House approves rebates
WASHINGTON—The House yesterday approved a tax cut package that would give 200 million Americans a rebate of up to $50 this spring as well as increasing the take-home pay of some 45 million couples or individuals. The vote was 382 to 131.
Final passage came after the House rejected four Republican amendments, including one to substitute an across-the-board permanent tax cut for the $50 rebates. That amendment failed by only 25 votes.
The tax now goes to the state.
The tax cut, worth $43.1 million over the next 31 months, is part of a $32 billion, two-year program to increase consumer spending, prime the economy and put unemployed Americans back to work.

On the evening of city elections, with Mayor Fred Pence and Commissioner Carl Mibek absent, the Lawrence City Commission approved allocations last night of about $1.5 million in community development funds to various groups and city projects.
Commission approves allocations
By JOHN McANULTY Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
The commissioners agreed that the allocations be made with an emphasis on neighborhood improvement programs, and that such programs would be used to improve Lawrence neighborhoods.
Four neighborhood in Lawrence were designated by the city as "target areas" for the community development funds. No other neighborhoods are eligible. The four areas are East, far East and Northwest. Projects in other areas of the city will receive money through revenue sharing bonds.
THE LARGEST allocation of the $95,650 in community development funds was $250,000 for construction of a recreation center to serve East and North Lawrence. The center is to include a canning kitchen, that would help residents save money by providing a place in which they could can vegetables they had grown.
Other "target area" programs receiving large allocations were a $218,000 housing rehabilitation program in all four areas; $50,000 winterization program funded by both community development and revenue sharing funds which would provide income to families from low-income families; and $100,000 to replace water lines in East and North Lawrence.
FROM THE $80,714 in revenue sharing funds, the largest allocations were ($180,000 for the acquisition of land from the University of Kansas Endowment Association for the expansion of the Lawrence Municipal Airport; $178,922 for public building improvement; $50,000 for the construction of a new Humane Society dog pound; and $45,000 for the acquisition of land from the Humane Society Foundation.

In response to recently received complaints that the commission had slighted
North Lawrence in allocating funds, Commissioner Barkley Clark said he thought the area had received adequate funding. He said most of the community development programs included North Lawrence.
COMISSIONER Marlene Argeringer said she thought the North Lawrence residents felt slighted because North Lawrence was represented by two neighborhood groups that had different priorities. Because the two organizations had wanted different things, she said, the commission been sure what North Lawrence wanted.
Clark said that the various citizen's groups should develop criteria for managing themselves, have open monthly meetings and be willing to file annual reports with the commission.
THE COMMISSION also received a letter from the Central Lawrence Residents Association which thanked the commission for including the association in the revenue sharing fund allocation to install street lights in central Lawrence.
The neighborhood, made up mostly of students, is at kU from the 1000 to 1400 blocks of Ohio and Louisiana streets. It has a population for many years, the commissioners said.
In other action, the commission authorized Mayor Fred Pence to sign a contract with Baldwin City enabling it to receive water service from Lawrence.
Under the contract, Baldwin City could receive a maximum of 500,000 gallons a day at a rate of 60 cents a gallon, and a maximum of 80 cents a day after Clinton Server is completed.
TOM HITCHCOCK, Baldwin City mayor,
said at the meeting that the city currently
obtained its water from wells, and that
the city is now building new buildings in a
critical dural, summer months in the east.
Under the contract Baldwin City will be required to transport water from Lawrence and will be charged $3,000 to hook up to Lawrence water storage tanks.
At the close of the meeting Clark expired sympathy for the March 5 shooting death of Larry Picotee, 22-year old Haskell Indian Junior College student, at the Long Branch Bar, 1009 Massachusetts St. He was shot by three police officers after the questioned him in connection with an armed robbery last week.
