Senate
approves
lottery Inil
LANSING (A -- The state
Senate passed a bill setting
up a state lottery by a vote
of 25-7 yesterday. The mea-
sure now goes to the House
where similar legislation is
in committee.
The bill passed was sponsor-
ed by S=n. John McCauley (I-
Grosse Isle). who said if the bill
is quickly passed by the House
and signd by the governor. a
lottery could be in effect by
fall.
Sponsors of the bill soy a
state lottery could add $75 mil-
lion a year to the state general
fund. However, detractors claim
the actual figure could be clos-
er to $30 milion.
McCauley's bil wsouTd ive 40
per cent of thoe ross revenus
to the general fund with the
other 55 per cnt being sud to
pay winners and expenses.
The McCauley bill does not
authorize either local lotteries
or bingo gaes by charitable
institutions.
Originally. McCauley's bill
would have allowed for lo-
cal lotteries, unlike a similar bill
bill in the House sponsored by
Rep. Bob Traxler (D-Bay CityE.
The bill passed yesterday al-
so taps Gov. William Milliken as
the man to name an all-respon-
sible commissioner of the lot-
tery agency.
"It's like a pot of gold sit-
ting out there in the middle of
the floor," says one close ob-
server of the lottery issue.
"Those guys can all see jobs
and commissions and patronage
and money, and they all want
to grab hold of something."
The state is allowed to spon-
sor a lottery under a constitu-
tional amendment approved by
state voters earlier this month.
Rep. Ray Smith (R-Ann Ar-
bor) wants lottery revenues
earmarked for the state's capi-
tal outlay program, which in-
cludes all construction and
renovation of state - owned
buildings and facilities.

According to Housing Director

with stopping at Fuller Pool cen-
ter on "safety considerations."
The Department of Transpor-

the Fuller Pool parking lot is too
difficult for buses to negotiate
and stopping in the road itself
is too dangerous.
In an attempt to reconcile the
tenants and the Transportation
Department, Feldkamp is plan-
ning a tour of the area for all
interested parties sometime next
week.
Rather than waiting for 7eld-
