Kansas Must Tailor Industrial Growth For Workforce Attraction

At the Lawrence Rotary Club, Dean James Surface of the KU School of Business argued Kansas must treat industrial development as a near necessity. He noted farm income lagging behind manufacturing and government during 1953-59, with 40 000 fewer farm workers over 20 years, urging steady factory growth to keep residents in state and reach a national manufacturing share of 22 percent.

First Reading Is Due Tuesday For New Trash Rates

The City Commission will consider first reading of a draft ordinance Tuesday afternoon to set up a new trash collection rate system. A 40-cent monthly increase would affect residents without alleys who do not place cans at the curb, while others pay no change. The plan aims to create a fairer price for curbside crews and move the department toward self funding, despite concerns about higher bills and curbside impacts on city aesthetics. The city also plans to bid Jan 31 for $652,520.44 in general obligation bonds to fund sewer, street, and library projects, with a 10 year repayment.
