Schwartz recalls first paving of Bluff
When M arie Schwartz was learn
ing to drive, steering wasn't a pro
blem. The ruts on Bluff Road were
so deep a car would follow them as
a m atter of course.
Schwartz’s father, A C . Baum-
back, helped change that. He was
foreman of the crew that put down
the first rock bed. There is a
p h o to g ra p h in th e “ S and y
P ioneers, E a rly Settlers and
Barlow Road Days” of a rock
crusher on Bluff Road. It was the
first in the area to use electricity.
The picture is dated 1918.
Schwartz said rock was hauled
up the bluff — near the bend in the
Sandy River — on a trestle, crush
ed and distributed along the road
way by horse and wagon.
In mid-October, people who use
B luff Road will enjoy a smooth ride
M arie Schwartz never knew when
she was learning to drive. But first
they must endure two months of
construction.
Jim Turin, president of Jim
Turin and Sons Inc., paving con
tractors, said they would start in
front of Sandy Union High School,
just north of Hood Street, and
replace the east lane of traffic, and
then the west lane.
That w ill allow one-way traffic,
which w ill flow north from U.S.
Highway 26 to Kelso Road.
Turin and Sons was one of four
contractors to bid on the project.
They had the low bid, which was
8639,850.
A hearing on the local improve
ment district was held in August
1964. About 70 people attended the
meeting in the Sandy High com
mons, and residents opposed to the
project worked during a 15-minute
break to come up with enough
waivers of remonstrance to halt
formation of the local improve
ment district.
Just over SO percent of the
residents along the bluff — with
votes based on acreage — were in
favor of the project. The City Coun
cil had agreed not to form a local
improvement district if more than
half the residents were opposed.
Despite a good deal of testimony
in opposition, Councilman Dick
Harrison said to vote against the
Bluff Road project would be to vote
for potholes. The City Council ap
proved the formation of a local im
provement district by a vote of 6-1.
A federal grant, administered
through Clackamas County, will
pay about $608,000 of the project
The city’s share jumped from
827.600 — the 1964 estimate — to
$122,200 The local improvement
district's share remained the same
at 870,000.
Turin said they will excavate the
roadway and put down a layer of
cement-treated rock base, which
requires four days to cure. Then
they will apply a 2-inch layer of
asphalt. Next year, they will apply
another 2-inch layer of asphalt
Konell Construction Company
Inc , of Sandy, will do the excava
tion work. Portland East Rock
Products, of Brightwood, will sup
ply the rock.
To meet the state's 11 percent
financing requirement for minori
ty or disadvantaged hiring, T P T
Services Inc. will mix cement-
tre‘ ,ed base. Salt and Pepper Con
struction w ill haul rock, and
Kaspac Company will put in the
drainage curb.
To meet the state’s 1 percent
fin a n c in g
re q u ire m e n t to r
women’s enterprises. M R Pierce
Constructors will handle the flagg
ing duties.
Turin said two flaggers will be on
the job during construction.
Telephone lines along the route
will be buried underground, accor
ding to Mike Walker, public works
director for the city of Sandy.
“ We appreciate the cooperation
of PG E and G TE for the timeliness
of moving their poles," Turin «aid
Construction began Wednesday
The state requires that construc
tion be completed by Oct. IS

Boring faces unification, boundary questions
A bid to unify the Sandy Union High
School District with its feeder schools
could mean big changes for 40 per
cent of the students in the Boring
School District.
But a second proposal by Boring
parents to change Gresham Union
High School's boundaries to include
all of the Boring School District
would mean changes for high school
students.
Currently, about 60 percent of the
students in Boring School District

computer classes.
The loss of students also would a f
fect extra-curricular activities such
as athletics, drama and music, Steb-
beds said.
According to her figures, the
district's tax rate would increase by
about 73 cents per $1,000 assessed
value. But Greg McKenzie, an a t
torney for the petitioners, said accor
ding to his calculations, the tax rate
would change by 1 cent per 81,000.
Karen Howell, who started the peti
tion drive, addressed other issues
The fact that Boring students go on to
attend two different high schools
results in split friendships and
rivalries, she said. It also poses pro
blems for teachers who must prepare
students for a different curriculum at
each high school.
If the boundary is not changed and
unification of the Sandy district oc
curs, it will leave 185 students
without a school, Howell said. She
noted that the school is a focal point
for the Boring community.
“ Parents have wanted the situa
tion changed for a long time, but we
never though we could do anything
about it ," she said.
reside within Sandy Union High
School District boundaries and at
tend Sandy High School. The remain
ing 40 percent live in the Gresham
Union High School District and a t
tend Sam Barlow High School.
A group of Boring residents has
petitioned the Multnomah Education
S e r v ic e
D is t r ic t
to
c h an g e
Gresham’s boundaries to include all
of Boring School District. I f the group
succeeds, all Boring graduates will
go to Barlow.
The group initiated the boundary
change in response to efforts by some
Sandy residents to consolidate Sandy
Union High School District with all
the grade school districts that feed
into it. The consolidation question
w ill be on the Nov. 4 ballot.
The issue will not be settled by the
Multnomah Education District. If the
M ESD grants the boundary change,
it then will be considered by the
C la c k a m a s E d u c a tio n S e rv ic e
District. Boring School District is in
Clackamas County.
However, facts under considera
tion by the education service districts
could be changed by the Nov. 4 elec
tion. Voters in the portion of Boring
that is also in the Gresham Union
o
o
High School District will not vote in
the election. Boring residents cur
rently in the Sandy Union High
School District will.
Even if a m ajority of Boring voters
vote against consolidation, they
could be outnumbered by a majority
of Sandy voters.
Consolidation would mean Boring
School District would be left with 40
percent of its students and 4C percent
of its assets, or about $2.1 million.
Sixty percent of the district's assets,
or about 83.8 million, would go to San
dy. That includes the district's two
buildings.
