Lawrence City Commission grants special assessments
By JENNIFER LISTON Staff Reporter
The Lawrence City Commission last night approved special assessments for two land owners in the Edmonds estate Terrace in West Lawrence.
Charles Borgen, 1109 Crestline Drive, and Richard Cromwell, who owns a lot at Crestline and Westside streets, will each pay only half of the rent for each lot for street paving, sidewalks and sewers along the new street.
Borgen complained that his driveway was not on the new street and he would not use the street.
Cromwell said that his lot could not be used for a home site because a landfill made the ground unsteady. He said that he wanted to sell the property and that a high assessment would make the lot impossible to sell.
Commissioners also promised to look into complaints by a woman

who said her tap water was too rusty to use.
"You guys pay the same for water that we pay for this." Hoover said.
Hoover said that her water hung

of the time.
Mike Wilden, assistant city manager, said that some old galvanized metal pipe along 13th Street would be replaced with pipe and some water lines would be cleaned to eliminate the problem.
The commissioners discussed bids received for a new patrol car for the Alcohol Safety Action Project, a federally funded program to stop drunken drivers. The project is run by the Alcohol and Drug Prevention Commission. Commissioners voted to ask the city manager for comparisons of the two lowest-priced cars.

Douglas County man finds $30,000
By ROB McNEELY Staff Reporter
A Douglas County man found buried treasure last month when he "stumbled across" a container holding $30,000 in coins in southern Douglas County.
Sheriff Rex Johnson gave a sketcht outline of the discovery yesterday. He refused to answer specific questions about the man's identity, where and when the money was found or the denominations of the coins.
Johnson said that because the man could face threats and burglaries if he was identified, he would not release details about the incident.
The man was "in his line of work" when he met the "stumblebags across" last month.
Johnson said the man informed his supervisor of the discovery, and the supervisor recommended that the sheriff he contacted
ACCORDING TO JOHNSON, the man contacted him and told him of his find. Johnson then alerted the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. The KBI agencies to see whether any coin thefts had been reported recently, he said.
He said none of the agencies reported any recent thefts.
Johnson said the man who discovered the coins told him that, based on the evidence, he was in possession of some.
Johnson could not say for certain why $30,000 in coins would be hidden in rural Douglas County, but did say foul play was suspected.

He said the finder had been 'emm, cooperative with authorities' in trying to retrieve the clues of yesterday, however, no one had reported the coins missing or stolen.
He would not say whether he meant that the coins were out of circulation or that they recently were minted and had never been circulated.
Anyone who knows anything about the coins or who wants to claim them should contact the Douglas County Sheriff's Office and ask for law enforcement agency, Johnson said.
IF NO ONE CLAIMS and identifies the coins, Johnson said, a court will
Johnson told of a case in March of 1974 in which a man bought a farming man andasant Grove, and as he moved it, discovered a container holding $20,000.
