SANDY, OREGON, THURSDAY, JAN. 24, 1974
Take It To The People
The Sandy-Boring-Hoodland area is
being s a tu ra te d w ith planning
studies, (See page 1 story.)
But with all these planning studies
being made, the one which seems to
be the most important is the one
which has had the least amount of
publicity or public input. This is the
interim land use study proposed by
C olum bia R egion A ssociation of
Governments (CRAG).
The proposed plan will be before the
general assem bly of this group which
includes representatives of both the
City of Sandy and Clackamas County
for possible adoption. This meeting is
set for Jan. 31, 8 p.m. at the Quay in
Vancouver, Wash.
The im pact of this plan will be great
and we feel the people of this area
need a chance to review the plan
before it goes into effect. There are at
least two meetings on this CRAG plan
set in early February in Sandy, but by
then it will be too late.
CRAG officials state the plan will
be for only about two years (1976) or
until a m ore comprehensive plan is
completed by the agency.
This past legislature gave board
planning powers to this agency and it
appears CRAG is going to use this
power.
But before it adopts this interim
plan, we hope CRAG will take its
proposal to the people.
N e w S treet N am es?
The new county numbering system
in the Boring area is creating some
confusion and bad feelings over the
changing of street nam es and ad­
dresses.
The Sandy area is expected to be
next in line for this new numbering
system which will be done countywide
to help identify exact locations and to
give all properties an exact address.
One draw back, as the residents of
Boring fioand out, is the system calls
for the non-duplication of street
names. So m any of the street names
now fam iliar to us in the Sandy area
could be in for a change if someplace
else in the county has priority on a
street name.
In light of this, Sandy U.S. Post­
m aster John Metsger has .come up
with a good idea: Why not form a
com m ittee to come up with a list of
possible street nam es to be used in
case any local streets must have a
name change.
M etsger suggests the list of nam es
should be based around the Pioneer or
Centennial image of the City of
Sandy. This would fit in well with the
Sandy Area Chamber of Commerce’s
p.an to promote a Pioneer or rustic
design theme for the city this year.
Such street names as Pioneer Way,
Barlow Trail Street or Wagon Wheel
Street would be very fitting for Sandy.
We would go a step further and
suggest a three-person committee
made up of Metsger, a representative
of the Sandy cham ber and the city
council should be formed to begin
making this list.
The citizens of the area could
becom e involved by su b m ittin g
nam es to this committee.
L et’s think ahead, before your
street has a new name like 1234567890

COUNTY BANK
listed at $11.5 million
A report completed earlier
this month revealed Mt. Hood
C om m unity College had a
d ire c t economic im pact of
nearly $11.5 million on the East
County area during the 1972-73
academic year, according to a
college spokesman.
T he fig u re accounts fo r
spending by students, staff and
the college during the past
year. More than 10,000 students
now attend M t. Hood and the
college employs 450 full-time
people and about the same
number of part-tifloe.
Construction was not a factor
in d eterm in in g the dollars
returned to the area.
Students
accounted
fo r
nearly $6 million in spending
last year for everything from
food and housing to clothing
and automobiles. Since Mt.
Hood is a community college it
does not provide housing.
Students either continue to live
at home or rent an apartment
within the campus vicinity.
M an y students also own
homes in this area as the
average age of an MHCC
student is around 24 and many
are married and work in the
community also.
Over 60 per cent of Mt.
Hood’s students have full or
part-time jobs.
College staff expenditures
were figured excluding housing
items and the total came to

It was the first weekend,

shortage, that weather con­

have not been a factor in
keeping crowds down. Thus, it
provided a test, without
complicating factors, of the
effect on skiing participation.
The effect was apparently

managers; although they did

TO THE«
editor !
To the Editor:
This is a copy of a letter I sent
to President Richard Nixon:
It is my recollection that the
Constitution provided specific
powers
fo r
the
federal
governm ent
and
quite
positively reserved all other
powers to the states or the
people.
Can you tell me, and your
other fellow Americans, just
when and where did anything in
the Constitution give the
fed eral
governm ent
any
authority to decree the speed
lim it at which trucks may be
driven (or any other vehicles)
on the roads of any state or
even the streets of Sandy,
Oregon?
Or has M r Nixon allowed
some parts of the Constitution
to be erased along with some
parts of his tapes.
