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.
