Silver outshining gold on market
Bv JENNIFER HOLT
Staff Reporter
Gold is not the only game in town these days. Americans in record number are building and maintaining muddies such as jewels, land, houses and, increasingly, silver, according to several sources.
Today the face value of $1,000 in pre-1965 quarters and dimes still is equal to what it would be if there were no drastic increases in the price of silver, the silver content of those coins now is worth $10,000 to $13,000, according to Howard Sacks and Antiques, 731 New Hampshire SH.
Before 1965, dimes, quarters and half dollars were 90 percent silver. Because of a worldwide shortage that year, silver was reduced from 90 percent to 40 percent in half dollars. Today the value of the silver in U.S. coins is deltated down than the face value of the coin.
In 1940, silver cost $1 an ounce and a year ago the price was between $7 and $8 an ounce. Today an ounce of silver is worth $17.
THIS INCREASE IN price has brought about a realization in international investment circles—all that glitters is not gold; it could just as well be silver.
A year ago silver was traded on the New York Commodities Exchange for about $7 an ounce and the silver content in $1,000 coins was worth $4.275. Monday at the close of trading, that same silver sold for $1.757 and $1.000, that same gold sold for $3.400 for $12.600.
In fact, in the last year the value of the silver coins has almost tripped, while the price of gold, which has received the most publicity, has only doubled.
ounce in the past few months to as high as $447, silver increased proportionally, Boyd said.
As gold increased in value from $250 an
So why are people raving about gold when silver prices have skyrocketed?
ACCORDING TO Boyd, gold is a metal with charisma and romance, comparable to diamonds, while silver is just silver.
Bord, who has been in the coin business for more than a decade, is the best people talk about gold, the rise in value of silver—particularly in the past month—and made them more aware of silver's potential for growth.
"People are realizing the value of old coins," he said. "If they don't cash them in for money, they hold on to them in case the price goes higher."
In 1967 there was a tremendous increase in the price of silver, Boyd said. He bought

Solbach plans to push for self-help tenant bill
By TONI WOOD
It's the familiar struggle between landlord and tenant that is the No. 1 problem dealt with by the Consumer Affairs department of the State and the Associated Students of Kansas.
Staff Reporter
Drops of water fall incessantly from a broken pipe into a bucket of water. Soon the bucket will be emptied by an irritated gas was lived with the drip for several days.
The student has called his landlord about the leak, but the landlord's regular plumber is too busy to fix the broken pipe.
Last year, ASK requested that Solbach sponsor a bill to revise part of the landlord-Tenant Act.
Rep. John Solbach, D-Lawrence, will keep trying to deal with the problem during the 1980 legislative session.
SOLBACH INTRODUCED a bill during the 1970 legislative session that is still in the House Judiciary Committee.
Solbach's proposal is sometimes referred
UNDER CURRENT LAW, if the landlord does not repair something as required by the rental agreement or by state laws, the landlord may give it to the landlord after he has given the landlord 30 days notice, or be can make the repairs himself and to try to collect money by suing the landlord.
"The tenant can call his landlord and say, "This is the problem. You need to repair that." In most cases, the landlord will comply. But in some, the problem would be taken care of soon enough."
to as the "self-help" bill because it would allow tenants to make their own repairs after giving landlords seven days notice.
Clyde Chapman, administrative coordinator for the local Consumer Affairs department, said he problems for a couple of months. And any number of fairly serious things could occur.
current legal methods for tenants were not clearly defined.
Laurence M. Rose, an associate professor of law who works with Legal Aid, said
ROBERT BINGAMAN, executive director of ASK, said. "As long as there are landlords, and as long as there are students, it a problem we have to deal with."
"The Landlord-Tenant Act is five years old and it needs to be refined," he said. "It should clearly spell out the responsibilities of landlords and tenants."
Members of ASK have lobbed in the Legislature to revise the act during the last several years.
Sobach's bill, House bill 2550, would allow tenants to make their own repairs after landlords were given sufficient notice.
The tenant would take a receipt for the payment and money for a month's rent to the district court. The district court would be set up. An escrow account would allow a third party to control the transaction.
The landlord would have a chance to contest the repair, but if he did not, the cost of the repairs would be subtracted from the
rent, and the remainder of the payment would be sent to the landlord.
SOLBACH SAID that under the current system, tenants who made repairs and then sued landlords in a small case court were not guaranteed of being reimbursed.
"They may get the judgment, but that doesn't mean the money is collected," he said.
Solbach said the system only would tie up the money long enough to cause the landlord and tenant to take action.
See LANDLORD page five
"The escrow account takes money out of both pockets, he said. "It's not a good situation. It's one that both parties want to settle.
Solbach said his bill would clarify solutions for tenants and protect landlords because a tenant could no longer make an unjustifiable repair.
"People say there was a delicate balance adopted in the Landlord-Tenant Act. But the current law is tipped very much in favor of landlords."
