Car lobbyists contend that crash parts are poorly made
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — The state should protect consumers by requiring that they be told when their cars will be repaired with so-called crash parts. a House committee was told yesterday.
Body shop owners and lobbyists for car manufacturers and dealers told the House Transportation Committee that crash, or "after-market," parts often were inferior in quality. They also criticized the insurance industry, saying it often forced consumers to accept the use of the parts to save money on claims.
The committee heard testimony on a bill that would require anyone who did an estimate on the repair of a car to notify consumers if the检疫 assumed crash parts would be used. The measure will testify tomorrow.
Crash or after-market parts are replacement parts for cars that are not manufactured by the carmakers
Commissioners' salary to be cut $4,000 a year
The Douglas County Commission voted 2-1 Monday in favor of commissioner Mike Amyx's proposed pay cut, reducing commissioners' salaries by more than $4,000 a year.
Members vote for decrease
by a Kansan reporter
Amyx and commissioner Nancy Hiebert voted to cut their salaries from $19,180 to $15,000. Commissioners from Nahona'i, Hiebert, voted against the proposal.
Campaign promises prompted newly elected commissioners Amyx
and McEhaney to disagree on the salary reduction.
Amyx, 2nd district representative,
I. J. Stoneback, McEilhaney's opponent in the 3rd district, said they would take a pay cut if elected.
McEilhaney did not make the same offer.
"After I took a stand on it, I had a lot of support and I didn't see a reason to change my mind," McElhaney said.
McEhlaney said he worked 40-60 hours a week since taking office Jan. 9 and believed he would have earned the original salary.
himself to do it," McElhaney said. Amyx said that if the commission
"I didn't think I was obligated to take a pay decrease because another candidate (Amyx) had obligated
had voted against his proposal, he would have taken a self-imposed pay cut and offered 16 $250 scholarships to Douglas County residents.
The commissioners' salaries have increased from $15,577 in 1984 to $19,188 in 1987.
He said that since the commission created the salaried position of county administrator in 1986, pay increases could not be justified.
"I don't know if it was so much my convincing, but we got a chance to reevaluate what we do against how much we're getting paid," Amyx said.
City Commission grants approval for Riverfront's parking structure
Bids due Feb. 28
The Lawrence City Commission last night agreed to the plans of the new Riverfront parking structure, but raised questions concerning the bridge deck that would border the north side of the new shopping center.

The Chelsea Group, an East Coast development firm, has been designated as the contractor for the new shopping structure, which will be built by spring 1990 at the latest. Company officials submitted the final architectural proposal to the commission last night, seeking to gain the compliance of the commissioners.
Art Stadig, a representative of Walker Parking Consultants, said that the two-story structure would accommodate 510 parking spaces on the south side of the building.
The commission, which agreed to spend up to $3.5 million on the project, approved the proposal and designated Feb. 28 as the bid date. At that time, the commission will choose the contractor that will build the structure.
"We promised the people of Lawrence a space that is aesthetically pleasing." Schumm said. "I believe we can do a little better."
Mayor Bob Schumm expressed concern for a concrete surface which would be a pleasing color and provide variability in the deck's design.
Commissioner Sandra Praeger said safety was the foremost factor in dealing with the adjoining deck.
Jonn Lungstirum, attorney and legal counsel for the developer, said the city's proposed needs had been met and that the deck was aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound.
The commissioners originally expressed to the contractor the need for a structurally stable bridge, which could support the weight of fire engines and other emergency vehicles. They had also expressed the need for the deck to be built at a desirable location for pedestrians viewing the Kansas River.
The commissioners also voiced some concern about the architectural design of the building. Schumm said the most recent picture of the building looked flat, common and lacked the original brokenstructure along the side.
tor for the project, said the concessions made in the structure of the building were done to attract retail businesses
The council agreed to vote on the building's design in two weeks.
