Booming Town In a room designed as the pivotal civic center for a commu nity of possibly 500, Springfield's mayor, manager, and coucilmen are trying to work out the prob lems oi mora man oou. Rather than build for the pres ent population, the closehr Dacked officials and townspeople have de cided on establishing a hall fit for a population of 10,000 without modification. Expanded to a full second floor, it would cope with a population more than double that iigure, according to Giles. Costing an estimated $78,000. the city hall, to be located on the northwest cornnr of Fourth and A Sts., will provide space for the city's business departments, fire department, police station and jail, library, and council-court room.

The sole exception, real estate man Arthur McChesney, has filed tor the council seat from Ward Five to be vacated by Carl Lewis this year. Council Vacancies Other council vacancies Dec, 31 will be those of Ward Three's Jack Larsen and Ward Six's Gil Shoush, All three councilmen have announced they have no Intention of running again. ine Iield for the ton city job is wide open; Mayor Claude Ger- Jach has expressed himself Quite plainly several times as being out of the race. Since there Is no primary con test Involved in a non-partisan ballot, candidates only need de clare themselves available a little over two months prior to general elections. Little Time The result, local soothsayers say, is a hotter and shorter race with little time for debate on anything Dut concrete public issues.

Postoffice Gets Stamp Vendor An automatic stamp-vending machine to dispense stamps at face value has been placed in op eration in the lobby of Eugene postoffice. Acting Postmaster Ethan New man said the new machine would spare patrons the delay of stand ing in line during rush hours. In addition, it will make possible the purchase of stamps on Sundays and holidays and at other hours when the stamp window is not open. The machine will issue five one- cent stamps for a nickel, two five- cent air mail stamps for a dime. and five three-cent stamps for a nickel and a dime- The machine was developed for the postoffice department by a New York manufacturer of mall room machines and office machin ery.

How To Run Any registered voter, who can commandeer 23 signatures of reg istered voters In hit ward, can run for the council vacancy; any registered voter who can gather 50 signatures in the city at large can join the line for mayor. Pet itions may be obtained from the city recorder and the deadline is Sept. 1. Tightest issues ahead are likely to be the traditional ones. Water; the lack of pressure in pipe lines, the poor service in summer months, and alleged in action about it will "undoubtedly provide" meat for many a rostrum gabfest. Sanitary Sewers: long time poll- ; tical football in Springfield, the efforts to evolve plans for 100 per ; cent sewer service with low cost, will be "on the top" of debate agendas. Storm sewers: another money problem; the man with the pana-, cea here may well walk away with any of the policy making jobs he wants, prophets say. Too many people walked through too much water in this year's floods to allow this question to go unmentioned. Streets: What to do about the city streets is a question for a fin ancier find one, c h a 1 1 e n g e Springfield officials. Sidewalks: what are they and let's have them, say Springfield residenta, but "cheaply" they cau tion would-be officials. A "possible" top level topic may stem from the Aug. 23 hearing on methods of financing the state required sewage disposal plant; voters crowded the council cham bers last Monday night to protest the raising of assessments on home owners on sewer lines to support revenue bonds for the project. Lota of Needs However, even the most hot blooded of the landlords acknow ledged in leaving that possibly Springfield needed so much, "every avenue of financing open under state law should be used." As City Recorder Kenneth Giles said this week, "Come and get the petitions; we have them in the city hall," if you want these problems. 1 fWY7TVTlfmV7l MERIDIAN DANSITE TRACTS A few miles from the Meridian Damsite we are subdividing a 72 acre ranch into tracts of one acre and up.
