HEADING UP CAMPAIGN to make steelhead a gamefish in Ore
gon are these Milton-Freewater residents. 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.

Most persons are satisfied with

the urban fringe in Oregon.
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

With the exception of school
