Petitions have been prepared and are now being, circulated throughout the state. Several have been left in Heppner and Lexington. Lett to right are Mildred Ramsay; Carl Ramsay, secretary of "Make Steel, head a Gamefish in Oregon", Dick Yantis, president of the M-F chamber of commerce and number one signer of the petition; Mel Bennett, board member of the chamber; and Jim Howton, president of the Make Steelhead a Gamefish organization which seeks to make it unlawful for commercial fishermen to net steelhead. Other districts are for zoning drainage, parks and recreation al facilities, cemeteries, hospit als and irrigation. The major municipal service not provided anywhere hy a special district is police protection, a function not authorized by law. Most po lice protection in urban fringe areas is considered totally in adequate by city standards, Maddox emphasized. Oregon was the fifth fastest growing state between 1910 and 1950 with a 39.6 percent increase compared to 14.5 percent for the nation. One noteworthy feature of Oregon's growth has been its concentration in areas immed iately surrounding cities, where growth has been almost four times as rapid as in the cities themselves. Because of this, lo cal governments have faced ser ious problems in efforts to pro vide needed services to inhabit ants of these fringe areas, Mad lox said. n help yourself to The Good Light Beer MciiMbcra Sow Brewed Fringe Area Study For Oregon Shows Problems, Progress OREGON STATE COLLEGE Most persons are satisfied with the services provided by the patchwork of special districts of urban fringe areas.

An interim committee was ap pointed by the 1955 Oregon leg islature to study problems of urban fringe areas. Within the Portland urban area alone, the committee found, there were 187 active, independent units of lo cal government. In seven other areas studied, 93 such govern mental units were discovered. "People are familiar with the results of this arrangement, and they prefer to live with these results rather than risk unknown consequences of new and dif ferent systems," Maddox re ported. I Serious problems will Drob- ably he handled in the future as they have In the past slow ly and haltinclv but at the same time as swiftly as the bulk of the people demand, he said. With the exception of school districts, the most widely en countered special districts Dro- vided water, fire protection, san itation, and hitrhwav lighting, in that order. This order is signifi cant, Dr Maddox said, because it reflects a characteristic of su burban areas. That is. that needs commonly develop and find ex pression in action by residents one at a time."
