"We've got to be careful that that the cities don't get overzeal ous," said Sen. Donald Husband, R-Eugene, and vice chairman of the committee. A bill by Senator Husband that would give the county courts or county commissions the right to hold hearings on all annexations : to determine boundaries drew city opposition. Alexander Brown, Portland city attorney, said Husband's bill would give the counties the pow er to thwart any annexation they opposed. Hugh McKinley, Eugene city manager and a League director, aaid a League proposed bill to loosen the 100 per cent petition method of annexation is neces sary because it is working against , the cities. The bill would eliminate the present 100 per cent petition for annexation and require instead a petition by owners of two-thirds of the land and two-thirds of the assessed valuation. McKinley cited examples of how one or two individuals could halt an annexation petition and force the municipality to hold a costly election. The second League bill woula allow cities to annex without a vote if owners of all property in the territory of the proposed an nexation consent in writing. Ken Tollenaar, representing the Assn. of Oregon Counties, op posed the two League bills and backed Husband's bill. He cited what be called bad examples of annexation maneuvering and said few cities have an overall annexa tion plan. Springfield City Mgr. Frank Smiley and City Atty. Robert Car- michael attended the hearing to lend support to the League-proposed annexation legislation. school.

If these grants are made, the school district will put up an equal amount. Of the total, $20,- 282 was requested for guidance and counseling, and $23,786 for foreign language and science in struction. Board Member Dr. L. W. Stauf- fer cast the dissenting vote. Stauffer, who has frequently ob jected to federal aid, renewed his protests Monday night. "I am unalterably opposed to any activity of this kind," Stauf fer said.
