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

trict's tax levy.

Mrs. Marina Gates, in a re
cent address to a group of Med
ford High school students, stat
ed that the opportunities for
clerk-typists, stenographers and

ment and to progress with the
training obtained in high school.

in obtaining success are accur
acy, speed and loyalty, she said,
adding, "It is possible in such
a position to combine one's in

field in which one has a primary
interest."
This is the first of a series of
vocational conferences held to
give the students an opportunity
to explore the occupational
world. Each year an occupation
al survey is made in order to
establish student interest so that
a qualified person from each
field may be invited to address

ments, aptitudes, abilities, teim
bursement, and opportunity for
advancement in the respective
fields.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE
Instructions (or
Write-In Votes Are
Mailed by Newbry
Earl E. Newbry, secretary of
state, has forwarded letters of
instruction for write-in votes
for supreme court justice to
county clerks throughout the
state.
Supreme court position No. 1
will be by write-in votes only.
The term is six years.
Two candidates are seeking
write-in votes for the position.
They are Circuit Judge David R.
Vandenberg of Klamath Falls,
and William McAllister, former
Medford attorney who was ap
pointed to the position by Gov.
Elmo Smith recently after the
death of Justice Earl C. Latou
rette, who was a candidate for
reelection.
Newbry said there are three
important rules in connection
with write-in votes. They are:
"I. A write-in" vote is valid,
and should be counted, without
regard to whether or not an 'X
has been marked preceding the
name;
"2. All votes which can be
credited with reasonable certain
ty to a known candidate for the
office, should be counted for
that candidate. Slight errors in
spelling the family name or the
given name, or mistakes in ini
tials, or the omission of the giv
en name or initials are held not
to invalidate a 'write-in' vote, if
the election judges can deter
mine with reasonable certainly
for whom the vote was intended;
"3. The use of ballot stickers
or pasters to cast a 'write-in'
vote, is not permitted."
Newbry said the "directions
appear in statutes regulating
election procedure," in attorney
general's opinions and court decisions.
