MARCH 12, 1964 Government Camp Rest Rooms On Highway Commission Agenda tistics: (1) A maximum of 30.000 people have used the area on a single Sunday. (2) Present facilities are lim ited to ten privately maintained rest rooms, resulting in intol erable conditions both from the viewpoint of health and of service to the travelling public. (3) Oregon maintains 188 state parks, none of which are located in Clackamas County, according to Dick Wilmot, county park supt. (4) The highway department has provided such facilities for both Depoe Bay and Crown Point. Area businessmen, taking these four points into consideration, feel they should not be asked to bear the cost of a program to pro vide needed services when state and federal agencies provide them elsewhere and receive revenue for such purposes. Clackamas County Commission er Darrell Jones, in an inter view with a Post reporter last Friday, contacted State Highway Commission Chairman Glen Jack- son on the issue of state built rest rooms in Government Camp. Jackson informed Jones that this would be brought before the high way commission meeting sche duled for Thursday, March 12. Richard E. Burke, Jr., USFS Recreational Director for the Mt. Hood National Forest, stated their position on Government Camp san itary facilities. He pointed out that the Forest Service does not have control over property adjacent to the local system. Though their engineers are working on the pro blem. there are no immediate plans for building these units. Discussion of possible sites for public rest rooms in Government Camp revealed the following sta- County Building Code Is in Effect Here Clackamas County Commis sioners have expanded the present building code area to encompass all the unincorporated portions of Clackamas county lying east of the Willamette river, and extend ing north and east of the Clack amas river to the easterly bound- ry of the county. This new area, particularly that section of the county along the Multnomah county line between Milwaukie and Sandy, is one of the fastest growing areas in the state. The adoption of the build- ing code for these areas means that substandard structures from other areas cannot now be moved into this area. With the adoption of the uni form building code by Multnomah county on March 1, it was an- Easter Egg Hunt The 5th annual Jaycee Easter egg Hunt is approaching. It will be held on the Sandy High School gounds Easter Day at 3 p.m. There will be 1000 eggs and a grand prize in each age group plus other prizes for the lucky egg finders. Children through age 12 will be eligible. Lot’s of fun— lot’s of prizes--rain or shine! Pioneer Injured In Collision Nettie Connett, well known mountain area personality, is re ported recovering at Gresham General Hospital where she was taken following a collision between her pick-up and a truck-trailer rig at the intersection of Beers St., Sandy and Highway 26 Wednesday afternoon. ■ S HOOD RIVER ticipated that large numbers of substandard structures would have been brought across the county line and would have resulted in a hodge-podge of buildings barely fit for human habitation. In ad dition, the building code is an insurance policy for the prospec tive home builder in that he may be assured that all buildings, which have been built under the code, and inspected by county building inspectors, will have met all the requirements of the uniform build ing code and are of quality con struction. The expansion of the building code for these areas means that building permits will be required for all construction. Building per mits may be obtained from the Clackamas County planning Com mission office, Room 9, County Court House, Oregon City. Although building plans are re quired under the code, it is not mandatory that the plans be drawn by an architect or engineer. The code also covers alterations, mov ing, demolition or repair of struc tures. Applications for building permits shall be made in the same manner as for new const ruc tion, and inspection shall be made as required. At the present time, Clackamas County does not issue permits for plumbing or electrical work. These permits will have to be obtained, as they have in the past, from the State of Oregon. Many questions may arise con cerning construction in the hither to unaffected areas. These may be answered by calling Mr. Rus- sei of the building department of the Clackamas County Planning Commission in the County Court House, Oregon City, 656-2641, Ext. 205. Crowds numbering as high as 30,000 use tlie Government Camp area in a single day. Privately owned rest rooms number ten! There is a serious need for slate or federal built and maintained facilities of this kind. At the March 10 Sandy Cham ber of Commerce luncheon Harold Edes spoke on the proposed Clack amas County airport to lie locat ed near Oregon City. One reason for the location is that the air port must lie located in a con centrated area in order to get Federal aid for the project. This is not, he added, designed nor contemplated for use by plea sure craft. Its principle purpose is to provide landing space for executive aircraft and in this way promote industrial growth. The cost will amount to some $900,000 — Clackamas County funds to lie matched by federal funds. When completed, the air port will be self-supporting. The chamber voted to favor this fac ility. John Mills stated that city build ing codes are being violated. In particular, he pointed out, one building now in the process of construction is in violation of the entire code. Mills said that the city council is up in arms and is going to enforce Its building code even if it means arrests. Mayhem Set for Ambulance Fund 1 Clackamas County Commissioner Darrell Jones and Clack amas County Park Superintendent Dick Wilmot ponder the problem of the Sleepy Hollow dump near Brightwood. Both were cooperative and are seeking a solution to the problem.

In an interview with a Post reporter Friday Darrell Jones, County Commissioner, stated that an immediate effort would tie made to establish a new s^te.

Clackamas County Park Super- Imendent Dick Wilmot explained Jaycees, Jaycettes Attend Board Meeting Mothers! This is a common sight at any Government Camp rest room.
