Second computer ordered for county recordkeeping
cure ils to
SLA
The memory in Douglas County's record-keeping computer will be full by late 1980, but a new computer that processes information on the capacity should be available by then.
The current computer stores records for Lawrence, Douglas County and the Lawrence Unified School District. The computer's user is overseen by a three-member Computer Services Association team. Representatives from each of the three groups.
The Computer Services Association signed a letter of intent yesterday with the IBM Corporation that will guarantee that the new computer will be available to the
association in a year and a half. However, the order can be set back or canceled by the association up to one day before the computer arrives.
The association's action came just before a deadline, set by IBM, to allow the association to get the computer within the year and a half.
Bob Neise, county commissioner, said that the county had the potential to expand its computer use by as much as 13 percent. The county is poorest and the city did not need expanded use.

The cost of the new computer will be about $250,000, about half of what the present computer cost in 1975. The county, the city and the school district will pay for use of the new computer in proportion to the amount of time they use it.
Work on dam misses deadline; city's unruffled
Repair work on the dam is being done by the Anderson Construction Co., Holton, which is also building the two-span bridge crossing the Kansas River in Lawrence.
The deadline for completion of the Bowersock Dam was yesterday, but the job is not finished and the city does not plan to press the issue.
Brent McFall, an assistant to the city manager, said yesterday that the delay was caused by a power failure.
"Rain which fell late last week and melted snow rose the level of the river and flooded
"They were on schedule and it appeared the project would be completed on time, so at this point we're not prepared to charge them. You definitely fines for missing the deadline."
