Commission limits use of signs
Bv JILL DOLES
City Reporter
Adoption of a new sign ordinance and approval of hiring a consultant for a goals program highlighted the Lawrence City Commission meeting yesterday.
The new sign law, a controversial subject in recent city commission meetings, restricts the type of signs and prohibits flashing signs by theater operators had objected to the prohibition of flashing signs because new installations and now must be taken down.
Commissioner Barkley Clark said the requirements for signs on a single tract of land now were similar to the requirements for shopping center signs.
The ordinance was approved after several last minute revisions were made. A section requiring that real estate "for sale" signs be placed halfway back in a front yard was stricken. Such signs now are required to be on private property.
The commission authorized the Citizens Advice Bureau to hire a computer developer. The program
commissioners stipulated that the cost of the project must not exceed $27,800, and that much of the money must come from federal community development funds.
David Mansfield, acting assistant manager, said the city staff had been assured that at least 50 per cent of the project could be funded with federal money.
The California Plan for goals planning, which was proposed by Commissioner Nancy Hambleton last Thursday at a work session, was set aside.
"We're too far along." Hambleton said.
"We'd be settling back, the whole process."
A planned unit development for factory-
based equipment 1008 E. 19th, also was
approved by the Board of Directors.
The approval by the commission allows the developers of Country View Estates to put mobile homes on the eastern portion of the property, where they can be conventional housing on the western side.
The present mobile home park will be subdivided into 127 lots covering 49.45 acres of land. Tennis courts are planned in the development.
An ordinance that would double the cost of
parking tickets was deferred for another week. Manifests to prepare the ordinance.
The commission also deferred for two weeks action ateriorizing the city manager to seek legal warrants to inspect a house when construction has refused entry to housing inspectors.
An actor with the "Linda Lovelace for President" crew told the students about the movie, which is being filmed around Kansas City. He gave them the name and address of the movie's producer, and they went to audition.
The city has received a written complaint about one house from neighbors, and the occupant has refused entry to the housing inspector. The owner of the property hasn't sent a letter about the problem, according to George Williams, director of public works.
The students are Arvette Gumby, Grand Rivers, Mo., junior; Jacquetta Thomas, Shawnee Mission sophomore, and Michelle Maddox, Kansas City, Kan., junior.
Gumby and Thomas got small parts but missed their call on the day their scene was

None of them wants to be a movie star. Gumby said she wanted to be a singer, and getting a part in the movie could be a way of getting started.
The students have mixed emotions about working with the *stars* on a movie set. They are excited, sad and angry.
"Maybe because he's a star he doesn't know when to stop playing his role." Knowt of that.
Mayor Jack Rose said the city hadn't insisted on the right of entry in the past.

SPEAKS OUT
NIXON PARDON
When I learned of President Ford's pardon of Richard Nixon, I was surprised and disappointed. I immediately and publicly registered my disagreement. While I waited for the president's motives we were and compassionate, his action was neverless, premature.
The President's action may have prejudiced the fair administration of justice for the other Watergate principals. I am definitely opposed to the granting of pardons to those defendants, as well as further jeopardize our ability to learn the truth about the Watergate affairs. I agreed to co-sponsor a resolution to that effect.
The President has severely handicapped his own efforts to obtain public creditability by becoming a right of all Americans to learn the complete truth about voting. The right of blowing plow. President Ford should have allowed justice to its course. Assuming Mr. Kerry would have denied or innocence could have been finally established. If he had been judicial proceeding, any facts in the proceedings, any facts in the that leniency, in sentencing or in the form of a pardon, was justifiably right to the man's whole record.
When studying important legislation, I very much appreciate friends in the Third District. Please visit my office whenever you have an interest in a particular issue so that you have the benefit of your views.

Justice in its most noble sense is the synthesis of truth and compassion. The pardon is an act which compassion forecloses the Truth and for that reason I think is an unfortunate decision.

The commission authorized the city attorney to do research on the problem and explore the city's options when such a problem arises.
"We're seeing what our legal rights are," Clark said.
