8 URBANA DAILY CITIZEN Wednesday, April 20, 1988 Council "It's our (the council and city administration) feeling that division heads have a responsibility to perform their duties to levels acceptable to myself and the mayor," Wolke said. Council concerns about a division head could be made to the administration in an informal manner, Wolke said. Council concerns would then be considered in hiring or firing a division head. Council could also use their legislative powers to establish a job description for a division head post, or expand on existing job descriptions as long as the new law does not conflict with the charter, Wolke said. Wolke said the city still has to iron out some of the specifics of the charter before presenting to council.

Ideas for increasing the city revenues came up when council member Warren Stevens asked that council consider what recommendations from Lopez's report the city should act on first, and how the city should fund the recommendations. Continued from Page 1 Council decided that recommendations requiring no extra funding, such as updating the police department's policy manual, should be carried out first. Before council looks at financing other recommendations, council members need to review staffing levels and equipment needs in all city departments, council decided. Wolke presented the idea of increasing the city's income tax rate as one way to help fund departmental improvements and keep the city solvent through the mid-1990s. Currently, the city is spending almost $200,000 per year of its reserves.

Financial projections say that the city will run out of reserve funds in the early 1990s. Wolke said the city could ask the voters to approve a .4 percent income tax increase. On the city's ballot, council could include a rollback in the millage of property tax the city receives as an incentive to the voters. Council could also consider placing a charter amendment that would allow the city to increase income tax at any time with the guarantee that Graham accepts grant By MARILYN JOHNSON St. Paris Correspondent ST.

PARIS The Graham School Board Tuesday evening accepted a Martha Holden Jennings Foundation Grant of $2,400 for Mrs. Debbie Bair, a teacher at South Elementary, to develop a whole language approach to reading. Bair applied for the grant, which was given in record time, according to Frank Focht, Superintendent of the Graham Schools. The whole reading program will supplement the phonics program and will be used in grades K-4 at Graham South. In a legal technicality, the Board voted non-renewal of all substitute teacher contracts for the 1988-89 school year effective at the end of this academic year.

Focht explained that contracts will be offered the same substitute teachers in August. Obituaries Ivan A. Williams KETTERING Ivan A. "Ike" Williams, 85, of 4917 Far Hills Apt. 1-A, Kettering, died early Monday morning, April 18, 1988, in his residence.

He was born April 23, 1902, in Marshall, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Ira A. Williams. He was retired of the former Knight Seed Co.

of Urbana, and worked for Grimes Manufacturing. He was a member of First Presbyterian Church and was involved with the Masonic lodge and Lions Club, all in Urbana. Williams was a former president of the Ohio Seed Association and was active in the Urban Garden Club. He was a 1926 graduate of Georgia Tech in Atlanta where he played football for four years and set several school records. He played professional football for a New York City team that was a forerunner of the New York Giants.

Survivors include his wife Charlotte (Bell), whom he married in 1942; two daughters and sons-in-law, Cynthia and Robert Morris of Kettering and Susan and Wayne M.

This charter amendment would benefit Urbana land owners by reducing their tax burden, Wolke said. The slack in city revenues would be picked up by people who work in the city, but live outside the city.

Wolke said the city realizes $150,000 for every .1 percent of income tax. The city currently collects a one percent income tax. Porno ban approved by House WASHINGTON (AP) The House on Tuesday approved a nationwide ban on "dial-a-porn" telephone pornography services despite arguments that the bill was unconstitutional. The legislation, identical to an amendment approved earlier in the Senate, was included in an $8.3 billion education bill passed 397 to 1 after lawmakers handed Democratic leaders a defeat and rejected a lesssweeping anti-porn provision. Final Senate action on the package was expected Wednesday.

"Some may question the constitutionality of this measure," said Rep. Ralph Hall, D-Texas. "But it is the most straightforward." Rep. John Dingell, chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, called the measure "extraordinarily shaky" on constitutional grounds. Barry W.

Lynn, legislative counsel of the American Civil Liberties Union, said the ban "clearly intrudes on the privacy and the free-speech rights of adult Americans. This is a hopelessly inept way of dealing with the issue of children's access to diala-porn, which should be the only matter under He predicted "years of litigatioon, and in the process, increased access by children to dial-a-porn."

NEW YORK (AP) The stock market rose yesterday in a mild rally inspired largely by higher corporate earnings, but a selloff late in the trading session erased much of the gain. The market's inability to sustain higher levels for even a few hours suggested to many analysts that underlying uncertainty will continue to afflict trading for the foreseable future. The Dow Jones average of 30 industrials, which had been up anymore than 25 points earlier in the session, slid in the final hour and finished down 8.62 to 1,999.50. It was the first time the indicator closed below 2,000 in two weeks. Gaining issues narrowly lead declines on the New York Stock Exchange, with 779 up, 733 down and 465 unchanged.

Big Board volume totaled 161.91 million shares, compared with 144.65 million Monday. The NYSE's composite index of all listed issues fell 0.62 to 146.15.
