Page tA-k EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Friday, Dec. 21, 1962 Willamalane Official Urges Repeal of Laws Statutes which allow a city to take over services and facilities of a special district by council action should be erased by the next Legislature, Jack Lively, attorney for the Willamalane Park and Recreation District in Springfield, said Thursday eve ning. Lively and other officials of the park district met with mem bers of the Lane County legisla tive delegation at a dinner meet ing. Operation of a park district does not conflict with city func tions, Lively argued. "There is no duplication of facilities," he added, "and it is economical for a district to operate separately." Willamalane and six other park districts are governed by laws on "special . districts. These laws give city councils authority to take over any part of a district at any time, follow ing a public hearing, if the area is within city limits. Lively said a better procedure would be to require a public vote. . Sen. Donald Husband, R Eu gene, told Liveley that "your fears - are more fanciful than real," but the park district at- Man Admits Stealing Items for Evidence Carl Roland Hagberg, accused of stealing trial evidence from a Lane County Circuit Court re porter s car, pleaded guilty In circuit court Friday to a charge Lane Court Sentences 3 For Felonies Three persons were sen fenced on felony charges in Lane County Circuit Court Fri day.

Supreme Court Upholds Sentence The Oregon Supreme Court this week upheld the sentence of a Springfield man who was given a life term in the state penitentiary for assault with in tent to rape. The convicted man, Virgil Nelson, 34, was sentenced in Lane County Circuit Court last January. The sentence was im posed by Judge Lylc R. Wolff of Baker who was serving here temporarily at the time. Nelson appealed the sentence. Nelson was found guilty by a Jury of assault with intent to rape his 11-ycar-old daughter. The victim lives in eastern Ore gon with a name different from Nelson's. of entering a motor vehicle with intent to steal. , Hagberg, 33, of 3321 Franklin Blvd., Eugene, refused the ser vices of a court-appointed attor ney before entering his plea, The case was continued for sen tencing later. Arrested Dec. 11 Hagberg was arrested by state police in Florence on Dec. 11. He is accused of breaking into a car owned by court re porter Jeannette Van Horn on Nov. 30. Missing from the car in the theft were four pistols and other evidence Mrs. Van Horn had been using in' preparing tran scripts of a trial appealed to the State Supreme Court. Also in circuit court Friday Loren Eugene Sicks, 22, of 2110 W. 23rd Ave., Eugene, entered demurrers to two indictments. One of these contains two counts charging him with sexual perversity and with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, both involving the alleged com mission of improper sexual acts with a 13-year-old boy on Sept. 8, 1961. Second Indictment The second indictment charg es Sicks with contributing to the delinquency of the same boy, alleging acts committed on Sept. 27, 1961. Richard B. Ausmus, 20, of 1112 E St., Springfield, pleaded innocent to charges of larceny in a dwelling and knowingly lit tcring and publishing a forged bank check. He is accused of stealing checks and a check protector from Walts Concrete Co. in Springfield last month and of issuing a forged $109 check to McKay's market on Coburg Road. torney said that the existence of the statutes might "make it dif ficult to sell bonds" for financ- ine imDrovements. Another "fear" expressed by Lively was that the coming Leg islature might adopt a statute calling for uniform election dates of all districts and munici palities. Such legislation was introduced in the 1961 session but was not approved. "It is physically impossible," Lively said, "to hold all elec tions at the same time when boundaries are different, when precinct lines are different . There might have to be four or five polling places and then people could not inform them selves on all the issues from the several districts." Richard Kennedy, state repre sentative-elect, said that he dosn't believe such a bill will be introduced. But he is sure there will be one which would require more policing of poll books and voter eligibility, he said, Husband said he doubted that such requirements are necssary, but Kennedy said "we take great care in elections for presi dent and governor but not with these special district elections . . . There is a danger of impro priety in such voting." Kennedy said that as the ex ecutive secretary of the Legis lative Interim Committee on Lo cal Government he found cases where a county directory was used to see if a voter was in the district. In other cases, he claimed, a person was allowed to vote if he just signed his name. Husband, who serves as attor ney for many special districts, said that there is protection at present against improper vot ing. "If the vote is close, we check, if it isn't close, it doesn't make any difference." Mrs. J. A. Person Dies at Age of 58 Funeral services arc pending for Mrs. J.
