Addition at Church Wins Planners Okeli (Story slss as Page 1.) Salem P I s n n i n g Commission Tuesday night allowed Central As sembly of God Church to build a 12-foot addition extending to the sidewalk on Cottage Street at the church location at the northwest comer of Cottage and Hood Sts. i The church entrance will be changed to Hood Street, the Rev. Fred Versolenko indicated in his petition for the change. He told the commission that frequent flooding of the church basement made it necessary to move lavatories up-! stairs. Opposition to the change wss voiced by C. F. Noakes, 13iffl N. Cottage St., who said the addition might lead to more accidents st the intersection by limiting vision. Commissioners in making their de- j cision noted that the church is on an R-2 class residential lot sur-j rounded by C-J general business I toning which requires no setback; for buildings. j Traffic Studies Advised Mayor Robert F. White and Com missioner T. W. (Bill) Lowry sug gest that traffic studies be made to see if parking limits or stop signs! sre needed at the corner. The' church is now adding off-street parking on its lot. Richfield Oil Co., was granted s variance to place a pump island and poles closer to South Commer cial Street, at Mission, than the setback law requires. This permis sion was granted on a revokable basis. Prelect Vetoed A proposed 1240,000 27-unit apart ment project at northwest corner of Chemeketa and 13th Streets was turned down by the commission. The petition had sought exception to rear, front and side yard set backs which, variance committee chairman Lowry said, would have the effect of changing the present R-S zone to a commercial tone. Ludwig Shouli was permitted to build a home with a J14 foot front yard setback on Lefelle Street across from Bush's Pasture, and Gabriel and Ann Marsh were per mitted to build on Maple Avenue near Hickory with a 20-foot set back.

Suit to Save 150 Roadside Signs Filed An Eastern Oregon too keeper has gone to court in sn attempt to keep ISO roadside signs advertis ing his place of business. In an amended complaint filed in Marion County Circuit Court Tuesday H. D. Webb, proprietor of a zoo at Blalock, Ore., asks the court to force the state to recog nize his right to maintain the signs. Defendants are the state and N. 0. Nilsen, commissioner of the Bu real of Labor. At stake is a state law restricting r o a d s i d signs along highways. j Webb says in his complaint that he has erected 150 signs valued at $2,500 on leased sites along High way 30. He adds he must pay rent als on the sites until Oct. 1, 1960. Earlier this year, he states in his complaint, the state refused to ac cept his application for permits for the signs and has ordered him to remove all but seven of them. Webb contends the state's action is unconstitutional, and will do his business "irreparable damage and injury." The state requires highway signs be spaced at least, one-half mile apart. This would eliminate all but seven of Webb's signs. i I)g9 Crush Driver COOS BAY ( A logging truck hit a bump and swerved out of control near here Monday, and the load of logs smashed the cab.
