■ The Little Rock Sewer Committee Tuesdays authorized an application for federal funds to help pay for separating two combination storm and sanitary sewer lines in the East End that permit raw sewage to flow into the Arkansas River. Garver and Garver, Inc., an engineering firm that has developed plans for separating the sewer lines, will make the application. One of the lines flows into the river at the foot of Pepper Street and the other enters the river just east of the freeway. The lines collect drainage and sanitary sewage from a large area in the East End.

■ Little Rock police are searching for about $20,000 in bronze sculptures that were taken from a downtown park. As a Little Rock Parks and Recreation Department worker did a morning inspection of Riverfront Park late last week, he noticed three sculptures missing from the Vogel Schwartz Sculpture Garden, police said. The bronze pieces may have been taken to a scrap yard, authorities said. The stolen sculptures include a 2-foot section of “long-legged man looking up,” a 3-foot-tall sculpture of two storks in flight and a 1- foot-tall female dancer, police said.
