Council Advances Plan to Ease Subdivision Sidewalk Rules
The Anderson City Council passed a two reading ordinance relaxing sidewalk requirements for subdividers on primary and arterial streets with two or more lots per acre. Variances are allowed for hardships, and the Plan Commission must show access points to public facilities. The measure, urged by the Anderson Home Builders Association, aims to curb costs and stimulate growth.

House Passes 60 Day Oil Price Control Extension
The House approved a retroactive extension of oil price controls to Oct 1 to gain time for energy talks with President Ford. Senate Democrats resisted a version that would allow Ford to push a broader energy plan during the extension, noting potential inflation and timing concerns. Ford backs gradual phase out, while Congress weighs a separate energy bill and possible veto threats.

Indiana panel weighs removing malpractice award cap
An Indiana special committee studying the 1975 medical malpractice law discussed proposals to eliminate the $500,000 cap, shift cases to private arbitration for smaller claims, cut premiums for hard to insure doctors, extend coverage to blood banks nursing homes and mental facilities, require losers to pay court costs, and shield self insured hospitals and doctors from large judgments. Senate aide Adam Benjamin Jr. noted potential constitutional challenges and said any change would likely wait until 1976.
