WAIT ON SEWER PLAN RAYTOWN HAS DOUBT ON KANSAS CITY LINK Th Council Will Consider Proposed Agreement for the Two Cities A proposed joint sewer use agreement between Kansas City and Raytown does not appear now to be of benefit to Raytown, Mayoi1 Murray C.

Boogher of Raytown said last night. Changes in the original proposal have made it unattractive financially to Raytown, he said. Boogher made the statement after a special meeting of the council at which Robert W. Lamberton of Larkin Associates, consulting engineers, presented a report on the revisions of the proposal. The agreement has been under consideration almost two years.

The new proposal reduced the amount of money that would be paid by each city to make cross connections between the systems. Originally, Raytown was to receive more than Kansas City. In addition, Kansas City orig inally was to pay for a greater share of the capital improvements to be made in the areas of the cities covered by the agreement, Boogher said. He said action would be post poned until the full 10-member council could meet for a decision. Six councilmen were present last night.

Kyle will be accompanied in the talks by Ralph H.

Ochsner, planning director, and Les Clark, an assistant to Ochsner. They are expected to return DEFENSE OF HOMES Southeast A. President Points to Added Burden on Area Schools A rezdning ordinance that would permit a 175-unit grouphousing project at Seventy-fifth street and Cleveland av enue as opposed jesterday by about 80 residents of the Southeast area. The general committee of the council, which was divided on the ordinance, signed it out of committee without a recommen datidn. The controversial project which would cost $1,750,000 would have co-operative units for which charges of $70 to $110 a month would be made, de pending on the number of bedrooms.

Bound by FH Regulations The units would be built under Federal Hdusing Administration regulations, which would restrict the area to families with in comes of less than $8,700 a year and which preclude racial discrimination. Residents of the area said the income restriction would tend to devaluate $17,000 to $20,000 homes a few blocks away and that the project would add to tensions in the area. William C. Phelps, attorney for the developers, Kroh Brothers, and Berl L. Smokier A pointed out the proposal to rezone the area for 4-family dwellings or group housing had been approved by the city plan commission and the city board of zoning adjustment.

It was before the city council last week but was re-referred to the committee for another hearing at the request of Mis. Harry Hagan, councilwoman. Says Land Use Is Limited Phelps said the hilly terrain would not be suitable for singlefamily, duplex or industrial use. By building the units in groups of buildings large areas of land could be left for playgrounds and lawns. In an unusual procedure for council hearings.

Councilman John Maguire, who represents the fifth district with Mrs. Hagan, testified before' the committee in opposition to the rezoning. Maguire said the group housing would be thoroughly inconsistent with the values in the area. I would favor something that would improve the neighborhood. This proposal is a disgrace, in my opinion and Im going to vote against it.

C. McCarthy said the project had all the earmarks of a project for a redevelopment area instead of for land as yet undeveloped. Mrs. Rex Lilly, president of Parent-Teachers association the Southeast high school, said the project would bring an estimated 600 children into the area where schools are already overcrowded. Southeast high school had 1,829 students last year when capacity is 1,650, she said, and elementary schools in neighborhood are just as badly crowded.

Terry Says Such Groups Insure Election Votes By controlling the jobs of many county employees, political factions have a ready-made precinct organization composed of the employees who must produce votes on election day or lose their jobs, Jack C.

Terry, a Democratic candidate for the nomination for eastern judge of the county court, said last night. Terry spoke at a patio party of the Jackson County League for Better Government at 3228 Sunrise slope, Independence. Lists Political Factions He said the leading county factions, as listed in a recent report of the Civic Research Institute, are the Eastern Jackson County Democratic club, the Jeffersonian Democratic club, the Congress of Democratic Clubs, the North Side Democratic club and the First Regular Democratic club. These groups which are actively aligned and supporting the same candidates in most positions, represent 57.9 per cent of the control of government positions by factions in the county, Terry said. In addition, these same key clubs control 15 positions the assessors office.

50 per cent of the employees in the election commissioners office in Independence, all of the employees in the circuit clerks office in Kansas City and Independence, and positions in several magis trate courts. Terry said the Eastern Jack-son County Democratic club, headed by Floyd L. Snyder, incumbent eastern judge; Alvin D. patten, delinquent tax attorney and Melvin Hilliard, county collector, also has employees in the treasurers office, the Jack-son County hospital, the health department, the county investigators office and the park department. Have Majority Control There is no question these statistics that these major political factions have the greatest majority of control of political groups listed in the factions report of the civic research institute, he said.

The danger in such powerful control, is that through this great number of employees these factions have a built-in ready-made precinct organiza tion which has to work to keep the factions in power or they ose their jobs. Terry is supported by the committee for county progress a group that has expressed its dissatisfaction with factions politics and the patronage system. skirts and pants BranifFs non-stop flight FIRST PROJECT BEGINS Uit of Revolving Fund Resident Use a Possibility Interest in benefit district and revolving fund financing to pave neighborhood streets was expressed last night at the first meeting of the finance subcommittee of the Independence Citizens Street Advisory committee. coincidence, a few hours before the committee met, construction was started on the first street improvement benefit district in the city. On Sterling Avenue That is about 300 feet of a 4-lane asphalt pavement and concrete curbed section of Sterling avenue south from U.

S. 40 to the Kansas City line. The owners of property along th section being paved will pay for 28 feet of the 48-foot pavement. The residents will pay for concrete curbs and gutters. The city will pay for the remaining 20 feet of the pavement and for a 10-foot wide left-turn lane at the intersection.

A benefit district is created when at least 51 per cent of the property owners, representing at 51 per cent of the property to be improved, agree to pay for the paving. The public works department asks that at least 60 per cent of the owners possessing at least 60 per cent of the property agree to pay for improvement. The extra amount provides an adequate leeway, Douglas Talbot, head of the engineering division of the public works department, said last night. Mrs. Ruth Ann Austin, a subcommittee member, asked that the subcommittee consider the use of a revolving fund.

Such a fund is used, she said, to provide loans to property owners making street paving improvements. I like this idea here, Charles Wright, subcommittee chairman, said. Seen as Incentive 'I think there are a lot of people whose streets are bad enough and who might want to pay for part of the cost of paving them, if they were given an incentive. The subcommittees task is to determine the sources and how much money should be spent on a capital street improvement program. D.

McEnroe, finance director, said there are four sources: The general fund, which he said probably would provide the least amount: special benefit district; federal and state aid and general obligation bonds. He said the city has a bonding capacity of 10 million dollars, based on 10 per cent of the assessed valuation of the city last year. Walter Marsh, chairman of the main advisory committee, said the classification and construction subcommittee, headed by Gene Cable, would consider the scope of the paving program and decide the number of streets and the location of those streets to be improved. The finance subgroup is expected to meet in five or six weeks. SLTPORT 2 CANDID TES The congress of Democratic clubs has endorsed Cecil Baker for county committeeman and Mfs.
