Seney estimate now DNR asks By FRANK MAINVILLE Staff Writer The Department Natural Resources is seeking a $977,000 supplemenappropriation based upon reimbursement from the federal government to cover state costs of fighting the $7.5 million-plus Seney National Wildlife Refuge (Walsh Ditch) fire, which is still costing $75,000 a day. Robert Compeau, Forest Fire Division chief, told Natural Resources Commissioners Thursday the $7.5 million estimate covers only state and federal fire suppression costs thus far and does not cover equipment purchased by the state to help battle the Upper Peninsula fire. "WE MAY get reimbursed for the aluminum pipe run over when the fire jumped M-28 and the pumps and power saws lost or stolen from the fire line," Compeau told commissioners.

He said no estimate of claims for losses of timber on federal, state or privately owned lands had yet been made. He said the total cost, when loss claims are made, will probably exceed $10 million. Meanwhile, Compeau said, a joint federal-state board of review on the fire concluded two key decisions resulted in the spread of the fire: a decision by Jack Frye, refuge manager, not to permit the DNR to go into the wilderness area with motorized equipment when the fire was discovered by air Aug. 1, and a decision to withdraw ONR firefighters permitted in Aug. 11 on Aug.

The mark also pulls Cooley ahead of the University of Detroit Law School which enrolled 760 students this fall making it the state's smallest law school in number of students.

Cooley officials said the increase reflects the spread of the school's reputation, noting that with the 23.7 per cent increase it led all five Michigan law schools in growth this year.

more fire money vice lacks authority to expend emergency funds for fire suppression. THE WEEK-LONG review, held in Manistique, included Compeau, officials of the Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management's Boise Interagency Fire Center. Compeau explained that while Frye attempted on three occasions to walk in to the fire after the DNR reported it to him Aug. 1, he denied the DNR permission to enter with motorized equipment because of the area's status as a wilderness.

Frye, Compeau explained, ignored the DNR's recommendation of immediate control because he did not feel that the fire constituted an emergency that posed threats to the wilderness 1 resource, human life or damage to property. HE SAID the refuge manager "suffered from a lack of clear operating guidelines on wildfire control and wilderness "Their staff and we believed that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had a 'let burn' policy on wilderness areas," said Compeau. "As a result of the fire, the FWS has issued an ultimatum that, in the absence of a currently-approved fire plan, all wildfire on national wildlife refuges will be suppresed." "The FWS also proved to be the only federal agency not authorized to expend emergency funds for wildfire suppression," he said, explaining Frye's apparindecision. Frye ordered a withdrawal of equipment on Aug.

13, two days after two rented bulldozers had been permitted to go in towards the fire, after orders relayed from the Twin Cities, FWS office to Washington and back. "A DECISION was made in the Twin Cities office to order the equipment pulled back and to call the Boise Interagency Fire Center for assistance," he said. "Alhtough the BIFC sent Greg Jensen to inspect the fire and recommend action, no active suppression efforts were resumed until Aug. 19, losing six days during which the fire spread to 1,000 acres." "These two decisions not to enter because of the wilderness designation initially and the withdrawal order due to uncertain funding capabilities, appeared to be key points to the review board," he explained. An additional key factor was that the Upper Peninsula was experiencing one of the worst droughts in its history, which was not readily apparent to the refuge staff in late July and early August.

Coupled with wind, temperature and humidity abnormalities, the drought resulted in dangerous fuel conditions. "HAD THE history of fire occurrence in the Seney Refuge been more frequent the last fire was in 1970 and had the staff been more experienced with fire, they would undoubtedly have been more conscious of the building hazard potential," Compeau told commissioners. "As it was, only wind was needed to cause the blow Chamber hears out candidates think we need that again," he said in reference to the popular tax limitation proposal. He also told the group that projects such as the Capitol Commons or rejuvenating Lansing's downtown could be jeopardized by the spending limitations and policies in Proposal C. Hollister's Republican opponent, Richard Covert, also from Lansing, said he favors Proposal because he thinks it will force the legislature to cut wasteful spending.

HE ALSO favors the bottle ban, which was a unique position for the Republicans who spoke. Democratic Rep. Tom Holcomb from Lansing's south end also took stands in opposition to the Chamber positions on the state proposals. He too supports sunset legislation, saying: "I think it makes sense and is a practical approach to spiraling costs." HE ALSO told the group that he has been working on the controversial workmen's compensation issue and investigating the Michigan Securities Exchange Commission. Michael Walsh, the Republican opponent for the 58th district seat in south Lansing, called the current legislature a "do-nothing legislature." He said he opposes the bottle ban and Fu- SILVERS, LILLIE, of St.

finds the graduated income tax proposal arguments to be "a bunch of fraud, deceit and lies." HE CALLED for true parole reform and an end to unemployment compensation for those who refuse to work. Jondahl, who introduced the bottle bill in the legislature, told the group about some of the issues he feels are important for the future well-being of the state. He mentioned that hunger and starvation could be a new reality if the legislature doesn't address itself to evaporating agricultural land through land use planning. He also noted the need for a serious energy policy to deal with limited resources. Donald Bunka, Jondahl's Republican opponent from Okemos, agreed with the Chamber stands on the ballot proposals.

"NOW WE work 40 per cent of the time for the government. What do we have to do, work 60 per cent of the time for the government?" he asked in reference to spiraling taxes and state spending. He talked about industry fleeing Michigan and the fact that there are too rules that tie down the small busimany nessman. Trio, hitchhiker tied to $60 heist Douglas J.
