BROADWAY Starts wd., Parker's pomian. oimon May 28 Hew City CDunty Stteet, Naming Policy Used by Planning Group By RUSSELL BIERAUGEL Staff Writer. The Statesmaa J. Marion County Planning Com mission struck a blow for a new city-county policy of street nam ing Wednesday. Faced with a peti tion to name a Keizer street Low ell Street, the commission recom mended instead that it be desig nated 10th Avenue NE. The commission also congratu lated engineer Wesley Kvarsten on the success of zoning meas ures north and south of the city at the polls last week, and im mediately appointed two commit tees to get to work on details. Kvarsten declined to estimate how many months it will take to put the measures into effect. The group also worked out several details of a house num bering program, including changes in the proposed numbering grid which Kvarsten said will save almost 3,000 changes of existing house numbers. And it agreed to a shift in its arterial street plan which will run the Silverton Road arterial into Lank Avenue. Street Issue Argued The numbered designation of the Keizer area street was adopted for recommendation to the county court after strong argument by v. v. McMuiien, chairman of a city-county committee which met weekly for more than a year to draw up a street numbering plan, The policy to designate north- south streets as numbered ave nues nas Deen used for new streets in East Salem but this marks its first use west of 25th Avenue. The street extends north from Chemawa Road on a line. Resi dents had petitioned that it be named Lowell Street. The petition was referred to the commission for recommendation by the county court. Zoning Werkers Named Floyd Bates was, appointed chairman of a committee to work out zoning in South Salem. Homer Goulet Jr. was named chairman of a . committee to do the same for the Keizer area. Don Cannon and McMuiien will work with Bates. Jack Bartlett of Brooks and Kenneth Golliet of Mehama were named to the north committee, The commission will ask county court to appoint two members from each area to the committees. The plan to minimize the num ber of house-number changes in adoption of the new grid system was based on recommendations by engineering department personnel in the field, Kvarsten said. It is done by distorting the grid at Mc Nary Field and in industrial areas Logger Killed When Tree Falls NEHALEM, Ore. Iff) A spar tree toppled over at a logging operation Tuesday, killing Elmer C.

The commission recommended to county court that it be allowed to sell standardized house num bers although not requiring them. It recommended requirement, however, of numbers at least 2M Inches tall. The arterial change north of the State Fairgrounds was proposed in a letter from W. C. Williams, state highway engineer. He pointed out that Silverton Rpad crosses Southern Pacific Railroad tracks at grade while the Lana Avenue route would avoid a crossing for north traffic and carry south traffic through the" Portland Road underpass. Williams suggested other minor changes which were referred to Kvarsten for study. Meanwhile, the commission adopted its arter ial plan, with the Lana Avenue change, for submission to county court. A road-naming map for the area extending four miles in each di rection from Woodburn was pre sented by Warren Sutliff, Mid-Willamette Valley Planning Council assistant engineer. He explained that it followed present names most commonly used except in cases where resemblance of names would cause confusion. On a motion by McMuiien, the street-nanling committee headed by Fred bchwan of Mt. Angel was instructed to meet with Woodburn Junior Chamber of Commerce, which had requested the plan, on the possibility of a numbering and alphabetical plan to tie in with plans for the Salem area.
