Postal rise requested WASHINGTON - Postmaster General Benjamin Bailar asked yesterday for a doubling of the $1 billion annual subsidy paid by taxpayers to the U.S. Postal He said in an address to the National Postal Forum that such a hike would be必要 because of the high costs associated with thorny roofs, "of those which encumber the users of the mail cannot reliably be delivered." Without the subsidy, "is said, maintaining rates "at a level that both business and individual "titizens can afford," will be impossible. Baler said he already had $270,000 in stock to put the price of a first-class stamp at 13 cents.

The Lawrence City Commission decided yesterday to accept a proposal asking the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) for 100 building units for homes for the elderly. Kyle Andregg, community development manager, made the request for the units at a conference. ANDREGG SAID that a former plan requesting the housing for the elderly had been accepted by the FHA but that local housing authorities hadn't found it feasible because the housing was to be subsidized by the federal government. City accepts proposal The new proposal also will request 100 units of unipersonalized general housing. Mayer Barkley Clark said the housing for the elderly would be similar to Babcock and he had even said the commission should act quickly upon the plan because Babcock had a long waiting list. The proposal for the housing would be Babcock's regular meeting one week from today. EARLIER YESTERDAY Andregg confirmed the four parties were interested in signing the deal. Those four include three private developers and the Lawrence Housing Authority (LHA). Under the Housing and Community Development program or public agency may build the housing project, with the rents subsidized by the federal government. Doris Kaiser, LHA director, said that a higher income limit had been placed on Babcock. This means that many people who have been turned away because of their higher incomes, would be eligible for the new housing project, she said. He said the city hoped the new project would take care of some of the overflow flow. She said the LHA board would review a proposal for the project Sept. 17, and the application would be filed with HUD Sept. 29 Dungo said he was awaiting word from HUD on what action needed to be taken to complete applications for the subsidy. He said the city would have to change its Housing Assistance Plan, filed last year as part of its application for Housing and Community Development Act funds. The change in the plan will include adding updated census figures to reflect the need for housing projects, especially for the elderly. Andregg said he still needed to determine what action HUD would require from the city in changing the assistance plan and making the application. Officials review city sewer plan The Lawrence City Commission and city officials yesterday reviewed the city's storm sewer development policy at a special study session. In a memo to the city commission dated Aug. 15, City Manager Buford Watson said the city should reduce its participation in the development of storm sewers. He suggested that the city designate drainage courses of citywide importance and participate in storm sewers in those drainage courses only. The designation of important drainage courses should be determined by the commission, be said. These courses would only to established city developments. Watson said the city shouldn't be responsible for building closed sewers on new developments. But the city might be responsible for paying the necessary amount to build closed storm sewers in old areas, he said. His suggested negotiation with local planners will decide how much the city should pay for a closed storm sewer in an old area.
