City hears apartment trash plan
By CAROL LUMAN
Every time he gets a roll of film developed, Andy Galaryd says, the result is two pictures of the kids and 27 prints of trash cans.
Galyard, a representative of Meadowbrook Apartments, uses the pictures to document his claim that trash can be placed in apartment houses in Lawrence's terrible
Galyardt and Jack Brand, attorney for the Lawrence Apartment Owners Association, appeared before city commissioners last night to request that the city allow the association to hire private trash haulers to collect trash at their apartments.
"Basically the problem is that trash pickup to apartments is untimely," Brand said yesterday. "It's sloppy and it's messy."
HE ASKED THAT the city make allowances in several city ordinances so apartment owners can contract with private trash collection agencies.
City ordinances that say trash collection can't be made by private agencies. To
The apartment owners also would have to make financial arrangements with the city to ensure their continued stability.
Although commissioners acknowledged that there is a problem with trash collection in the city, they said it wasn't limited to apartment houses.
allow trash at the apartment buildings to be picked up by anyone but the city sanitation department would require a change in or exception to these ordinances.
PROBLEMS IN the city sanitation department have been examined during the past several months, but commissioners said they hoped a recent change in the administration of the sanitation department would take care of most of these problems.
THE COMMISSION also discussed plans to remodel the city police-fire building at Seventh and Vermont streets for use as a city office building after the police district moves to its new headquarters at the county-county law enforcement building.
Because Don McLaughlin, the new sanitation department supervisor, has been on the job only a few weeks, the commission requires that he be on city sanitation services for 90 days.
Buford Watson, city manager, and George Williams, public works director, said that several methods for improving trash collection were being planned.
Both Angersinger and Clark expressed concern that the police-fire building couldn't easily be remodeled as an office building.
The building's inside, including the plumbing and the electrical system, would have to be completely remodeled to make it suitable for city offices, architects say.
The commissioners, led by Marnie Arngersinger and Barkley Clark, voted to ask the city staff to make a list of alternatives to remodeling the building.
In other business, a dispute was settled that began last spring.
The dispute concerned condemnation proceedings against a piece of property at 632 N. Seventh St., owned by Lawrence Allison.

Med Center . . .
In a small town, he said that a doctor could get to know his patients better, and that small-town people are more appreciative of the medical care they receive. He said that patients in the cities often appeared more skeptical of the care they
Ross, who was from Arkansas City (pop. 13,216), said he had already decided to work in a small community, although he hadn't decided on any particular town.
"JUST LIKE small-town life," he said. He said that even though doctors could train him to drive, he did so because they were trained in large medical centers and grew used to fancy equipment like brakes.
However, he said that there were modern labs near most small towns, and many of them had computers.
available by long-distance telephone calls. Ross said spouses, who might have career interests in the city, might also discourage rural practice.
HE SAID THAT DOCTORS would have to look at communities and choose one for themselves. Some things they look for in a town, he said, are other young people of similar education, access to college facilities and recreation areas.
Ross said the answer to attracting doctors to rural communities was to establish communication between students and communities.
Another resident, Joe Villalon, also has decided to practice in a small town, but he said he made that decision before he entered medical school.
Villalon he decided he wanted to go where he was needed most—a rural community.
"ITHINK MOST doctors get accustomed to large cities, and a lot specialize and have to stay in large cities to have enough of a patient load," he said.
Yesterday Allison offered to sell the lamb to the city for $27,500—a figure he had set several years ago when he offered to sell the property to the city.
The commission voted last spring to condemn the land after Allison refused to sell it. The land is to be used in a park development project in North Lawrence.
Villalon said that where a doctor practices often depends on where the doctor is resting.
Villanion is from a poor family in a town of about 6,500. Now he wants to work in a company that pays him better.
Like Ross, Villaon has had offers from many communities.
When all residents from the Med Center are released from their duties for Kansas Health Days, they will talk to community agencies and narrow their choices for practice.
A provision to the agreement was that Alison be allowed to remain on the property until it had been approved.
The commission unanimously agreed to Albania's proposal and the condemnation of Albania.

Land surveys to begin in Clinton road project
Field surveys and checks for Clinton Parkway will begin this month, Dean Sanderson, county engineer, said Friday. He said he will link Clinton Dam to K-10 at low St.
Finney and Turnipseed Consulting Engineers of Topeka, the project consultant, reported to Sanderson recently that an underground field was found. Field checks involve measurement of earths and bridges and inspection of all land involved in building the road.
After the field surveys are finished, blueprints are returned to the county engineer's office for an office check of the blueprint. The results are then drawn on the blueprints.
Before the field checks are made. plans
are sent to the federal and state highway commissions for their approval, Sanderson
The second phase of the project includes the office check and the awarding of the contract. Construction should begin next summer if the project is on schedule.
Highway officials will begin buying property for the Parkway as soon as the field and office checks are approved by the local official officials later this fall. Sanderson said.
