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.

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.
Industrial Land Available
The Morrow County Port Com
mission is completing transac
tions for lands which will total

be available for industrial use.
Located just east of the town of
Boardman, bordering the city

mately a mile of waterfront, and

frontage. The commission held
its regular monthly meeting here
last Thursday night to discuss
the program for the coming year,
