City approves bonds for new parking lot

The Lawrence City Commission voted 4-1 last night to approve the issuance of $10,000 in bonds. The money will be used to build a parking lot near the new city hall on Sixth Street, near the intersection.
The parking lot, which will have 30 spaces, will be built at 600 Massachusetts St, the site of the Fat City Toy Co., owned by Brian Anderson.
Anderson said that although he did not intend to keep his business in that building, he saw no reason to tear it down.
"That building is structurally sound. There are many ways it could be used," he said.
Mayor Barkley Clark said the lot was needed for parking spaces because of its proximity to the new city hall and the
riverfront beautification project. He said the additional parking was necessary because the projects were expected to draw many people downtown.
"I ideally it would be nice if we did not have to take down any building at all for anything." Clark said.
Mall developers will be skeptical of the city's commitment to build a downtown mall if the commission is reluctant to raise a single building for development. Clark said.
But, he said, if Lawrence were to continue to grow, it would be necessary for some buildings to be razed.
The city also approved a rate increase of 97 cents for Sunflower Cablevision. It was Sunflower's first increase since 1976.
Under the increase, which is to take effect Jan. 1, 1980, Sunflower's rates will be $**$ with tax included. The current rate is $6.75 plus tax.

COMP 60 Component Speaker System $130 Value SALE $99
A component system that captures all the clarity and full response like Quality Home Stereo Speakers.
Why four speakers? They are equipped to handle four speakers and most cars are too. Four-speaker systems put you in the center of the sound for true concert hall realism. Why special sized speaker adapters? We want you to get all the clarity of round speakers found in home systems, while using the oval mountedinds in most cars. Why Independent Woolers and Tweeters? High frequencies are very directional and hard to disperse before they get to your ears. High frequencies are front so you hear them before the car interior absorbs them. The low frequency woolers belong in the back where base sounds best.
