Complicated preparation for the July 19 annexation elections
in Salem and outlying districts Were well underway Thursday as
City Recorder Al Mundt and his assistants worked on poll books,
ballots and election officials.

pond with precincts outside Sa
lem's city limits.
Although registration closed this
week the exact number of eligible
voters in annexation areas could
not be determined immediately.
City registration stands at 14,993
and registration in outside pre
cincts partly covered by the pro
posed annexations closed at 3575.
1500 to 1800 to Vote,.
But not more than half the
latter figure would represent the
voting, list for annexation areas,
Mundt stated. Probably between
1500 aind 1800 of the 3575 regis
tered; have the residence qualifi
cations for voting outside the city.
At the special election voters
of all city precincts except pre
cinct 7 may cast their ballots at
the polling places used for the
May 'primary election. Precinct 7's
polling place, formerly located at
1 095 Highland ave., has been
changed to the new building at
Highway Fuel Co., 2390 Fair
grounds rd.
Foiling Places Listed
Voters in the annexation areas,
identified by letters to correspond
with: the recently adopted city
ordinance (and the map accom
panying this article), will vote
in the following places:
A garage at 2590 S. Summer
st.; B garage. 2275 Madison ave.;
C sfate school for the deaf; D
Bone?teele building. Pacific high
way iai Lana avenue; E Cottage
5, Gable Motor Court. 2375 S.
Commercial St.; F garage. 590
Judsan st.; G McKinley school.
In the only instance of over-
apping. District F (south of Hoyt
tween Commercial and Summer
streets) is both a separate annexa-
on ferea and a part of a larger
annexation area, identified as G.
Consequently, residents of district
F may vote both at the F polling
place and at the G polling place.
Doable Canvass
This overlapping situation came
abouf when residents of the area
south of McGilchrist street de
cided to petition far annexation
after the F district: already had
petitioned. Since the residents
further south had not the neces
sary boundary touching city limits
they re-anvassed the F area for
signatures and Incorporated F
area into their proposed annexa
tion area. j
Long considered advisable m j
the interests : of progress in the j
growing city Of Salem, annexation
of areas has been the subject of '
study by a special annexation com- !
mittee of coancilmen and citizens '
for the past yfear. Of the nine areas :
now considered for annexation, the i
first to petition the city did so 1
a year ago this month. j
Alderman James A. Byers head- i
ed the annexation committee j
which included Alderman R. O. i
Lewis. W. W. Chadwick, Leo :
Childs and Arthur A. Keene.
50 landowners Sign
Districts wishing to join the city
were; required to present a peti
tion with signatures of landown
ers representing more than 50
per cent of property in the dis
trict. ;In several cases, the annexa
tion committee combined small
petitioning districts where it ap
peared feasible and likely to im
prove the extended boundaries.
Recently the matter of annexa
tion presented the city budget
committee with problems, as city
officials recommended expansion
of departments in anticipation of
a larger city :ire.t.
Such budget recommendations
were largely rejected, however, as
the recommended total budget was
far in excess of the six per cent
limitation At least one alderman
in a recent council session pre
dicted publicly that if the areas
are annexed it will almost cer
tainly necessitate a new bond is
sue to provide funds for extending
! city services to the additional
) area.
! Assessments Behind
To what extent added city areas
will pay their own way remains
in doubt. County Assessor Roscoe
Shelton states there is a slight
possibility that any annexed areas
will figure in the city's tax rolls
in the coming year and that pos
sibility he explains, is only because
Kvork on the assessment is about
six weeks behind schedule.
Shelton also points out that
annexed areas are not responsible
for previous indebtedness of the
annexing city, nor is the city
responsible for indebtedness in
the annexed areas.
