1987 BEST COPY AVAILABLE 3 SEP 30 4C ST LOUIS POST-DISPATCH WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1987 OBITUARIES Agency Seeks $1.93 Million For Kalv Trail Leo F. Flotron; Civic Leader, Ex-Official Of Plumbers' Union A funeral Mass for Leo F. Flotron, a retired union official and civic leader, will be celebrated at 10 a.m. $600,000 to acquire the ownership of the railroad right-of-way. The Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad known as Katy, has abandoned the rail line.

The state plans to develop the trail under a federal law that says that if a state or other public entity operates a hiking-cycling trail on the railroad right-of-way, that land is determined not to have been abandoned by the railroad. Thus, the right-of-way does not revert back to the adjacent landowners. The law does not require the state to pay the landowners for the right-of-way, but the money represented by The suit was coordinated by the Missouri Farm Bureau. Estil Fie! ell, a Farm Bureau official, said Tuesday that he did not know if his organization would oppose the budget request. But he said the Farm Bureau contended that the right-of-way should revert lo the landowners.

An official of the Conservation Federation of Missouri one of the trail's backers said the group would lobby next year for the request. "We feel strongly about the trail as we always did," said Ed Stegner, the group's executive dii ector. the $600,000 would be a good faith gesture on behalf of the state toward the landowners. Even so, a group of landowners has gone to court to challenge the constitutionality of that law. They contend the land should revert to them.

The suit is pending. $228,000 to maintain and secure the trail. $250,000 for fencing on the trail. Kucera said the landowners' suit would not stop the state from seeking money to develop the project. "The law is on our side right now," Kucera said Tuesday.

The budget request which must be approved by Gov. John Ashcroft and the Legislature is expected to lead to another debate next year.

The agency had sought about $1.6 million for the project this year, but the Legislature appropriated $228,898 only enough to allow the state to maintain and secure the trails, once developed. The department requested the money in its budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1. Ron Kucera, the department's deputy director, said the budget proposal was scheduled to be delivered today to the state's Division of Budget and Planning, the budget office of Gov. John Ashcroft. State agencies are submitting their budget requests to Ashcroft.

He will present his budget to the Legislature in January. The department's budget request seeks: $856,800 for the development of the two 30-mile pilot sections. One of the sections would run from Machens in northern St. Charles County to Marthasville, near Washington. The other would run from Jefferson City to Rocheport.

The entire trail is 200 miles long. It runs along an abandoned rail line from Machens to Sedalia. ooard by then-Mayor Alfonso J. Cervantes, resigning that post in October 1969. Mr.
