City Rejects Sharing Cost for Drainage Project
Ottawa city commission instructed staff to deny Our Own Hardware Company a share in drainage culvert costs for the proposed warehouse site at Davis and North streets. City Manager Robert Mills said the city would finance capital improvements alone, maintaining equity as engineers estimate the culvert to cost about 15000 dollars. The denial follows the company’s tax-exempt status under industrial revenue bonds, with Mills stressing no extra charges to the firm beyond upfront costs. The city aims for smooth cooperation with the company, which Mills calls a first-class outfit.

Hostages face switch as militants seek council control
The Moslem militants holding about 50 Americans at the U S Embassy in Fehran for 124 days asked the Revolutionary Council to assume responsibility for the captives. Iranian authorities said a final decision would come in April or May, with details of handover to be decided tonight or tomorrow as a Revolutionary Council meeting was set. The move could allow a UN commission to meet the militants as planned.
