h t : f fc. "t Legislative Interim Committee Lists 7 Recommendations Salem (U.Rj The Legislative Interim Committee on local gov ernment has issued a summary of seven chief recomendations it will take to the 1957 Legislature. In general, the major changes advocated by the committee stem from problems created by the rapid rise of suburban fringe areas around Oregon cities. A basic proposal calls for a constitutional amendment au thorizing counties to establish service areas outside of incor porated cities and towns follow ing an election. Bond Issues Favored Another proposed constitution al amendment would permit counties to issue bonds for pur poses other than roads and bridges. A bill to authorize a tax dif ferential for newly annexed dis tricts also was suggested. This would allow lower taxes in dis tricts which did not need a full range of services. Amend Planning Laws The committee recommended two-way strengthening of county planning and zoning. Planning laws would be amended to pro vide closer city-county coopera tion on sub-divisions and zoning and all counties having a non city population of 15,000 or more would be required to appoint a county planning commission. The current law permitting public transit companies to oper ate within three miles of cities without coming under the juris diction of the Public Utility Sen.

Commission would be extended to 15 miles under another pro posal.
