f andy íost Vol. 25 SANDY. OREGON. THURSDAY. J NUARY 23. 1964 EIGHT PAGES Insurance Denied Bakers In General Store Fire Filing Deadline Nears For Farm Zone Law The so-called “greenbelt law,” the one passed by-the last Legis lature to enable farmers in “ur ban sprawl areas’’ to continue farming in the face of increased valuation of their property caused by urbanization of surrounding areas, seems to have caused more than its share of confusion. Designed to protect the state as well as the farmer, the law discourages land speculation to the extent that one must have been actively engaged in farming the land for a period of at least two years to get tax relief under the greenbelt coverage. In other words, merely owning or acquiring what had once been farm land does not protect the investor from any higher assessments due to indus trial or urban expansion In the area. There is still much of the new law open to interpretation and apparently much difference of opinion on it, even between coun ties. According to Clackamas County Assessor Dan Hattan, the law will not affect those in areas zoned exclusively for agriculture, but may apply to those or land zoned for other uses. Hatton urges farmers who feel that they are being assessed un fairly due to urban sprawl, or who are in doubt about the appli cation of the law in their partic ular case, to come to his office in Oregon City for a personal interview. Applications for agricultural zoning, which could save individual farmers a considerable amount of money, may be obtained only from the County Assessor’s office. The deadline for filing is January 31.

The surplus now existing will also be used for the ambulance purchase. The ambulance crews are all volunteers, and receive no pay for services rendered. All crew mem bers belong to the department and auxiliary, and are required to carry current Advanced First Aid cards, and radio operators cards. All training is done at their own expense.

(Sandy Post photo) AAA Raps Use Mom and Dad's Club Of Unmarked T ours World Monday Police Cars Police use of unmarked patrol cars to apprehend (raffle violators was hit by Russell E. Singer, executive vice - president of the American Automobile Assn., who labeled the practice as “punitive’’ and a “form of the entrapment.” Patrol cars should be promin ently marked so that they are clearly visible to motorists, said the AAA official. He termed such cars are "living safety posters.” Singer also took issue with the widely-held belief that motorists are responsible for “up to 85 per cent of all traffic accidents,” ex plaining that there are some driv ers who are potential killers, but there are also killer roads, kill er traffic laws, killer signs, sig nals and markings which do not conform to uniform standards and which contribute directly to acci dents. Emphasizing that the American motorist is doing a better job of driving than ever before In his tory and shouldn't be treated as a criminal, the AAA official called for more research into the basic causes of highway mishaps.

The meeting was a result of a petition for consolidation of the two fire departments brought be fore the council late last year. At present the Rural Fire District owns and operates all local fire equipment (Including the new fire house) with the exception of one antiquated city-owned fire truck. The city has a contract with the RFPD to fight Its fires but in case of a fire in a rural area the fire truck would be obligated to go to that fire even if It were engaged In fighting a fire in the city. Now that the consolidation has won their approval ”’e council Is expected to put the question to city voters In an upcoming election. At the present time fire equip ment Is not sufficient for either Sandy or the rural district. San dy will soon have to buy a new fire truck and so will the dis trict. Consolidation would mean that only one truck would have to be purchased and also that the entire area would receive more efficient and more economical fire protection. Attending the meeting which was held In the City Hall Monday night were Mayor Paluck, Councilmen, Lundbom, Mills, Hames, Jonsrud, Morner and Wesselink and Fire Marshall Lyle Seaman. Repre senting the Rural Fire District were Dr. Al. Lamke, Ron Krebs, John Davenport, Melvin Hane berg and Jim Hartman. The suit which requested the court to force payment of a $68,000 insurance policy, $30,000 of It covering the old general store building and home, was denied by a jury of six men and six women. The case was tried before Judge Ralph Holman’s District Court in Oregon City. Over a five-day period the jury heard about 20 witnesses and deliberated over four hours before finding for the defendants. Apart from the $30,000 In surance on the buildings, records show stock was insured at $22,000; furniture and fixtures at $8,000 and personal property at $7,000. Judge Holman limited the maxi mum award possible to$55,176.90. The fire which destroyed the Sandy General Store, a familiar landmark to mountain people, started early In the morning of December 27, 1962 on the day the Baker mortgage was to be foreclosed. The flame for a time threatened to spread to other build ings In the city and burned the store and attached home to the ground. Circumstances surround ing the fire caused the state to bring a charge of arson against Howard Baker, but the case was dismissed last June for lack of evidence. In an Interview yesterday with the Post, Judge Holman said that while Mrs. Baker had a 30-day period in which to file an appeal that as far as he knew she had not yet done so. When asked If the Alts and Meinlgs would re ceive money from the Insurance company for their share of the property loss, Holman said there was a legal question Involved as to whether the policy covered them as they were listed on the policy as mortgagees, when In fact they were conditional sellers. Prior to foreclosure and during the grace period granted, Holman told the Post that the Bakers can still sell the property for anything more than the balance still owed on their original sales contract.

TRUCK EXPERT! ALLAN "ANDY" ANDERSON KNOWS TRUCK "INNARDS" "ANDY" ANDERSON That's because Andy has spent many, many years learning how trucks run and, when they don't run right, why. Andy works at Frank Newell Pontiac-GMC and for the past nine years there has been taking trucks apart and putting them back together—better. People like Andy—experts in their line of work—are the reason truckers prefer Frank Newell's to have their "workin' trucks kept in top running shape . . and that means trucks of any make. Andy is married and lives just east of Sandy The Ander sons have two children—a boy and a girl. FRANK HIH cant pourU NEWELL grexham, Oregon PONTIAC-QMC, INC. Phone MO 5-2166
