LCRA Executive Director Joe Frieze said the authority will seek permission from Springfield City Council to proceed with the property appraisals before action is taken on the UDAG funds. "We want to get a head start on this if we can," he said.

"We would like to have all property appraised by Sept. 1." The city will not know until April 1 whether the grant is approved. If the grant is not approved, the application will remain on file for funds to be awarded June 1. Dave Canaday, LCRA director of relocation, said relocation assistance is available to owners and occupants of houses, apartments and businesses. The law gives LCRA $15,000 to work with in relocating a homeowner, he said, and compensation is based on the current market value of real estate and the price of the property that is acquired.

LCRA also will pay certain closing costs and interest costs, he said. Two vintage homes on East Wal-Iriut will be spared and other home-' owners in the area will receive compensation for their property I when University Plaza is built. Plans for the $29 million conven-tion center proposed by developer iJohn Q. Hammons were redesigned to exclude the residences of Barbara Rosen, 900 E. Walnut, and -Jim House.

935 E. Walnut, City Manager Don Busch said Thursday. I Since both homes lie on the edge lot the Hammons project, the design change will not affect the center. Those two are the only homes from the original plan that will be -saved, Busch said. The proposal still calls for clearing away the "structures next to House's, from 903 up to his property line at 935.

Since the Rosen home will be left intact, no structures on the south side of East Walnut, east of DolHson, will be touched. West of pollison, however, houses on the north side of Walnut from 719 to 39 will be cleared, as will those at 830 and 838 on the south' side of Walnut. At a Thursday hearing conducted by the Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority, property owners were told they are entitled by law to just compensation, based on the market value of the property that is acquired. The hearing dealt with the city's application for a $5 million Urban Development Action Grant fromt the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The grant will be used to buy land for University Plaza, which will include a convention center, hotel, office building, condominiums, shopping areas and parking facilities.

Bill Weaver, LCRA director of real estate, said after property in the area has been appraised and reviewed a written offer will be made to property owners. If a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiations, the issue would go to court, he said. "It Is not Just a matter of some city or state agency coming in and taking the property," Weaver said. "There are a list of safeguards Births To Mr and Mm WUHam Ah. strand.

Joseph. "Almost all of the jails are decrepit. You do' nothing about the problem and it just gels worse." Another concern this year is the recent death of a woman prisoner and injuries to others in a fire in the St. Clair city jail. "The fire tragically and forcefully brought to our attention the need to take action," Youngdahl said.

The St. Clair Incident gave the House committee hearing on the bills a sense of urgency but previous deaths in other county Jails have not spurred the General As- sembly to act. Most legislators say Missouri's new constitutional taxing and spending limitation would force the state to pay for all new improvements in county jails brought about by minimum state standards. That could cost the state as much as $40 million under Holt's bill and everyone agrees the stale doesn't have that kind of money this year. Holt and Youngdahl have introduced the two minimum jail-standards bills this session.

County begins sewer study Population studies needed for the two-year facilities planning study for the Greene County Sewer District started this week, Larry Hooks, project spokesman, said. The sewer district officially has accepted a $465,000 grant from the Environmental Protection Agency to fund part of the project, Hooks, of Hood-Rich Engineering, said. The county has contracted with Hood-Rich on the project. Hook said of the remaining $62,000 needed for the project, all but $9,000 will come from the county budget. The city of Republic has committed $9,000 for a study of its sewage disposal facitilles, he said.

The study is to try to project the county's sewage disposal needs for the next 20 years and to recommend alternatives to septic tanks that are used throughout, the county. Hooks said the population study will last eight weeks. "This work is important because It can determine the cost of the project," he said. The project will consider many sewage disposal systems, not just construction of sanitary tcwert. Ma) boll Woody Maybcll A.

Kllngner will announce By KEITH WHITE The Leader Press JEFFERSON CITY More Missouri counties are finding themselves in court defending conditions in their jails and the fear of losing multi-million dollar lawsuits may provide the impetus to pass legislation setting up minimum state standards for county jails. "If you're going to pay $2 or $3 million for that kind of situation," says Rep. Joe Holt, D-Fulton, "how long will it be before you realize spending $50,000 or $75,000 (to improve a jail) Is a far belter deal?" Willard CtntlBifd frera Page IB they arrived at the high school Thursday night at sundown. "It feel great!" Kelly Carter said. "I'm really glad we could go there to represent the people of Willard and the good people who supported us." Mis Carter was referring to area residents and buinesmen who helped the band raise about $40,000 to make the trip.

Jeff Mark said he was tired because he didn't get much sleep on the overnight bus ride. "I'm going home to bed," he said. Mark said he loved the parade and the tour but not the people at the Capital. "The crowd didn't give much re- sponse. It didn't seem like the people were at friendly back there as they are here." Anne Logan said she was so busy doing her routine she missed seeing Reagan.

"I wasn't really paying attention," she said, "but he saw us. That's what counts. Miss Logan said she liked touring the Capitol and the enjoyed being with her friends on the long trip, "I think there was a lot of close-new during the trip," she said. "We got to know each other better. We took group picture." She taid the didn't like the news that her parents didn't get to see her on television.

Miss Logan and other band members had expected that films an ABC network camera crew took of them in rehearsal before the Inauguration would be featured on "Good Morning, America." The portion of the show that featured Willard was shown nationally, but was preempted locally. Band director Locber said the parade wasn't well organized, and the band had to stand around for hours before It began. He said, though, that he and the( students lovpd the experience. The band gave an excellent performance, he said. "They were just nervous enough to do their beit.

They did the best they've ever done, from what 1 can tell." Ralph L. Bowser Service! for Ralph Bowser. 64. Springfield, will be al 10 30 a m. Saturday in Kllngner Chapel wtth the Rev.
