Incorporation Cost Would Be Less Than District Jobs, Winston Community Told - "It would cost more in the long run for the Winston 1 community to form its own sanitary, fire, water and road districts than to incorporate." A crowd of over 100 persons jammed into the Winston Community Club heard speaker Dudley Walton, Roseburg attorney, make this statement in favor of incorporation for the community Thursday night. Cost previously haid been considered the main obstacle in the path of incor poration by Winston residents. v Members of the audience par ticipated freely in a question and answer period following Walton's talk, and most of the discussion was favorable to incorporation, Mrs. George Bacher, News-Re-View correspondent, reported. A tentative boundary line for incorporation into a city was out lined by A. E. Suksdorf. The line would run from the North Dillard Bridge to the south side of Look ingglass. Road, taking in Snow's Addition to the west and including a - portion of Winston Section, to the Winston bridge. A Community Club road fact finding committee reported that roads in the Suksdorf Orchard Ad dition were so poor the school bus refused to enter to pick up chil dren and that "the County has' re fused to accept responsibility." Cost Committee Named Another four-man fact finding committee was appointed at the meeting to investigate the cost of and and gravel and rent of a grader to build roads so the school uses could enter. The roads 16-foot strips ditched and graveled would be temporary until the incorporation matter could be settled. Cost would be ap proximately $25 to $30 to each own er of lots bordering on the streets. Another public meetings on the road situation and the general in corporation matter will be held Dec. 4 at Ihe Community Hall, since no actual conclusions were reached at the Thursday, meeting. Gordon Carlson, Roseburg at torney, who was scheduled to speak at the meeting, sponsored jointly by the Community. Club and Winston Chamber of Commerce, could not attend, so Walton spoke in his stead. , CAR KILLS AGED MAN BEND lifl A- Christian Tinner, 77, was killed here last night as he walked home from a visit to a neighbor..
