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

Attending the meeting as guests
were Mavor Arlo JacUbn, City

Parcel Post Rate
Slated For Boost
WASHINGTON (AP) Parcel
post rates will go up soon, but
i most likely after the Christmas
mailing rush is over.
An 88-milliondollar-a-year in
crease was approved by the In
terstate Commerce Commission
Friday. This averages to a 17.1 per
cent boost over current rates.
The Post Office Department said
it would announce next week when
the new rates go into effect. Re
ports were that officials would give
the public at least a 60-day notice.
Under the law, the postmaster
general has to ask for an increase
in parcel post rales whenever that
aspect of the postal business is in
the red.
Levity Fact Rant
By L. F. Reizenstein
To Ye Olde Towne Hall:
Here once I stood 3-score-
and-ten,
In turn revered, patched up
and then
Brick by brick did I disappear,
Mid mockery and unkind jeer;
Welcome at last, my glory
thorn,
Wat the toot of Gabriel't blot
ted horn;
From my toul en the moon
I'll daily thy
Brickt on you to remember me
