Poor wire installation caused fire
An electrical malfunction caused Sunday night's fire in the Holiday Plaza shopping center at 24th and 19th streets, fire officials said yesterday.
Kansan staff report
He said European Tan was the only one of the six stores affected by the fire that sustained fire, smoke and water damage.
Jim McSaw, Lawrence fire chief, said fault installation of a ground wire near the sauna area in the rear end of the European Tan, Health and Hair Salon triggered the malfunction.
D'Egage Dancewear, Pizza Hut Delivery and Shin Asian Supermarket sustained water and smoke damage; Sharon's Bridal Boutique sustained smoke damage; and Cross Reference Bookstore and University Photography studio sustained light smoke damage.
McSain said it would take the fire department at least two days to assess damage because of the variety of the stores.
Lorena Keefe, owner of D'Egage Dancewear, east of European Tan, said her store remained closed yesteryear and department said the roofs were not safe.
"I don't know if I'll have to relocate." Keefe said.
Edmund Goldring, manager of Pizza Hut Delivery, west of European Tan, said his business also remained closed. He did not know whether he would have to relocate or what the cost of the damages was. He said the company would try to assess damages today.
The manager of European Tan was unavailable for comment.
School finance bill in danger of Finney veto
The Associated Press
TOPEKA - The House rejected all amendments to a school finance bill yesterday, moving the bill within one step of being sent to Gov. Joan Finney, who threatened a veto unless a tax package also was passed to provide more money for public education.
The House tentatively approved, following two hours of debate, a bill revising the distribution formula under which more than a half billion dollars would be distributed to state aid would be distributed to district schools next school year
If the House passes the bill on final roll call, scheduled for this morning.
Finney issued a statement as soon as House debate ended yesterday, saying a potential $159 million property tax increase that the bill could trigger was unacceptable.
"I cannot, in good conscience, be of any plan that risks property tax."
Actually, it looks like "I cannot, in good conscience, be of any plan that risks property tax." The hyphens are there to separate the words. I'll just use standard punctuation.
One more check on "property tax".
It looks like "property tax". Yes, it's a common abbreviation for property taxes.
Final text:
"I cannot, in good conscience, be of any plan that risks property tax."
Let's re-read the instructions again.
"Write a single paragraph with a clear message."
Yes, that's what I should do.
Okay, let's finish the draft.
I cannot, in good conscience, be of any plan that risks property tax.
The bill debated yesterday would revise the school finance formula, under which the state's 304 school districts receive state aid based on a system that gives more money to poorer districts in an attempt to equalize per-student financial support.
spending more on education for each pupil that the statewide median to raise their budgets by 1 percent next year. Those below the median would benefit from their budgets by 3 percent to help them catch up with the richer districts.
Two amendments attempted to change the formula for determining district wealth, both aimed at helping rural school districts.
The bill would allow districts now
Rep. Lee Hamm, D-Dratt, offered an amendment that would have counted 75 percent of a district's income as wealth in the next school year, 50 percent in the 1982 school year, and 34 percent in the 1984 school year.
