starting wage for unskilled help
will be $2.50 per hour and up.
Skilled employees will receive
$3 per hour and up. Men and
women of equal skills, working
at identical jobs, will receive
identical rates of pay.
Fitzen pointed out that at
the company’s minimum wage
figure, 28 employees working
eight hours a day, five days a
w eek, would constitute a
$12,000 payroll monthly. A
24-hour operation is planned as
soon as possible.
If, after one year, the first
phase of operations should
meet expectations. Fitzen said
a second phase, utilizing about
125
employees would be
instituted. This working on an
eight hour day basis, would
mean a minimum monthly
p a y ro ll o f approximately
$55,000.
Portland Balks on Service District
To Include M ost of Three Counties
Portland was last to be
heard Thursday at the hearing
to establish the boundaries for
a metropolitan (tri-county)
multi-purpose service district.
But Portland was the first to
make serious objections to the
creation of a district.
Richard Braman, Portland
deputy city attorney, made
three principal objections.
He said Portland would not
be fairly represented under the
law created by SB 494.
He feared the taxing power
of such a district, and also
objected to the boundaries as
proposed.
He got a stinging answer
fro m Commissioners David
Eccles, who called Braman’s
statement “ the most flagrant
example of parochialism I have
ever seen.”
A seven men board would
govern the district composed
of one member selected by the
Portland City Council; one
selected by the mayors of cities
in Multnomah County other
than Portland, one selected by
mayors in each of the other
two counties; and one member
each selected by commissioners
of the three counties.
Braman claimed this gave
Portland only one-seventh of
the vote. Eccles counter by
saying that he had been elected
by people of the county which
includes Portland and he felt
he represented Portland as well
as the outer county.
Braman claimed that the
governing board would be
required to levy a 4 to 1 per
cent tax on all the property of
the district which would total
Eccles denied the charge. He
said the
to 1 per cent levy
was simply a ceiling for a tax
base to voted on by the people.
Also, he said, levies would
be made to those who received
service in the same manner as
sewer assessments are now
made. However, some of the
general levy might be used for
administrative purposes.
Sewage disposal was the
principal concern of those
speaking at the hearing. But SB
494 gives authority to control
solid waste, operate a mass
transportation system, and
control flooding (Like Johnson
Creek).
about $28 million.
He said people would be
paying for sewer service in one
section of the district but not
necessarily receiving service.
Braman claimed the bill was
illegal. Eccles said he should
have made such a charge when
hearings on the bill were held
by the legislature.

Braman countered that he
wanted to, but was told that
doing so might prevent passage
of
HB
1 8 0 8 , a mass
transportation bill favored by
the city of Portland.
Braman also objected to the
proposed boundaries of the
service district. He said they
excluded Sandy and Boring
fro m
being in a mass
transportation system.
Eccles said the boundaries
c o u ld
be ch ang ed
by
annexation the same as cities
annex areas - by petition from
the people involved.
Before Braman testified a
number of persons representing
government agencies and civic
groups spoke to say they
favored the district,
Among them were Arnold
Evans, Gresham recorder, and

O tto , m a y o r o f

favored the concept o f a
multi-service district but would
make no further commitment
until more was learned about
its financing and goals.
Others speaking favor of the
district were representatives of
th e
Portland Chamber of
C om m erce, th e
building
contractors and the Portland
Home Builders.
An additional meeting on
the boundary issue was held
last night at the Washington
County Courthouse.

County Courthouse at 7:30
