Planners Reject
Church Request
?By ROBERT E. GANGWARE "
City Editor, The Statesman
Englewood ' Evangelical United Brethren Church wai turned
down Tuesday night by Salem Planning Commission on a request
for waiver of setback requirement for a proposed 30 by 40 foot
Sunday School addition to the church.
The church wanted to build on
the rear of its property on 17th
Street at Nebraska Street, with
out acquiring additional property.
Sunday School Superintendent
Floyd Query told the commission
t City Hall that his church had
reached the point of curtailing
its youth program pr expanding
its building. "Our existing plant
is jammed to the rafters " he
said.
Situation Said Emergency
He and others of the church
termed the situation an emer
gency brought on by rapid
growth of the Sunday School.
They said the church serves a
big residential area with a big
population of children.
The Rev. Lloyd Uecker, pastor,
acknowledged that buying a resi
dential lot to the north of the
church property for location of
the proposed addition was recom
mended as first choice of archi
tects. He said paying the price
of that property would hold back
the building ' program, therefore
the - alternative plan had been
made.
Speaking for the commission
majority. Commissioner Robert
K. Powell declared the church
should buy the adjacent property
which "would be to your advan
tage in the long run." Powell
maintained that the setback waiv-

The Portland Symphony Or
chestra gave a magnificent con
cert last evening under the mas
terful leadership of Hs new con
ductor, Theodore Bloomfield.
Bloomfield led his players
through loving attention to de
tails on to an immensely satisfy
in 3 projection of the entire pro
portions of the music. - j
The orchestra is already great
ly improved over last year. The
attacks were miraculously pre
cise. No sputtery brass entrances
here. The violins had a particu
larly opulent tone
Conductor Bloomfield has solid
concepts of musicianship. He
follows a melody through from
beginning to end, moulding - it
4nto persuasive shapes. His care
lor bridge passages in the music
were as absorbing as the atten
tion a gracious hostess gives to
the externals of her party. In
short, we heard

Precision Noted .
Furthermore, Bloomfield was
ble to easily impress bis play
tn with his intentions. The or
chestra responded to his bidding
ith precision, whether the music
called for a rigid beat or a com
fortable flexibility.
The program was well chosen.
Bow impressive was the. Beeth
oven Overture! The Debussy
Fetes were alive with rhythm.
Immensely subtle, though clear
to the sensitive listener, was the
Suite from Der Rosenkavalier, by
Strauss- The mighty first Sym
. phony of Brahms brought the
concert to an exultant close. :
Less Players
It is a pleasure to record that
one now doesn't need to ; be
plagued by memories of orches
tras from large cities. Oh no,
the sound isn't as ample, but let's
not forget that those orchestras
have at least 25 more .players
than the Portland Symphony.
There were times when the wood
winds and the brass weren't
heard as forcefully as one might
wish. v

County Tax
'Money 'Flows'
To Collector.
Tax money, some of it In quarter-million
dollar chunks, poured'
into the Marion County tax col
lector's office Tuesday ahead of
tb midnight discount deadline.
Mail, containing taxpayers
checks for the 1955-56 county
property tax, was stacked high
in the tax office and Chief Dep
uty Tax Collector Howard T.
Evans said his office wouldn't be
out from under the pile before
the first of the year. - ,
The county's two biggest prop
erty taxpayers Portland General
Electric and Pacific Telephone
and Telegraph waited along
with hundreds of lesser taxpay
ers until the final hours to get
their payments in. PGE, again the
biggest single payer in the com
fy, turned in a check for $257,
028.73; PT&Ts check was for
$218,418.87.
As of 9 p.m. Tuesday night the
tax office has processed-15,783
receipts covering some $237,
350.23, which represents only
about one-third of the county's
record $7,177,252.05 tax for the
year. But most of the remainder
was represented in in-the-mail or
in-the-drawer returns, Evans said.
Counting the PGE and PT&T
accounts, Tuesday's tabulations to
taled some $891,000. Except for
those two, however, not too much
came in over the counter. Dead
line day lines were considerably
shorter at the Courthouse than
those of Monday.
Those missing Tuesday midnight
deadline, not only lost the benefit
of the three per cent discount, but
face a penalty as well. Two-thirds
of one per cent interest .on first
quarter taxes is in effect now on
unpaid taxes.
