Legislature Passes Many Bills i Affecting Marion, Polk Counties Numerous bills were passed by the 1947 legislature directly or indirectly of interest to Marion and Polk counties, including county salary bills and legislation making possible the consolida tion of west Salem with balcmw and incorporation of portions of Mill City situated in Marion and Linn counties. H. B. 147, upon which an agreement was reached by a conference committee on April 3, provides for district courts In Marion, Clackamas and Lane counties, to replace the present justice of peace courts in county seat cities. Present justices of peace in county seats of the three coun ties would become district judges until the end o the elec tive term. The district judges will hold office for a six year term and will be paid an annual salary of $4,500. Jurisdiction of the court is limited to civil cases not exceeding $1000 and the same power in criminal cases as now set forth in justice courts. Proponents of the bill argued that the district courts will re lieve the crowded dockets of circuit courts in the three coun ties. Both Marion and Polk county, along with the cities in the two counties will receive additional f street funds out of the highway department gasoline tax re '' ceipts. Under bills bassed the allocation of gasoline tax rev enue for counties was increased from 15.7 percent to 19 percent based on the automobile regis tration of the county and cities from five percent to 10 percent based on population figures. In the case of cities under 1000 population, plans for street im provement must be approved by the highway department before highway allotments can be used. The bill provides that the high way department may retain $250,000 annually from the monies set aside and use such funds on repairing of streets not a part of the highway system that are in bad repair due to ex cessive travel. Two county zoning commis sion bills were passed by the legislature, one providing for appointment by the county courts of county-wide planning commissions and the other au thorizing creation of district zoning areas. Under the county-wide plan the county planning commission is required to prepare a develop ment plan, hold a public hear ing within 15 days after its adoption by a majority vote of the commission, after which such plan must be submitted to the county court for approval. Under the other law 10 or more property owners within a prescribed aret may petition the county court for establish ment of a zoning district. If a county zoning plan is adopted the district planning commis sion will cease to exist although zones established will remain unless altered or discontinued in a manner provided by law. Park and recreation districts authorized by the 1941 legisla ture are now empowered to hold elections for the purpose of ob taining approval to issue nego tiable bonds not in excess of 10 percent of the assessed valuation of the district. Provision was made by the 1947 legislature for the organ ization of highway lighting dis tricts, including not less than 1000 feet of property abutting a state highway. The bill, which passed both houses but has not yet been signed by the governor, provides that not less than 50 percent of the property in a pro posed district must petition the county court and if the petition approved an assessment may be levied on the property in the district not to exceed $1 per front foot. Under salary Increase bills, in effect on July 1, 1947, public officials in Marion and Polk counties will receive the fol lowing increases in salaries: Marion county: judge, $2,500 to $3,800; commissioners, $2,400 to $3,600; treasurer, $2,100 to $3,600; clerk, $2,400 to $3,840; recorder, $2,100 to $3,600; sher iff, $2,400 to $3,600; assessor, $2,400 to $3,600; county school superintendent, $2,100 to $3,600; surveyor, $300 a month plus 5 cents a mile for official travel.
