The utility is rot privately owned, however It is a municipal plant, and because of this questions have arisen about whether these payments are Justifiable Why should a municipal plant have to pay money to the city7 Proponents of this view point out mat the department could be using this money to lower its rates After all, they ask, who is the utility serving the consumers or the city7 This idea appeals to most penny- conscio- us citizens, but the problem is more complex than this line of thinking might suggest. PILOT consists of a 7 per cent receipts charge which is included in the customers' monthly utility bills and a charge comparable to a property tax, based on the assessed value of the department's physical plant. The rationale for thepayments is that the department is a business and should be operated as such. " People should remember Columbia's Water and Light Department is a business that just happens to be owned by the government," City Finance Director Mike Scanlan says " It should be construed as a business although it's publicly owned."

He said the group, which met Friday night, also plans to seek a performance audit of the school district by the state aoditar'a office Bartolacci, who led the petition drive which compelled the Columbia Board of Education to put a busing proposal on the Nov 2 ballot, said there are " a lot of different safety areas" the group plans to consider. He said increased traffic congestion around schools, increased chances of motorists hitting children walking along busy streets and possible delinquency are some of the problems resulting from the transportation cuts the school board made last summer in a budget- cuttin- g effort The board limited free transportation at secondary schools to students living 3 roues ( 5 6 kilometers) or more from school Previously, all secondary students living two miles ( 3 2 kilometers) or more from school had free bus service About 800 students were affected by the change The petition asked for a vote to provide bus service for all students living one- ha- lf mile ( 8 kilometer) or more from school This year, the school board did not change service for elementary students, who nde free if they live a mile or more from school The petition requested that these children also be eligible for the one- ha- lf mile service To finance the proposed increased bus service, the school board placed a 19- ce- nt tax rate increase on the Nov 2 ballot Bartolacci said parents are not the only targets of the campaign He said the group needs to show how drivers in the city are affected by the risk of hitting kids " The group also will try ' to get the college vote," Bartolacci said Members of the group are looking into printing and advertising costs, Bartolacci said ' When we find out what the cost is, we'll figure out how to ( best publicize) the issue " The group also plans to petition the state auditor's office to conduct a performance audit of the school district The petition needs to be signed by 5 per cent of the qualified voters in the district, based on the number of votes cast in the last gubernatorial election ( 1972) Bartolacci said he thinks about 1,200 signatures would be enough " I think there's a real credibility problem between the school system, the board and the people I think it is ( a result of) the political atmosphere in America today," Bartolacci said " If the auditor learns everything is fine," Bartolacci said, " I think credibility would be restored to the board 4We do not feel there are any particular improprieties " It would be " just an independent, outside view of the district," he said Research yields sex treatments By John H.
