Agency to decide line issue POWER LINE, From 1A The utility contends the line is needed to provide new and cheaper sources of electricity to meet growing power demands, and would save custom-; ers from $5 million to $6 million 4 year. Opponents charge that the 60-mile-long line from Battle Creek to the Indiana line is not necessary. They say it would harm the health of people oh the route, would loweE property values, and is only intend-: ed to make money for a private venture linked to Consumers' par ent firm. The commission will investigate and decide the necessity question only if its finding is final, said corn? mission spokeswoman Mary Jq Kunkle. She said she had not yet received a copy of the order.

Both sides expressed confidence that the commission will rule in their favor. "We're confident the MPSC will find that the people of Michigan wiH benefit greatly from the savings! that this line will provide," said Mi chael G. Morris, executive vice president with Consumers Power. Cathy Smith, Michigan RAGE vice president, foresees "months of technical hearings at the PSCj where we think they would have tQ sell ice to the Eskimos before they convince anyone of the public need for this line." Drug czar to control state fund The Associated Press LANSING A tug-of-war tx tween Gov. John Engler and a state education panel over control of $14 million in drug-fighting funds ended; Tuesday.

The State Board of Education' voted 5-3 to transfer the funds tot Engler's drug czar, but not before some bitter partisan rhetoric about the future of a controversial health program and the board's shirking its constitutional responsibility for education. "A vote for (the transfer) is a vote against comprehensive health, education and against the Michigan Model," warned Annetta Miller, a Democratic board member from Huntington Woods. "It is tantamount to recall if the, citizens of this state realize what-we are doing. It is not the prerogaV tive of this board to change the con stitution," said Gumecindo Salas an East Lansing Democrat. Republican Richard DeVos of.

Grand Rapids called such talk inflammatory and inappropriate. The party-line vote, with Repute licans supporting Engler and Dem-' ocrats opposed, gave the governor; the power over the funds he has, been seeking since July. It was the board's second vote on the issue. The transfer failed by one vote on Oct. 16 when one of five GOP board members, DeVos was absent.

Foes of the transfer contend it violates federal law requiring state education agencies to control the funds. And they warn that Engler's drug czar, Robert Peterson, wants-' to control the money to gut the; Michigan Model for Comprehensive School Health Education. 9B Wesley Smith officiating.
