He said the plan would include new industrial incentives, including changes in the state's Single Business Tax and reform of workers' compensation and unemployment insurance systems.

GOP National Committeeman Peter Secchia, who played host to the $50-a-plate breakfast, said the event was the first of eight Republican fundraisers to be held for Ehlers this week. The 32d District consists of the cities of Grand Rapids and East Grand Rapids and seven townships to the north and east: Grand Rapids, Court-land, Oakfield, Cannon, Grattan, Ada and Vergennes. it JZziiri i i i f1 A I -I i 7 lit fvi 1 1 i i Y. yt' i mtsJ' AP and UPI GRAND RAPIDS A special election campaign that will determine partisan control of the Michigan Senate is under way after Republican voters picked state Rep. Vernon Ehlers to oppose Democrat Stephen Monsma.

Monsma, a member of the Natural Resources Commission and a former senator, was unopposed in Tuesday's Democratic primary for the March 26 special election. Ehlers, a former Kent County commissioner before entering the House in 1 983, received nearly 60 percent of the vote among four GOP candidates. On Wednesday, Ehlers vowed to conduct a "positive campaign" against Monsma for the 32d District seat vacated by former state Sen. Paul Henry, R-Grand Rapids, when he was elected a U.S. representative in November.

Henry's departure at the beginning of the year cut the GOP's edge in the Senate to 19-18. With all 155 precincts reporting final but unofficial returns, Ehlers had 9,371 votes, or 59.3 percent; Grand Rapids pharmacist Henry Fuhs had 4,026 votes, or 25.5 percent; state Rep. Victor Krause of Rockford had 2,331 votes, or 14.7 percent, and retired Friends have described Mrs. deSalle, 80, as flamboyant, with a great love of art and artists a love that often inspired others to obituaries Grand Rapids schoolteacher Joyce Wilson, who did not campaign, had 86 votes. Monsma drew 2,265 votes.

DEMOCRATS SAY a Monsma victory would provide a 19-19 split in the Senate and effectively give them control because Democratic Lt. Gov. Martha Griffiths, the Senate's presiding officer, can break tie votes. Ehlers and Monsma, both former Calvin College professors and sons of Christian Reformed ministers, are viewed as moderates who share a strong interest in environmental concerns and oppose abortion. State GOP Chairman Spencer Abraham said Ehler's "extremely impressive" margin will allow supporters of other candidates to move easily over to Ehlers.

At a GOP fundraising "unity breakfast" Wednesday, Ehlers, Fuhs and Krause gave brief pep talks to about 100 party faithful. Ehlers said the key to his campaign become patrons of the arts. "She was almost like a work of art herself," said Roy Slade, president of Cranbrook Academy of Art. "She loved life and people and art. So many young artists owe so much to her." Mrs.

deSalle, born in Hungary, loved to be surrounded by beautiful things. "That's the way I was brought up. My mother's house was full of art objects," Mrs. deSalle said once.

"In those days, I'd just take them off the wall, carry them to the photography studio and take my photos," she said. Slade said: "She was a remarkable photographer. She was a pioneer as a dealer and photographer." She opened the Little Gallery on E. Maple in 1949.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that: A. A public hearing in this matter will be held at 9:30 AM on March 26, 1985, in the offices of the Commission, Mercantile Building, 6545 Mercantile Way, Lansing, Michigan, which hearing will be in the nature of a prehearing conference and will be held for the purpose of exploring and, if possible, agreeing upon matters which will expedite this proceeding. Any interested persons may attend the hearing and participate, subject to the provisions of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. B. Any person seeking to intervene in accordance with Rule 1 1 of the Rules of Practice and Procedure Before the Commission shall file with the Commission, on or before March 21, 1985, an original and 15 copies of a petition to intervene, together with proof of service upon Consumers Power Company.

C. Consumers Power Company will, at least 10 days prior to the prehearing conference on March 26, 1985, have available for inspection at each of its division offices in its gas and electric service areas a copy of its Application for Reconciliation of Insulation Outreach Program Revenues, and the testimony and exhibits of its witnesses. On December 28. 1984, Consumers Power Company (Consumers) filed an application for reconciliation of program expenditures with revenues collected through its Insulation Outreach Program (IOP) surcharges. On July 7, 1981, the Michigan Public Service Commission (Commission) issued a Temporary Accounting Order in Case No.

U-6871 authorizing Consumers to defer up to $2 million in expenditures for a ceiling insulation program designed to benefit certain low-income customers. On June 29, 1982, the Commission issued its Opinion and Order in Case No. U-6871 authorizing Consumers to institute a ceiling insulation program for low-income customers. Consumers was authorized to recover the costs of the program through IOP surcharges of 1.0 cent per metered Mcf or MMBtu on the monthly bills of all metered gas customers and .01 cent per kWh on all metered electricity sold to retail customers. Consumers' proposal, accepted by the Commission, provided that the surcharges would remain in effect for two years after the date of the order, followed by a reconciliation to match surcharge revenues with program expenditures, with refunds of any excess revenues or a continued surcharge to recover any revenue shortages.

Consumers' IOP terminated on June 30, 1984 and, therefore, in the instant application, Consumers seeks a reconciliation of surcharge revenues and program expenditures. Consumers represents that its total IOP surcharge revenues were $10,251,629, while IOP costs totaled $7,025,830, resulting in a net IOP revenue excess of $3,225,799 as of June 30, 1984. Consumers represents that, of the total revenue excess, $2,130,597 was attributable to electric jurisdictional customers and $1,095,202 was attributable to gas jurisdictional customers. Consumers proposes to allocate and refund those amounts by rate class as part of its Gas Cost Recovery and Power Supply Cost Recovery reconciliations elsewhere Willard Stone, 69, wood sculptor Willard Stone, 69, a nationally acclaimed Indian wood sculptor whose carving "Exodus" is the symbol of the Cherokee Nation.
