KNOTT STREET MALL
Eliot redevelopment project underway
For several months construction has
blocked traffic in the Eliot neighborhood
as major charges are made on Williams.
Rodney. Russell. Knott and other streets
in the neighborhood.
This construction is part of the Second
Eliot NDP (Neighborhood Development
Project) Urban Renewal, which was op-
proved by the Eliot Neighborhood Asso­
ciation in 1973.
The two block area is between Knott
and Sacramento, from Williams to Rod­
ney. An optometry clinic sponsored by
Pacific University is planned for the cor
ner of Williams and Knott Street, with
the existing Pacific Power and Light sub­
station taking up the remainder of the
block. The substation is to be landscaped
and upgraded in appearance.
The block between Russell and Sacra­
mento is to contain housing. Thia was
origionally low-income residents, but the
plan has been changed. The Housing
Authority of Portland has submitted a
proposal to the U.S. Department of Hous­
ing and Urban Development (HUD) to
build public housing units - high rise
(approximately for ston es) for the elder­
ly. and units for families.
Knott Street is being made into a mall,
with pedestrians and bicycle pathways
and perhaps one lane of automobile traf
fic. The street was planned as part of a
pedestrian way between Emanuel Hospi­
tal and Irvington.
Other improvements include rebuild
ing streets and sidewalks, storm sewers,
underground wiring, street lighting and
trees.
Dawson Park is also being rejuvenat
ed. with the pbyground expanded, new
restrooms, bndscaping and walkways.
The second phase, which will not be dene
this year is to build a kiosk in the park,
using the old dome from the Hill Building
(formerly at Williams and Russell) The
conical dome was a landmark when the
community was centured at W illiam « and
Russell, having been built by an early
Albina Mayor. Charles H. Hill. When the
building was demolished, the cone was
kept with the hope that it would again
become a bndmark.

Position *1. advocates closer communica­
tion between elected officials and their
constituents. In order to aid citizens to
participate in local government decision
making. Jackson proposes, if elected, to
set aside one day a week for citizens to
see him. “At least once a month I would
like to hold local town hall meetings
throughout the county to get direct citi­
zen unput and recommendations for a
change."
Jackson advocates giving citizens a
greater say in budgeting, determining
priorities, and seeking federal funds. He
proposes establshing citizen advisory
groups for the budgeting process and
budget planning hearings.
He believes each Commissioner should
head departments of county government
and be responsible for their operation. He
is opposed to Clackamas County’s parti­
cipation in CRAG.

((T o o many have had to suffer at the hands
of a political and economic elite who have
shaped decisions and never had to account
for mistakes nor to suffer from injustice.
When unemployment prevails, they never
stand in line looking for a job. When depri­
vation results from a confused welfare
system, they never do without food or
clothing or a place to sleep. When the public
schools are inferior or tom by strife, their
children go to exclusive private schools.»
Jim m y Carter
made tha t statement
when he accepted the
Democratic nom ina­
tio n for President. If
it hadn’t been for
Black support, Jim m y
Carter would never
have gotten that far.
For it was Blacks
who put Jim m y
Carter over the top in
the Democratic pri­
maries. Because he
understands our
MBM
needs. And because he’ll do something
about a government tha t ignores them.
Now we have a chance to make a differ­
ence again. In the general election Novem­
ber 2nd. It can mean the difference be­
tween politics as usual or real leadership
for a change.
We can d rift along w ith an economy
th a t’s choking the w orking people of this
country. O r we can elect Jim m y Carter—a
leader who wil! check inflation and put
Am erica back to w ork again.
We can continue w ith a lack of justice in
this country. O r ,we can elect Jim m y Carter

doesn’t th in k big shot

We can suffer
through a welfare sys­
tem th a t’s bloated
and confused. O r we
can elect Jim m y

We can struggle
w ith a governm ent tha t does nothing to

an unem ploym ent rate among Blacks
that approaches 17%. We can continue to
have a governm ent th a t caters to the
special interests, the powerful and the
privileged. O r we can have a governm ent
of the people, by the people, and for the
people. A governm ent led by Jim m y Carter
and Walter Mondale.
