City Manager Edward F. Music said the city's attorney Edward D. Hays has advised that the city could offer those services. The city has been sued over the way it proceeded with annexation last Tuesday and Wednesday, and Hays asked for time to study the suit before the city provided I basic services. A decision still has to be made about when the city will provide other city services, when its payroll tax will go into effect, and when it will drop the surcharge on water and sewer services.

City Engineer Luther M. Galloway said the county has agreed to provide such services as snow removal through December. The earliest property taxes could be collected is next fall. Property taxes are based on the location of the property as of Jan. 1 of the taxing year.

Annexation does not change school districts, so pupils attending the county schools will continue there. A correction needs to be made about sewer services, as discussed in a story in Sunday's The Kentucky Advocate. The city does not pay for the installation of sewers. Weisiger Woods residents were told in January that the city would handle the bonding of such a project, if it is necessary, but the cost would be assessed against the users of the system. A similar procedure was followed when sewers were put in Indian Hills subdivision about 20 years ago.

Sewers are installed by the developer the property and that cost is then added to the price of the lots. Weisiger Woods residents had expressed concern that the city would force the residents to put in sewers once they were annexed. At the January meeting, Music told the residents sewers would not be put in any subdivision unless the residents requested them or the Boyle County Health Department required them. Last Tuesday and Wednesday, the city approved and published the ordinance that annexed about 7.5 square miles. Included in the annexed area are most of the industries in the John Hill Bailey Industrial Park and Streamland, Bluegrass Estates, Bluegrass Trace, Argyll and Weisiger Woods subdivisions.

Claude Reynolds, 76, of Hustonville Route 1 died today at Fort Logan Hospital after a long illness. Funeral arrangements are incomplete at Barnett and Demrow Funeral Home, Waynesburg. Eugene R. Sackman HARRODSBURG Eugene Roland Sackman, 75, of 165 Mercer Ave. in Brightleaf Estates died at 12:08 a.m.

today at James B. Haggin Memorial Hospital after an apparent heart attack. Born Oct. 14, 1912, in Greenwood, N.Y., he was the son of the late Eugene R. and Fannie Faust Sackman.

He was a retired comptroller for Cameo Curtains in New Bedford, and was a Presbyterian. He was former treasurer of the child abuse program in Boston, past president of New Bedford and Fall River Accountants Association, coordinator for Junior Achievement in New Bedford, and member of the board of education in Mattapoisett, Mass. He served in the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Case of man who won't vacate cabin goes to county attorney The local zoning enforcement officer has notified the county attorney that an Alum Springs man has failed to comply with an order directing him to vacate a cabin that is in violation of zoning regulations. Walter Worthington of Alum Springs Crosspike received a letter from zoning enforcement officer Hugh Kidwell on Oct.

24 telling him that he had 10 days in which to leave the cabin. The deadline elapsed on Nov. 4 but Worthington, his wife and two children are still living in the small house. Kidwell said today that he delayed notifying the county attorney for a few days to give Worthington additional time in which he could voluntarily vacate the cabin. However, Kidwell decided late last week to proceed with the notification.

A routine matter "Whenever we issue a stop order and a person fails to comply with it, we routinely turn the matter over to the county attorney," Kidwell said. County Attorney George M. McClure III said today that he has received a letter from Kidwell's office but won't proceed with any legal action until he gets more details about the case from Kidwell. "The letter doesn't have much information in it. I want to talk By HERB BROCK Staff Writer with Hugh to find out precisely the deadline involved in the stop order and other specifics," McClure said.

"If, indeed, the stop order is legitimate and Worthington has violated it, I will take it to district court. Until that time, all I can say is that I've taken the matter under advisement." Worthington said in an interview Friday that he had not received any communication from Kidwell or McClure over the previous 10 days. "Until I hear from them, I just plan to sit here," said Worthington. "I fully expect them to do something, and they'll have to for me to leave. I plan to make them force me out." Worthington said that since the publication of an article about his situation in the Nov.

2 AdvocateMessenger, he has received some cash donations, the amounts of which be wouldn't disclose, and a "tremendous amount of moral support" from neighbors and others in the community who are opposed to "unfair zoning regulations." Worthington's problems with the Danville Boyle County Planning and Zoning Commission started last month when he moved from a mobile home into a 450-foot cabin behind the trailer. Worthington then rented the trailer to another family. Worthington said he moved into the cabin, which has no running water or indoor plumbing, because a disability has left him unable to work and a cut-off irl workers' compensation benefits has made it impossible to keep up payments on the trailer, cabin and the surrounding property. Stop order issued Kidwell said that a stop order de the cabin had been issued a couple of years ago when it was discovered that a person was planning to move into it. Kidwell said he told Worthington that the order was still in effect before Wotthington moved in.

The stop order was issued because Worthington is violating zoning regulations. His land is zoned agricultural A-1, and the minimum lot size for a residentia) structure in an A-1 district is five acres. Worthington's property is less than two acres. Kidwell explained in an earlier interview that the mobile home was allowed because at the time it was placed on the property, the minimum residential lot size was two acres. Kidwell said that if Worthington wants to stay in the cabin, he would have to apply to rezone the land from A-1 to single-family residential R-1.

The base fee for a zone change is $300, an amount Worthington said he cannot afford. Worthington doesn't dispute that he is violating zoning regulations, but he is arguing that the zoning commission should be lenient his case and those of others who cannot afford to live wherever they want.
