Urban Agency Set Up To Aid City Development By MAHY LEE MARLOW BOARDMAN The Bureau of Census in Salem has confirmed that the new census of the city of Boardman is 231, which is an increase of 60 over the 1960 census. This was the result of a house to house count by the city council in answer to a request by the Census Bureau after it was reported several weeks ago that the town had more residents. The 231 total does not include approximately 100 persons that live in a trailer court adjacent to the town that is not included in the city limits. The Boardman City Council passed a resolution last week to form a renewal urban agency consisting of eight members. Arthur Allen was appointed tem porary chairman. Others include Dewey West, Ernabel Mittelsdorf, Zearl Gillespie, Ed Kuhn, Seth Russell, Vernon Russell and Joe Tatone. The agency will be an organ ization that will handle the in itial development of the new city of Boardman, including the plat ting of grounds, sub-dividing, surveying, and selling and dis tribution of lots. Mayor Dewey West presented to the council a program for the city to take over all vacant and abandoned lots now in custody of the Corps of Engineers, said lots to be used for temporary locations for trailer houses un able to find other space. The council took action to pre vent further vandalism in re gard to street lights. Several have been broken in recent weeks. Ernabel Mittelsdorf, Ed Kuhn and Arthur Allen were ap pointed as a committee to draw up a notice to send out to city residents asking for their sup port in this matter. M. D. Van Valkenburg, city attorney, The Dalles, advised the council to get liability insur ance for the city. Mayor West had on hand a sample policy used by cities of this size, having made a recent survey on the subject. Bedord, Flora; Guy I-eiguson, ex ecutive committee. A motion was made to change the meeting night of the grange to the third Saturday of each month. It will be voted on at the next meeting, February 13.

Located just east of the town of Boardman, bordering the city limits, they will have approxi mately a mile of waterfront, and three-fourths of a mile of rail frontage.
