A 6 TI1F, r.Ol RIKR-JOl nAi, i.oi isvii.le. ky SATl RDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 15, 1969 City Budget Revised To Add New Revenue Old Buildings At Lexington Seem Doomed 4 U1 si vVV The Louisville Board of Aldermen last night revised the city's 1969-70 budget to add $2.9 million to revenues the board will have for meeting operating expenses. Of the additional revenues, $1.5 million is a delayed dividend from the Louisville Water Co. and $1.4 million in underestimated income, mostly from the occupational tax.

The dividend was due last year, but the city-owned water company held it up in a dispute with the aldermen oyer a water-rate increase and a $25 million bond issue for company expansion. Budget makers normally make conservative estimates on income when the budget is prepared prior to July 1 each year. Income from the occupation tax is running higher than expected, however, and the original estimate had to be revised. $939,422 Appropriated In other action at a special meeting, the board appropriated $939,422 for pay raises and an audit. The pay appropriations included $872,102 to give all police and firemen $700-a-year raises and $61,320 for pay increases for civilian workers in the Police Department.

All raises are retroactive to July 1. The audit ordinance provided $6,000 for outside public accountants to check financial records of the Belle of Louisville. Aldermanic President James E. Thorn-berry said the audit should be ready before long. The aldermen are hoping to have it before the present board goes out of office Dec.

1. Only four of the current 12 members will be returning. The aldermen approved two zoning changes. One changed zoning of a tract on the north side of Jefferson west of 20th from R-8 Apartment to C-2 Commercial. The other rezonod a tract at Third and Tenney from R-7 Apartment to C-5 Commercial.

Change Their Mind Action was delayed on a request to change zoning of a lot at South Western Parkwav and Vermont Avenue from R-5 Residential to C-l Commercial. The aldermen passed the ordinance. But it was nullified when they voted to reconsider it at another time after Mrs. Louise Reynolds, Uth Ward alderman, objected to the change. "I'm shocked," she said.

"This is spot zoning at its worst." The change would put a commercial operation in one of the West End's finest neighborhoods, Mrs. Reynolds said. An ordinance was introduced to authorize Teamsters Local 793 to he collective-bargaining agent for workers in the flood-protection division of the Works Department.

A battle to save a vow of historic buildings on the southern fringe of downtown Lexington apparently ende-' in failure late yesterday when a temp Tary order protecting the structures was dissolved by U.S.

District Judge Mac Sw intord. Judge Swinford dismissed a suit filed by the South Hill Neighborhood Association and others seeking to prevent the citv's urban-renewal agencv from razing 14 buildings in the 100, 200 and 300 blocks of West High Street. In the absence of an llth-hour appeal, the order appeared to clear the way for immediate demolition of seven buildings on the site of a proposed bank and office tower in the 200 block of West High. Attorneys for advocates of historic preservation said they were investigating the situation last night. Urban-renewal officials couldn't be reached for comment, but no preparations to tear the buildings down were in evidence.

Efforts to save the old houses, churches and other structures said to represent the beginnings of Lexington had been in the background of downtown urban-renewal plans for three or four years. The struggle reached a high pitch last July when Citizens Union National Bank Trust Co. proposed to buv the tract in the 200 block of West High for a multimillion-dollar bank and office tower. The urban-renewal agency accepted the hank offer over a proposal by Historic Lexington. that the old buildings be restored as a tourist attraction.

A demolition contract was awarded and one of the historic buildings was destroyed and two damaged before the preservationists took their case to court.

And because of a unique arrangement at Sacred Heart Model School, Annette won't have to be. The all-girl school was divided this year into a "lower school," kindergarten through grade 5, and a "middle school" for grades 6, 7 and 8. The divisions are housed in separate buildings on the old Ursuline College Campus, 3121 Lexington Koad. Sister Lorctta Burch, school principal, said the new system has demonstrated psychological benefits for all the students: the younger children "feel more important" having exclusive rights to the 14-year-old Model School building, and the older students, in Brescia Hall, receive more help in preparing for high school and coping with adolescent problems. Some Parents Like the Idea Middle schools, which are springing up across the country, are based on the premise that pre-teens need special attentionaway from the younger children.

The middle school emphasizes more personal freedom and independent study. The system was scrutinized by parents during an open house this week, and most of those interviewed reported favorable impressions. A former schoolteacher, Mrs. Richard Remmers, who has three children in the lower school, said the new system offers each child "a marvelous opportunity for more individual attention" and "gives 47 Bill Limiting DDT Is Set For Legislature FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) A bill to restrict the use of DDT except in cases where no substitute is available is to be passed on to the 1970 legislature without any recommendation.

The interim legislative Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources decided yesterday to pass the bill on for consideration by its successor in the legislative session beginning in January. The committee lacked a quorum yesterday and so could not formally act on the bill, cither to recommend or amend it. As drafted by a special subcommittee on pesticides, the bill would ban DDT except for use in controlling household pests, termites, bats, rats, mice or any other use for which the Stale Agriculture Department determines there is no safe alternative. Anyone buying more than one pound of DDT would have to sign a statement saying he would use it only as prescribed in the bill. One reason for delaying action on the bill presented by the subcommittee was to await federal moves along a similar line, which U.S.

Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Robert Finch said this week his agency was considering. "None of us are real crazy about this bill. It's just something to start on," commented State Rep. Joseph Bernard Keene, D-Bardstown, who is on both the subcommittee that drafted the bill and the full committee. 5k LUNCH DINNER NOW BEING SERVED Lincoln 4 1 2 W.

It said the banks would be transferred to "corporative Libyan companies."

Books Accessories Army Cites 'Threats' In Negro Transfers HEIDELBERG, Germany (AP) Ten American Negro soldiers were summarily transferred in October from posts in Germany for what a U.S. Army spokesman said were "threatening and inflammatory statements" made at all-black meetings. Officials at the Army's Heidelberg headquarters said the 10 were stationed in Augsburg area of Southern Germany.

They refused to make public the men's names. One man was routed out at 3 a.m., driven to Frankfurt's Rhine-Main Airport and put aboard a military transport. Asked why the transfer was made at such an hour, an Army spokesman said it was so the man would be on time for the plane's departure. Three others were given notice of transfer at 6 a.m. and flown out later that day.

Of the 10, six were returned to the United States and the other four were assigned to other bases in Germany. 4J 1 tab 3p COLUMBIA, SC.
