I 1 NEW ANNEXATION PROPOSAL A new and smaller annexa tion proposal in the Berrydale area was proposed last week, after the defeat at the Tuesday election of a large area.

The eastern boundary at the snutheiTi tio includes parts of Crater Lake Highway and the Pacific Highway south of the Big Y. junction. The renewed pro posal u tit be presented again to the planning commission Tuesday.

On LAUNDROMATS Come In and See Our Complete Line of 1957 WESTINGHOUSE LAUNDROMATS TERMS To Suit Your Budget $97,925 Remains In Emergency Fund Salem (U.R) A total of S97.925 remained in the state emergency fund Saturday after the State Emergency Board con cluded what was thought to be its last meeting. In about two months the 1957 legislature will be in session to provide funds for any emer gency that might arise. The board started with $700,000. Under the law contracts for all construction projects must be approved by the board, but during the legislative session no such boa i d will be in exis tence. Therefore, should the state board of control or the board of higher education desire to get a construction project un der contract in early spring, the only means available would be the introduction of a bill . in the legislature authorizing and approving such a contract. Before the present law, the joint ways and means commit tee was empowered to act in place of the emergency board. Friday afternoon 'the emer gency board authorized the board of control to proceed with the construction of an admin istration building at the Ore gon blind school in Salem, pro vided the bids, to be opened early next spring, do not ex ceed the legislative appropria tion of $403,000. No emergency funds were au thorized for the dormitory, but the school was permitted to use $32,000 of capital outlay funds for the project.

St. Helens road about a block from her home north of the Portland city limits. Miss Miller was dead on ar rival at Good Samaritan hospi tal here. Her mother, Alberta Miller who witnessed the accident, and her father. Cecil Miller who ar rived at the scene a few min utes later, were taken to Good Samaritan hospital for treat ment of extreme shock. Deputy Sheriff's Carl Dentler and William Bradbury said the driver of the car was Robert Emerson, 51, of Portland. The officers said Miss Miller had just stepped off a. bus, re turning from classes at Portland State and was starting across St. Helens road to walk the block to her home. Emerson, who estimated his speed at 45 miles an hour, told the deputies he saw only a blur of motion in the darkness behind the bus headlights. He said he swerved sharply, but was unable to miss the girl. votes in the counties is now in progress throughout Oregon and the state canvass should get un der way early next week. O'Hara estimated it would take three to four weeks to complete the state canvass. Thank You....

Only a Few Left at These Savings - So Hurry! and DRYERS Ca GflfisOGD aaoo Smith May Become State Senator Again Salem (U.R) Is it back to the Senate for Gov. Elmo Smith? Smith was president of the Senate in 1955 and as such he became governor upon the death of Gov. Paul Patterson. In Tuesday's election, Dem ocrat Robert B. Holmes, Astor ia radio station executive, was chosen as governor, defeating Republican Smith. A petition asking the Marion County Republican Central com mittee to recommend Elmo Smith to the state Senate was placed in circulation in Salem Friday. Smith would succeed Mark Hatfield, Marion county sena tor who was elected secretary of state in Tuesday's balloting. Hatfield is a Republican. The petition to put Smith back in the Senate was being circulated by Mr. and Mrs. Van de Velde. The appointment will be made by the Marion County Court and the Republican Cen tral Committee was expected to make a recommendation. Smith is publisher of a news paper in John Day and has an interest in a Madras newspap er. But he became a resident of Salem after he was sworn in as governor, and hence could conceivably be named to the Marion county senatorial scat upon Hatfield's resignation, which is expected oon so that he can take over as secretary of state the first of the year.
