Carbondale votes to accept a $59,901 settlement in a Cook County suit alleging nine utilities and 171 Illinois towns overcharged municipal utility taxes. The deal refunds overcharges from 1978 to 1980 via credits on September bills, spreading cost over two years and limiting financial exposure for Carbondale.

Brezhnev signals talks on arms limit with Reagan offer
Brezhnev welcomed Reagan talks on strategic nuclear arms but dismissed the one third cut proposal as one sided. He urged a freeze on modernization and deployment during talks and said Soviet medium range missiles would be placed to strike West Germany and Western Europe. Reagan said he expects to meet and Haig noted compatibility with U.S. approach on some Soviet ideas. Brezhnev's remarks came as the 19th Komsomol congress opened and as U.S. proposals sought deeper cuts beyond 5 000 warheads.

The CHPSI board will weigh Bowen’s facts and a funding reinstatement in the budget.
