i. cf o. .1 , FLOOPS SWEEP PACIFIC NORTHW City Repair Plans Given Citizens' Aid By BRAD SLACK News-Review Staff Writer The disaster recovery program for Roseburg gained momentum Friday with the appointment of a citizens committee which will sup port local efforts lo speed redevel opment. Launched by the Roseburg Chamber of Commerce UDarcl of directors, the group named Kind Ramberg its chairman. Members' will be known as the Citiwiis Com mittee' on Redevelopment of the Uisasler Area. Ram berg said today the present ll-man committee of c;iy and Douglas County businessmen will be expanded to around 50 persons in the next few weeks representing various local clubs and organiza tions. first action taken by the new committee was to recommend the City Council, the Douglas Coumy Court and Oregon State Highway Commissioners meet "as soon as possible" to discuss available re sources which can be thrown into construction of a new bridge and other phases of recovery plans. "If proposals ottered by profes sional planners and the Roseburg planning Commission earlier this month can be financed, they should be followed through," the citizens committee resolved. Tentative Endorsement Given In doing so, members gave ten tative endorsement to the program drafted by city planner! on Nov. 12 and recommended to the Coun cil. It established a bridge using the Washington Ave. alignment, and would handle cast-west trafiic by a high level span overpassing SE Pine, Stephens and the railroad tracks, reaching ground level at SK Rose St. Citizens Committee members pointed out a new South Umpqua River span is still the key to any redevelopment program the city undertakes. They said for this rea son they are recommending a meeting with Highway Commis sioners to determine whai funds are available. It would be up to state highway authorities to ask the Buieau of Public Roads for support. The agencv also would have to approve final plans adopted for a bridge and probably would be concerned with a connection west of the river to Harvard Ave. and U.S. High way 99. The County Court has smd it will participate- to some extent in the bridge project, and the rest of the program would be up to the city to finance. There has been no commitment to date, however, from either the state highway de partment or BPR. Named to the citizens commit tee along with Ramberg at the Friday luncheon meeting in tnc L'mpqua Hotel were the following businessmen: EH Nolle. Ralnh DcMoisy, Aaron Boe. Rex Roberts, Ken Fold. Hans Hansen, Fred Lockwou.1. Geoige West. Si Dillard, H. C. Wells, Rich ard Coen. George 1-u o m a and Charles Stanton.
