After his death in 1929, Mrs. Agency Seeks $1.93 Million For Katy Trail By Jim Mosley Post-Dispatch Jefferson City Bureau JEFFERSON CITY The Missouri Department of Natural Resources has renewed its effort to establish two 30- mile hiking and cycling trails by requesting about $1.93 million for the project.

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. entire trail is 200 miles long. It runs along an abandoned rail line from Machens to Sedalia. $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 rightof-way, but the money represented by 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 chailenge 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. code name Oboe, guided aircraft by two radio signals from separate ground stations in Britain. Mr. Easy worked on radar for the Decca Co. after the war, designing systems for shipping, civil aircraft and missile control.
