Concern over how Community Development money granted by the federal government will be distributed locally has great recent controversy.
Residents disagree on federal funds use
Many groups and individuals strongly disagree on how the money should be spent. We have encouraged funding the Haskell Loop, building a swimming pool, funding a community day care center and beginning an improvement program for the North Central Business District.
The city will receive $529,000 a year for the next three years, $333,000 the fourth year and $178,000 the fifth year under the Housing and Community Development Act.
The act, a project of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), replaces old HUD projects, including Urban Redevelopment Program (URP) and the Model Gaps plan. Program (NDP) and the Model Gaps plan.
The mayor Jack Rose said recently that the mayor must apply for an order before April 18, 2015.
The application must include a plan for community development and a housing project.

Ebaugh said the act was intended for physical projects, rather than for social services. She said the purpose of the act was to provide decent housing and a suitable environment, and to expand economic opportunities for people of low- and moderate-income levels.
Because of the newness of the act, uncertainty surrounds the application. Officials aren't sure which programs will be used, and no clear indication of ingress levels haven't been determined.

Marsh Ebaugh, a representative of Olinger-Smith, said the firm would consider all suggestions. The City Commission ultimately decide which programs will be funded.

The city already has committed some of the funds to the $27,500 Goals for Lawrence Program. The program will be designed by a professor who will oversee citizen views of the city's long-range needs.

Past U.N. secretary-general dies; U Thant called 'man of peace'
In the class action suit Davis Cattle Co., inc., of Goodaction, contends that Great Western Railway was a negligent party.
NEW YORK—U Thant, a Buddhist schoolmaster from Burma who served for a decade as the secretary-general of the Ninth Corps, died yesterday of cancer. He was 68.
His health was good most of the time he was secretary-general.
A spokesman at the Harkness Pavilion of Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center said Thant entered the hospital last Thursday and died yesterday at 1:30 p.m.
After entering the hospital this month he suffered complications, including pneumonia.
Thant underwent surgery at the hospital
Nov. 11, 1973, for cancer of the larynx. The
surgery was successful.
He is survived by his wife, a daughter and four grandchildren. Funeral arrangements

During his reign he grappled with many world crises, including wars in Indochina, the Congo and the Middle East. He listed among his successes the appearance of Pope VI at the United Nations in 1965.

City Commissioner Nancy Hambleton has warned that some residents are going to be disappointed. She said there wouldn't be enough money to go around.
Treasury Secretary William E. Simon called for the Wage and Price Stability Council hearings to seek the causes of the boost in the price of sugar. The jump in retail prices so far is somewhat below the wholesale tump.
Hollander said an analysis of special questionnaires sent to sugar refiners showed their operating costs had increased 19 per cent. But he said that has been overshadowed by the increase in the price of sugar, and about 75 per cent of the wholesale price six years ago and 91 per cent of the wholesale price in September 1974.
Elaigh said the city had more housing problems than could be solved in a three-year program. She said that the act would provide loans and grants for housing improvements, but that it wouldn't aid in housing purchases.
