8 University Daily Kansan Campus/Area Wednesday, Jan. 29, 1986 9 Horse racing would bring state money The Associated Press TOPEKA - Part-mutuel betting on horse and dog races would benefit Kansas' economy through increased tourism, and construction and staffing of new race tracks, the state's top economic development officer told a House panel yesterday. Charles "Jamie" Schwartz, secretary of economic development, urged the House Federal and State Affairs Committee to approve a proposed constitutional amendment that would repeal the state's prohibition on pari-mutu wagering if the measure is approved in the November general election. After hearing 10 people speak in favor of the proposal, Rep. Robert H. Miller, R-Wellington, the chairman of the committee, said opponents were scheduled to testify today. The pari-mutuel proposal was introduced in the House at the end of the 1985 legislative session after the chamber defeated a Senate-passed pari-mutuel resolution. Schwartz said the money the state would collect by taxing pari-mutuel revenues also would help the Kansas economy because the funds would be earmarked for state-supported economic development programs operated by his agency. However, Schwartz, who was appointed by Gov. John Carlin, noted that his successor would be the beneficiary of the estimated $3 million to $5 million in pari-mutuel revenues because Carlin's term would end before the wagering could begin. "One of the best features of this measure is that it will provide direct economic activity while generating additional revenues for state-sponsored economic development activity." Schwartz said. Kansas is the nation's fifth largest producer of quarter horses and it leads the country in racing-greyhound breeding, Schwartz said. He warned that both industries could be jeopardized if the pari-mutuel amendment fails. City sets hearing date A public hearing was set for Feb. 18 at the city commission meeting last night to discuss whether industrial revenue bonds should be used to buy and renovate Park 25 Apartments, 2401 W. 25th St. By Juli Warren Staff writer Two Wichita men, Donald Walenta and Ronald Peden, want to use $440,000 of the IRBs to buy the apartments and $3.96 million to renovate them. Federal guidelines require that 20 percent, or 51 of the 254 units of the housing project, be reserved for low-income occupants. Phil Stuart, who owns Stuart Apartments, 703 W. 25th St., appeared before the commission to comment on the issue but was told Commissioner Ernest Angino said, "I think everyone reserves the right to have a public hearing and I feel very strongly about that." Stuart, who said he had owned apartments for 30 years, said, "Apartment ownership is one of the last frontiers for the free market. "I don't think we need that incentive to develop them." to wait until the hearing so that both sides could be heard. County commissioners will discuss a vicious dog control ordinance on Feb. 6. Stuart said after his appearance that he was not sure the proposal was the best use of IRBs. However, he said, he is in favor of a public hearing, and plans to attend the hearing the commissioners set. In other commission business, two Lawrence residents expressed concern about dog control. City and county commissioners have been discussing restriction of dogs since a 3-year-old Lawrence boy was maused in Eudora by two pit bullterriers in December. Patricia Marvin, 810 E. 13th St., said she had problems with dogs running loose in her neighborhood. "We had one little nipper that came at you from across the street and just nipped at you," she said. Paul Grosz, 834 Kentucky St.. said he was concerned about aggressive enforcement of dog controls.
