadership office in the U.S. Capitol.
Democrats lose 1 seat but keep lead in House

Current events weren't the only topic of conversation, though. The three Kansans reminisced about their dealings with the late Frank Carlson, a Republican who served as congressman, governor and senator.

TOPEKA — Democrats clung to the slimmost possible majority in the state House of Representatives after a vote that only changed the outcome of one race.
Recounting of votes in several House races ended yesterday, and several others were canceled before they were finished.
In the 59th District, recounts in Lyon and Osage counties showed State Rep. Elaine Wells, R-Carbon-dale, as the winner by two votes. Initial counts after the Nov. 6 poll had her losing by six votes. The
However, Democrats kept their apparent hold on a House majority for only the third time this century. They lost in 2014 but won 63 of the House's 125 seats.
Democratic candidate was Karlen Christesen-Wellman of Osage City.
Wells won her first term in 1988 after a recount. She switched her party affiliation earlier this year, making her a target for Democrats. According to county officials, she was the only candidate toChristeneb Wellman's 3.474.
In other recoubts, State Rep. Fred Gatlin, R-Atwood, increased his margin over William Kirk of Clayton for the 120th District seat. Gatlin had taken the 4,986 votes he received and the recount showed he received 4,096 votes to 4,067. a 31-vote margin.
The Democrats won control of the House in 1976 and in 1912.
Sixteen House races — half of them won by Democrats — were decided by fewer than 150 votes.
In Johnson County's 15th District, the recount verified the original result, with Democrat Ruth Ann Hackler defeating her Republican opponent, John M. Topiklar of Olathe by a scant four votes — 2,255 to 2,251.
