The plan could allow four additional floors later and costs about 2.5 million. Trustees ordered preliminary drawings and a contract with Hewitt and Royer for cost estimates before deciding on a bond.

Kansas Governor Sees Growth but Opposes Tax Cut
Gov. Robert J. Bennett released Kansas 12th annual economic report noting continued growth as personal income hit 12.80 billion dollars in 1974 but growth lagged 1973. Unemployment at 3.5 percent, later edging above 4 percent, remains below national average. He cautioned inflation and unemployment, urged prudent resource use, and rejected an 11 million tax cut via raising personal exemption. The report highlights auto, construction, housing concerns and supports housing authority, federal funds, and grain export monitoring actions.

Scientists dispute US energy reserve estimates
A National Research Council panel reports US oil and gas reserves are far smaller than government estimates. It projects 113 billion barrels of recoverable oil and 530 trillion cubic feet of gas, far below Interior and USGS figures, and says independence by the mid 1980s is essentially impossible without coal and conservation. Dr. Vincent E. McKelvey notes method differences explain the gaps.
