Bus Routes Face Cut
Changes in several Gresh
am-area bus lines loom as the
result of a court decision hand
ed down last week.
The so-called “Blue Bus”
lines, serving the suburban
area, were denied relief sought
in a decision by Circuit Court
Judge Virgil Langtry. They had
sought to halt incursions by
Portland's Rase City Transit
into suburban areas.
As a result, E. G. Larson,
owner of the Blue bus lines,
said that at least two changes
are in the offing which would
affect the Gresham area.
One would be elimination of
service on Bluff road to Sandy,
the other would eliminate
Gresham-Boring service.
Larson said no final decision
has been made but elimination
of the routes is under consid
eration. He explained that the
ability of Rose City to siphon
off service close to Portlanl
made it difficult to support
marginal lines further out.
He also said that no decision
had yet been made as to a
possible appeal to the court
action, or whether to seek relief
in the state legislature.
State law presently gives the
Portland city council authority

Engineer Martin Boatwright
exhibited maps of a new sewer
line to run from University to
Slinset streets and explained
the advantages of the proposed
use of a portable pumping sta
tion.
Boatwright also recommend
ed that the city purchase aerial
maps for future use in planning
water and drainage development
and sub-division plats.
Plans for reducing the haz
ards of Bluff Road near the high
school entrance were heard.
This improvement would be
done in conjunction with the
county, the council was toki,
and would include reducing the
hump at the intersection of Bluff
and Hood and straightening out
the dangerous curve in the
area.
Consideration of several an
nexation requests, including a
new one of Mr. and Mrs. Willie
Proctor, for their property on
Lange ns a nd Rd., was delayed
pending recommendations by
the City Planning Commission.

known as ZAMO, met with the

Commissioners

City. Tuesday night and as they
continued their fight against
present county zoning legisla
tion.
ZAMO members want an
election to determine if the
zoning should be continued on
the approximate 500 square
miles cf rural area that was
ordered under zoning coverage
last March.
The county commissioners
have stated they were within
their rights to zone the area
without a popular vote cf the
pec*>le, while Z AMO wants an
election to decide if the zoning
will remain. ZAMO also asks
that the vote be limited to the
people living in the rural areas
affected by the zoning and not
include persons living In the
more populated areas.
A Dec. 30 order Issued by
the commissioners that re
moved restrictions on agricul
tural buildings In rural areas
has satisfied some protesters
but, in the minds cf others,
does not go far enough.
At the Tuesday night meet
ing an agreement was reported
to have been reached with be
tween the Board of Commis
sioners and the ZAMO steerl^
committee to begin the neces
sary procedures to place the
issue on a ballot some time in
the future.
However, in emphasizing the
importance of zoning, Commis
sioner Skoko Tuesday night
said, “Zoning Is for the pro
tection of property against
nuisances and undesirable in
dustry.” Skoko told listeners
the commissioners intend to
keep that protection In Clacka
