She was a native of San Fran- risrn The Santa Cruz City Council Tuesday will consider extending the current water rates until it can develop a rate increase package more acceptable to the council majority. The current rates were authorized on an interim basis in November and yield an estimated 11 per cent higher income than the water department had prior to that time. The rate extension will be considered during the afternoon session of a regular council meeting to begin at 4 p.m. in the city hall council chambers.

Following a dinner break at around 6 p.m., the council will reconvene for an evening session at 7:30. The evening session will be highlighted by a proposal leading to expansion of the city museum, appeals from various planning commission rulings, and a proposal for a new organization of the city commissions, committees and agencies. Major business items include the following. AFTERNOON SESSION: GRANT The council will consider applying for a grant for $22,000 from the California Coastal Zone Commission for a program intended to revise the city's general plan and implementing ordinances into conformity with the coastal conservation plan. The council's willingness expressed in December to apply for the grant may have been a surprise to some observers because the state has no coastal conservation plan as yet and the council appears to be committing the city to link itself at this time to proposals for a plan, rather than a plan that may or may not be adopted for the state.

This significant agenda item is listed on the consent agenda, meaning it can be adopted along with many other items with but one general vote and without discussion unless requested by a council member or someone in the audience. BIDS The council will consider awarding bids for major electrical changes in the civic auditorium, for construction of a pool at Harvey West Park, for a drainage project for Owens Street and for dredging Neary Lagoon. RESTORATION The council will consider expanding a contract with a consultant to include development of a guide for restoration of historic buildings. The guide is recommended by the city historic preservation commission to further local efforts to preserve historic buildings and other structures. TOWN CLOCK A report on estimated costs of the Town Clock project will be received by the council as an aid to determine how much support the city will give the project, what its responsibilities will be if a funding drive for the project falls short.

The financial data were requested in December by several council members. EVENING SESSION STREETS The council will consider authorizing improvement of Delaware Avenue and signing of an agreement for a federal grant for authorized work. Additionally, the council will consider establishing a Potrero Street assessment district for improvements in this area. HEARINGS The council will hold hearings on an appeal from Lee Cook for reclassification of properties at High Street and Cardiff place, an appeal from residents opposing a planning commission approval of a housing development for the elderly on Messiah Lutheran Church property at 801 High PROCEDURES The council will consider amending the procedures now used to handle appeals from citizens on zoning matters. City Planner Robert Lawrence has noted that the council is being appealed to more increasingly by the citizens to reverse rulings on such matters by the planning commission.

Thiefs Take Wheels Off 2 Parked Cars TOKYO (AP) Diplomats and other foreigners in Peking mingled today with thousands of Chinese filing past an urn containing the ashes of Premier Chou En-lai. Chou died of cancer last Thursday at the age of 78.

His remains were cremated Sunday, and burial is scheduled Thursday. Foreign correspondents reported that Foreign Minister Chiao Kuan-hua was in tears as he greeted diplomats arriving at the Palace of Workers' Culture, a former imperial temple. Above the flag-draped urn was a huge photograph of Chou, and surrounding it were hundreds of wreaths, including one from Chairman Mao Tse-tung and one from Chou's widow, Teng Ying-chao. The slow-moving crowd of mourners included peasants, workers and students. The Chinese wore white paper flowers, the symbol of mourn-ing, on their chests.

Loudspeakers played a dirge. A large black banner across the building proclaimed, "May the memory be eternal of Comrade Chou En-lai, great proletarian revolutionary of the Chinese people, prominent fighter for communism." China's official Hsinhua news agency reported that 10,000 persons paid their last respects, at the hospital where Chou died before his remains were taken foe cremation to the Papaoshan Cemetery for Revolutionaries. Hsinhua said the body was escorted to the cemetery by Wang Hung-wen, a Communist party vice chairman who may be in line to inherit Chou's No.2 spot in the party hierarchy. Vice Premier Teng Hsiao-ping, regarded as likely to succeed Chou as premier," was among those visiting the hospital, Hsinhua said. The Peking correspondent of the Japanese newspaper Asahi reported that mourners burst into tears on seeing alongside Chou's remains at the hospital a note from his widow reading, "Comrade-in-Arms Chou En-lai from Shou Chou." Shou Chou is the nickname Chou gave his wife at the time of their marriage.
