A Special Thanks
Sands can be proud of its parade

community in the state.
Congratulations must go to all those
who put so much work in on the
preparation and running of the
parade
One person who deserves special

in the Mt Hood area This is only part
of the total 150.000 acres in the Mt.
Hood area
Planning guidelines are needed for
the whole mountain area, not just
certain sections.
The interagency planning study
now underway of the Mt. Hood region
proposes to include this total area in a
planning study.
It will be interesting to watch and

A n o th e r Petition Drive U nder Way
Shades of 1971 . a petition drive is
under way to get 26.656 signatures
seeking referral of a legislative action
to the voters.
In 1971, it was city-county con
solidation which was target of the
petition drive, a drive that barely
failed
This time it’s legislative action
annexing Clackamas and Washington
counties to the Port of Portland
without approval by the voters.
Not very many people disagree
with the Port's ambitions to broaden
its tax base But a whole lot of people
think they should have the right to
decide at the ballot box.
An inconsequential tax levy is in
volved It will cost a person with a
$20.000 house only $3.20 per year more
in taxes But as the man said, it's not
the price, it’s the principle People
should have a chance to vote.
If the petition drive is successful, it
will be on the Nov. 1974 ballot,
statewide The Port figures that about
$1,000,000 per year can be generated
from taxpayers in Clackamas and
Washington counties.
Residents of Multnomah county w ill
have a difficult choice. They may get
a reduction in their own Port taxes if
the
load
is
spread
more
widely
i.e., over Clackamas and
Washington counties But on the other
hand, they may not be wild about
legislative fiats which spread taxes
without a popular vote.
It should be an interesting cam
paign We ll gladly sign a petition if
proffered.

M o u n tain Waits for O v e ra ll Plan
The Clackamas County Planning
Commission gave its support to the
Mt Hood Community comprehensive
plan. This is the first step to be taken
to give some planning guidelines and
restrictions to the mountain area
The plan has been in the making for
over two years and many arguments
both pro and con have occurred
during this period.
The county planners in adopting the
plan, have tried to make the plan
restrictive by adding some seven
pages of amendments which were
said to “ strengthen the plan
The major flaw of this plan is it
