The city coun- fW-M cil finally voted, the other niirht, to hold an annexation yf-M election in the area on the east side of Springfield. $m Tne EuBono Register-Guard noted in an editorial re- ceimy : "Springfield Mayor Ed Harms showed courage and foresight Tuesday night when he broke a tie council vote and cast his ballot for an annexation election in the trou bled area east of the city. "It will now be up to the people in the area and in the city to decide whether annexation is the best meth od to solve the problems of drainage and sewage. "We agree with the engineers, county health officials and Mayor Harms that annexation is the only long-range method that will solve the difficulties. Other proposals, at best, would be only partial solutions. "The annexation boundaries include the big Weyer haeuser Timber po. This is the aspect of the issue that has caused most of the turmoil. The timber firm is a self-sustaining unit that docs not actually need the city services thu residential areas need. This has been the real crux of the entire annexation problem. It will mean a big tax bite to the timber firm if the annexation carries but under the circumstances we believe Mayor Harms did the right thing. It will mean a great deal to the long-range devel opment of Springfield, and, as much as it may hurt now, it will be good for Weyerhaeuser over the long pull. v "The present situation is much the same as that in the late 19-iOs when the Paramount area desired annexa tion. At that time, tlie annexation included Booth-Kelly, Ronboro and most of the other large industries in the Springfield area. Those industries, like Weyerhaeuser now, were opposed to annexation because they felt it would not benefit them in relation to the cost. However, they were annexed and from that moment on Springfield made remarkable progress in city services and community development. "We said some time ago that annexation of Weyer haeuser now would be a little premature in view of the fact that urban development is not actually contiguous with the plant. But in reviewing the conditions we can see no other way for the proper development of the en 4i,.n ........ .,.,i ,.r ii... ur iw.i;...... xr...,,.u re; wi uit.u vtinij ,i tin; i y u i7uv:vi; v i jr v.r i luu.uni.i ui I i- V cials would be the first to'admit that they have a respon I nihility to the community in which they locate. And in I ileed, they have shown this feeling by their offer to bear mn ui wiu com in n in iujiuku jirugruiu. "They believe that annexation now will place an unfair share of the burden on them. Hut they must also agree that the entire orderly development of the cast Springfield area hinges on their participation. Annexa tion will be much better for Weyerhaeuser than the sub standard development that is bound to occur all around them if annexation fails." The newspaper points out that Weyerhaeuser offic ials feel their plant is self-sustaining, and already has most of the services the cily would provide. This, however, is not the real problem. Any industry located near a cily draws its pool of workers largely from that city. A family living in a home assessed at S.'!,(IO0 usually requires more services from the oily than does a plant assessed at ten times that amount. Traditionally, industry has had to pay in part for the municipal services of the people who work for indus try. Lack of industry within city limits and an oversupply of homes has caused real financial trouble for a number of areas since the war, and Springfield apparently is no exception. r NEA Service! IncT HpvelaJ (o Thu Bulletin K1;DM0ND A special meetin; of cily council will convene Tues day, Sept. fa at 8 p m. for the purpose of opening bids on a par cel of land about 9.7 acres north west of the old Bend - Redmond highway near Redmond cemetery. The land, with no water rights, is to he sold for cemetery or allied purposes. Don Knowlcs, represent ing a corporation interested in es tahlishing a mausoleum in thv area, met with city council Tues day night during regular sessior arid inquired about available land for such a purpose. Councilmcn discussed several matters but took little action Tues day night. A reminder was issued that property owners are responsi ble for controlling weeds and tall grass on vacant lots. The mattei of hay trucks using Jackson street and raising objectionabie dust for residents along the street was broached, and investigation was ordered. t A report from councilman Prioi imith, absent owing to illness. was relayed, by Walter Kleen to the effect that the 10 p.m. curfew ordered enforced at the last meet ing is regarded by city police as impractical. Council decided, after discussion, that a more realistk curfew might be made" effective and enforceable. City attorney Ru pert Park was accordingly in- stnicted to draw a curfew ordi nance patterned after 'the state law "with some teeth in it.' ft was stressed that minors under IS should not be on city streets or sidewalks between midnight a:id 4 a.m. unless accompanied by par ent or guardian, and that the lat ter adults be responsible for eon- duct of the minors. The tenatlve curfew law will be studied at th next council meeting. IMaiw Made The desirability of closing all housing units at the airbase to residence rentals was brought up by Kleen. He said potato growers desire the use of the buildings again for harvest labor and coun cil decided to let them use them this fall, with evacuation of build ings completed by Nov. 15. Con tract stipulation will be the same as last year. It is hoped, however, Kleen said, that by the end of De cember all use of these barracks for living quarters by any in livid uals. or groups will cease from then on and buildings will even tually be disposed of. He added that the Christian high school win not meet there this fall, and that Seventh Day Adventists' use of a building for school purposes will end by January 1. Such groups a the Archery club, national guard, and the like, will continue their use of the buildings. George Beimler reported that Ivan-Ivancovich. Sr.. has ques tioned the $100 license fee on the bowling alleys he has recently ac quired and renovated. It was point ed out by city recorder Mrs. Evaline Riebhoff that the ordi nance on fees stipulates that the first four alleys carry a $50 licence fee. and each additional alley $10 The proposed policy of seeking Auxiliary GOC Post Selected SiK'cinl to The Bulletin MADRAS The Van de Hey Shell service station has been de clared an auxiliary Madras Ground Observer Corps post, according to S-Sgt. Frank Judkins, sector ser geant. The post, to be manned by sta tion employes, will operate for 1J hours daily, from 3 p.m. to 8 a m , and will give the Madras area 24 hour operation of spotting for the first time in recent years. Volunteers will continue to man the Madras Airbase post from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. George N. Van de Hey will bo post supervisor, with Russell Shep eard chief observer. Pther watch ers will be Willard Hillard and Darryl Wray. Calls from the night time post will go straight to the Bend air defense filter center. bids on all city purchases was de bated. It was pointed out that while only the gasoline and oil purchases, vehicles and certain other items arc actually put up for bid, many other city supplies are bought on best price quoted from several suppliers. It was felt that cost in time and money of advertising for bids on all pur chases might prove an extrava gance rather than a saving. Park distributed copies of the proposed library ordinance for study and discussion at the next meeting, and Mayor E. M. McKrill appointed Howard Milton and Ralph Windsor to the planning coommission replacing Joe E. Brown and Walt Kleen. Dan Kilgore and Prior Smith were absent.
