NEWS-PRESS, FRIDAY, JUNE 12, 1992 3B 3ES Tax on governments studied Fort Myers may end exemption for Lee, state, U.S. CattwaDEts Special underpasses save panthers, others By The Associated Press "I'm looking for ways to supplement them," Hoffman said. Smith said the city needs more information before deciding to recommend the change. "We certainly don't want to get into a situation where we're taxing other governments when those taxes aren't customary," Smith said. "However, if it's being done everywhere else then we may consider doing if it's been an oversight on our part." If other cities statewide collect the tax on other governments, then Fort Myers may consider doing the same thing, Smith said.

Hoffman doesn't have an estimate of what the new charge would bring in. County officials say the city is home to 15 county buildings. That includes the justice center, the county administration building, Shady Rest Nursing Home and the Lee County Children's Home, which; receive utility services. The federal courthouse and the new state office center would be added to the taxable list Hoffman estimates it would be October before the city could begin collecting the taxes. City council approval would be needed.

Bruce Loucks, acting management and budget director for Lee. County, said the county, too, is experiencing budget problems and an' additional expense would only make matters worse. Hoffman said they city also is studying changing how it charges the phone service tax. Now, the 10 percent fee is only on local calls. Officials are looking to drop the rate to 7 percent, but also charge on long distance calls, he said.

estimates only 30 to 50 of the cats survive. Scientists feared fencing the entire interstate would simply divide the panther population into two smaller, less viable populations, so the underpasses were added to a plan to widen the old Alligator Alley from two to four lanes. Five cats were killed on the road from 1979 to 1989. "The leading cause of mortality for the panther has been that they've been hit by cars, so with the increased traffic and speeds on a four-lane highway, panthers would have been even more susceptible to collisions," said Melissa L. Foster, a student who worked with Humphrey.

The state Department of Transportation has committed to install 24 wildlife underpasses and fencing on each side to direct animals to the tunnels at a cost of 1 3 million. Eight have been completed. GAINESVILLE Highway underpasses built to save the endangered Florida panther are so successful that other species are using them to avoid risky road crossings, says a two-year study released Thursday. "What we know is the method works, and works for a wide variety of wildlife," said study author Stephen Humphrey, an ecologist at the Florida Museum of Natural History. "So far, no panthers have been killed since this section of interstate has been modified." Panthers stalk through the Interstate 75 underpasses at night, deer graze in them during the day and wading birds and raccoons feed in their pools of water, the University of Florida professor said.

Photographs and monitors also have captured owls swooping down on prey and a bobcat carrying a cotton rat in its mouth. The highway cuts through a large portion of the panther's range in Big Cypress National Preserve and adjacent areas between Miami and Naples. The state soon as expected. Circuit Judge Gasper J. Ficar-rotta on Wednesday extended the deadline to July 13 for return of the videotape of Alfred Stephens and Janet Paddock to its owner, Lee Adler.

The couple were arrested last July and charged with felonies after Adler videotaped them inside Stephens' condominium. New power plant TALLAHASSEE State environmental officials have given preliminary approval to a plan that could allow completion of a controversial coal-fired power plant in Jacksonville. Despite objections from environmentalists and citizens groups, Department of Environmental Regulation officials told state Cabinet aides Wednesday that AES Cedar Bay has come up with a more environmentally sensitive package. Breakaway plan MIAMI Residents of trendy Coconut Grove, frustrated over a growing crime rate, want the option of breaking away from Miami and By LAURA GOLDBERG News-Press Staff Writer In its quest to find more money, Fort Myers is considering a tax on other governments. The city charges a 10 percent fee on water, electric and local phone services.

The public service tax brings in about $4.4 million a year. But, governments such as the state, federal and county, are exempt. With Fort Myers facing a budget shortfall Mayor Wilbur Smith said the city is studying the idea. City departments have been told to cut their budgets for next year by 7 percent. Ken Hoffman, director of the city's office of management and budget, said other revenues collected by the state and county and shared with cities are down.
