Bureau of Municipal Research
Functions on Oregon CamDus
by Anne Ritchey
Emerald Feature Editor
One of the lessor-known depart
ments on campus, one which func
tions directly under the college of
liberal arts, is the Bureau of Mu
nicipal Kesearch and Service, lo
cated on the third floor of Com
monwealth.
The Bureau's program of re
search und consultation, done in
the field of municipal government,
is carried on in close co-operation
with the League of Oregon Cities
and other public agencies and or
ganizations.
Work of the Bureau includes
acting as a clearing-house for mu
nicipal information, a point of con
tact for various special-interest
groups and programs, and serving
as a coordination point for activi
ties in the fields of state and local
government.
Closely connected with the re
search bureau, and housed in a
joint office, is the League of Ore
gon Cities, which carries on a
broad program designed to co-ordi
nate the varying aspects of munici
pal programs.
Herman Kehrli is the head of
both these departments, serving
as director of the Bureau and ex
ecutive secretary of the League.
His staff for the two are separate.
Among the Joint projects of the
League and the Bureau arc the
research publications dealing with
municipal government, which are
distributed to state, county and
municipal officials and the assist
ance they give annually to plan
ning a conference of city managers
which is held each February in
Portland.
One of the activities of the Bu
reau alone is the joint sponsorship
of the police training program
which is carried on by the Oregon
Association of City Police Officers
and the Oregon State Sheriffs as
sociation. One of the police sessions
was held recently in Eugene.
Another job of the Bureau is to
assist in the sponsorship of meet
ings of the Oregon Association of
Municipal Judges. In this connec
tion, the Bureau has worked with

Annual conferences of the Lea
gue of Oregon Cities, Oregon Fi
nance Officers association and the
Oregon Association of City Police
Officers are also participated in
by the Bureau.
Principal projects at the present
time are a study of local govern
ment in suburban areas and the
preparation of a model utility fran
chise. Most recent publication of
the Bureau is “A Proposed Build
ing Code for Small Cities.”
The first Northwest Airport
Management conference, held on
campus in April of 1953, was co
sponsored by the Eureau.
In connection with service to
University students, the Bureau
maintains a reference library con
sisting of reference books, pam
phlets, reports, periodicals and or- j
dinances relating to state and mu- !
nicipal governmental administra-'
tion and finance. This library con-;
tains approximately 13,000 books
and pamphlets.
Both the Bureau and the League j
are comparable in structure and
function to agencies of the same
type in other states. In most states
they are located in University
town::, and have the same con
nections with university organiza
tions as this one.
