Good Appearance iof Capitol Area Property
Principal Aim of . Salem Planner Elf strom
(Storr also! on page 1.)
I The following comprise most
of the text of a Jetter issued
Wednesday by Mayor R. L. Elf
atrom regarding zoning and use
of the state capitol zone fringe
area: ... i-
"In view of he publicity giv
en the recent, zone change at
Center and Capitol streets there
ought to be reiterated for the

"The first consideration is the',
enhancement of the beauty of the
area. We want to see that the
good appearance of the property
in thef vicinity of the state build
ings continues for years to come.
gested area. It has been suggest
ed that the state might properly
purchase the southerly part of ,
thai fringe area. This suggestion
includes the easterly side of Cap
itol street between Court and
Center, and the westerly side of
Winter street between Court and
Center. I think the state should
consider using this property for
parking purposes, and, the state'
in making this purchase .would
accomplish two things; namely
furnish free parking much closer
to f the state buildings, which
would be a convenience' to the
public, and also give uniform
treatment to this fringe area.

of , business in the area and by
regulating the construction of the

area it could be that in a gen
eration from i now the capitol
group would te known as one
surrounded by lower priced ten
ements and rooming houses. To-
J day we find no new single f am-
' Uy dwellings being built in the,
immediate area.
f "The fringe! area has a total
length of . almost two miles.
Chere is no reasonable possibil-
1 Ity that the areas can be devoted
i ' to the uses suggested by the cap
f -: Itol planning commission. That
area comprises much more terri
tory that can conceivably be
"used for churches, schools and
similar buildings. The fact is
that those responsible for such
rojects would not be interested
building in this highly con-
istconducted we believe the best
Interests of the public can be
served.
"The Salem planning and zon
ing commission and the Salem
city council studied this problem
for months. In fact they are still
studying it, As the outcome of
these studies it was decided that
the use of this corner as a serv
ice station is not out of step with
any rational plan for the devel
opment and preservation of the
beauty of the area.
v "The character of the area has,
In recent years, changed from
residential to commercial. In
creases in population are proba
bly the principal reason for the
change. The owners of the area
have recognized this and have
Joined in petitioning the planning
and zoning commission and the
council for the change of zone
ifrom! residential to restricted
.business. ,
I "The history of this problem,
in a sense, goes back to the es
tablishment of the large and
; highly, commercial shopping cen
ter at Capitol and Center 'streets,
just across the street from the
site of the proposed service sta
tion. The state did not raise its
voice in protest when this devel
opment, promoted by the Pacific
Mutual Life Insurance company
of Los Angeles, was proposed. No
protest was received from most
of those now voicing objections
when the Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph company building was
planned .for the fringe area.
When Mr. Donald A. Young,, local
attorney, planned a new office
building for bis own occupancy
objections did come from the
capital plannlngcommission, but
the council, with all the inforj
mation before it, and acting with
what we now believe was far
sighted good judgment, permitted
the change. The building is just
now being occupied. It is
dit to this community.
"The past serves us by giving
the Salem planning and zoning
commission and the Salem city
council sound bases in experience
and information on which to
judge what is best for the com
mon good. They are keenly
aware of 'their obligations to the
state at large ...

Contrary to the Betsy Rosa tra

less by chance, and not always in

eolor scheme of the present flag
was voiea ongmauy by the Con
gress in 1777, Congress did not
specify the proportions or exact
arrangements of the components. I

radically new, all have a prece

different flags that have flown

its history, and au retain the
symbolism of the present flag.
Design of Early Flag
Here, in the larger drawing, is
a dynamic arrangement of the
50 stars in 10 horizontal rows. It
was suggested to me by the de
sign in the smaller drawing. The
latter was the actual arrange
ment of the stripes and stars in
one of the earliest American flags.
It was borne in the Battle of Ben
nington, August 16, 1T77. It is now
owned by the Bennington Battle
Monument and Historical Asso
ciation. The Lone Star flag of the
Republic of Texas (now the Texas
State flag) and the State flags of
Georgia, : Iowa and North Caro

officials said, because the low bid

$300,000 available in the state

Officials said there also would
be some architect and engineer

the construction. Another item
involves $24,800 for installation of

a field in one corner.
Will Show Other Plane
Adoption of a full-depth
tical field would give equal em
phasis to tha fact of the origin of
the nations as II Colonies (de
noted by the IS stripes), and its
growth to one nation of SO States.
It provides adequate space for re
arrangement of stars if and when
further States may be added to
the Union without affecting the
basic appearance ox the flag?
Do you like this design? Save
it, and consider it with other sug
gestions for the new flag. Then
cast your vote in a natton-wide
