The Sandy-Hoodland and Boring areas would be in those rural areas to be dropped from the Tri-Met District. Tri-Met officials had objected to a reduction in the district, saying they could lose federal funds. Rep. Jack Anunsen, R- Salem, said com m ittee chairman Roger Martin, R- Lake Oswego, checked with the U.S. Departm ent of T ra n sportation and Rep. Wendell Wyatt. R-Ore., and decided the claim was "inaccurate.” The bill also says that an employer whose payroll is less than $4,000 a year, or whose tax is less than $10, shall be exempt from the tax.

The council refered the Stewart request back to the planning commission which met last night but adjourned too late for press time.

Councilman Duff stated a need for a member of the planning commission to be present at all council meetings to give reports in depth on what the planning commission has decided, ra th e r than just supplying the council w ith minutes from the meeting Duff stated that “ the lack of communications between the two city bodies has caused a lot of hard feelings in this com munity because people get told one thing by the planning commission and another thing by the city council.” Once the person get the two different views he often then in the past has felt he can go ahead and do something else "This has got to stop, its the city's fault and we had better start abiding by the rules,” said Duff All the councilmen agreed lessons at the school and was conducted with the help of the Forestry Service.
