Tele-fun by Warren Goodrich Court Talks Back On Road Issue SUTHERLIN The recent reso lution passed by the Oakland Im provement Association, drew a statement from the County Court this we9k: "It is still the opinion of the court that the economy of the county is best served by carefully evaluating all factors, present and future,' when making a determin ation involving the expenditure of county funds in the amount of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The Court believes that was done in its consideration of a proposed North Umpqua - Sutherlin road. The route selected, we believe, will better serve all interests in the area affected." The Oakland resolution charged the Court disregarding the best financial interest of the taxpayers of Douglas county as a whole, dis playing absolute disregard to the expressed recommendations of the residents of northern Douglas county. The group asked that the County Court re-consider the choice of route for this very important con necting link, giving more consid eration to the economical spending of the taxpayer's monies, by choosing the shorter, cheaper (short-route) and also aiding in preserving the economic welfare of all northern Douglas county. The resolution went on to say that the Oakland group opposed the action taken in this matter by the board of county commissioners and would continue to actively oppose said action until they felt they had been granted the recog nition which is due this community. When confronted with the court statement, S. H. Early, secretary of the Oakland group, had no comment to make regarding the club's future course of action. "Be sura to watt for Mr. Fla to answer. He leads a fast life ... his dog It always chas ing rabbits.". ..You'll com plete more calls if you give the other person time to answer at least a minute . . Pacific Telephone. At Sutherlin SUTHERLIN The fast depleting funds in the Sutherlin street de partment, forced council members to meet in special session this week. The group approved discontin uing of the Sixth street project and dismissing of the only street department employe, Henry Cook. It is felt that Cook can be em ployed with the water department temporarily. ' Funds in the street department are thought to be as low as dared be allowed at this time. Street maintenance, however, will be taken care of as needs arise, ac cording to the mayor, with re maining funds. School Board District 130-C met Monday, January 14, in special session to work on the school bud get and discuss future plans. Among the items approved by the board was the fine work done in the past by school superintend ent, W. W. Riddlebarger, and to re-elect him for another two-year term. The superintendent was compli mented on the improved system and relations that he has brought to the district in the tour years he has held that position. The new term will start July 1, 1952.
