Modern Ordinances
To be Prepared
University of Oregon, Eugene,
July 12 Modern, "streamlined'' or
dinances, which with slight varia
tions are designed to fit situations
in cities throughout the state, will
be prepared under a model ordin
ance program undertaken jointly by
the League of Oregon Cities and the
Bureau of Municipal Research of the
University of Oregon as an out
growth of the WPA codification ser
vice sponsored by these agencies.
Under a program agreed on at the
last League convention, a tentative
draft of each proposed ordinance
will be submitted to city officials
of Heppner and a number of other
cities for review and critldsm. The
final model draft will be made avail
able to city councils where situations
necessiting legislation arise.
It is not intended that the model
ordinances be suitable for mechan
ical copying, but rather to serve as a
starting point for working out regu
lations for individual cities, accord
ing to Herman Kehrle, Bureau di
rector. The advantage of uniformity
achieved in this way is that the
model ordinance will be based on a
broader experience than is available
in any one city, and if the same gen
eral principles are followed by a
number of cities court interpretation
of one ordinance will apply in all
cities.
A comprehensive police ordinance
and an ordinance for the regulation
of junk dealers have already been
mailed for review to J. J. Nys, city
attorney; E. R. Huston, municipal
judge; and Albert Schunk, police
chief.
Model ordinances designed to pro
vide city traffic regulations, and to
cover municipal regulation of food
handlers, curb cuts, pavements cuts,
and others will be included in the
program.
The Bureau also has on file, avail
able to city officials, model ordin
ances drawn by various national and
state organizations.
