Counties Oppose Annex Bills
Favored by League of Cities
' SALEM Ufi Two League of
Oregon Cities bills on annexation
ran into opposition from counties
at a hearing before the Senate Lo
cal Government Committee.
. "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.

No timetable for construction has
been set yet, explained L. L. Erd-
mann, assistant superintendent
but plans call for the school to
be completed by the fall of 1962.
By a four-to-one vote, the Eu
gene board agreed to request
$44,068 from the federal govern,

the National Defense Education
Act. 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

HIGHER COSTS
Federal grants mean higher
administrative costs to accom
