Public Works Official To Retire
Representative Rod McKen
zie (R) Sixes, was named to the
Subcommittee on Submerged
and Submersible Lands, one of
the three subcommittees de
signated by Senator Robert Elf-
strom (R) Salem, chairman of
the legislative Land Board Ad
visory Committee.
Other members serving with
McKenzie are: Rep.Jason Boe
(D) Reedsport, chairman, and
Rep.Tom Young, (R) Baker, a t
torney.
McKenzie said that since Ore
gon is considered largely a com
mon law state in so far as laws
are concerned affecting riparian
rights on submerged and sub
mersible lands,there is need for
careful review to provide great
est protection for the irreduci
ble school fund and to fit the
times with increasing demands
of recreation and industry.
McKenzie said the subcom
m ittee will report to the full
committee and the full com
m ittee in turn will advise the
L a n d Board and recommend
legislation, if it is necessary, to
the legislature.
McKenzie said many of the
problems that come before the
committee may require court
solutions in lieu of legislative
remedies.
Public Works S u p t. Frank
Morris, Sr., will retire from 14
years service with the city on
December 31 of this year, it was
decided in city council action
at a special meeting Tuesday
night.
The action came after a sug
gestion from water commission
er Jim Peterson, who said he had
a s k e d Morris to retire next
month because of his age, 69.
The commissioner said Morris
had done a good job for the city,
had worked well with him, but
that he felt the position should
be turned over to a younger man
because the position was be
coming increasingly more dif
ficult because of the new sewer
system and water system up
grading.
Morris, given an opportunity
to make a statement to the
council, said it was his under
standing that he had been re
hired last February for another
four years but that he had plan
ned on retiring the end of June,
1971, and would like to stay on
the job until then. "I don't think
the council realizes how much
work is involved with the water
system, " Morris told the coun
cil, adding that he had tried to
save the city money, had mis
sed one vacation and was a l
ways willing to work nights and
weekends when routine or em
ergency work demanded it.
