F- 10 Streets Must Be Dedicated Before Assessments Made At least 10 4,hip pocket" streets in recently-annexed areas must be dedicated to the city before abutting prop erty owners can be assessed or installation of municipal sanitary sewef system.

Portland E-R Group Postpones Bid Call Portland (LTD The Port- 1 a n d Exposition-Recreation commission announced Tues day the construction strike lockout has resulted in a post ponement of call for bids to build the city's exposition recreation center. The commission voted to delay the bid call until Sept. 2 on recommendations of the project's architects, Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. The firm said so far completion of the center probably will not be delayed by the dispute. of way as narrow as 20 feet, while the city's requirement is normally 60 feet. In some cases houses are located right against the street, while the city's single family zoning calls for a minimum set-back of 20 feet. The city could refuse deeds to the streets until its stand ards were met. If the sewers are construct ed in undedicated streets, the city will be powerless to col lect assessments along those streets. j Presents Quandary ' City Manager Robert A. Duff presented this quandary, at the city planning commis sion meeting this week. He calls the streets "hip pocket" because they were developed, before annexation of the city, without regard to sensible planning or possible future restrictions. Duff said he knows of at least one such street in Laurelhurst and others in the Kenwood-Grandview area. He said there are at least six or eight cases in , Berrydale, where a sanitary sewer sys tem is also proposed. Duff said there are three possible solutions. The first is to compromise the city's re quirements. The planning commission, at Duffs sugges tion, did adopt a recommenda tion that the Poplar dr. deed be accepted although only 50 feet in right of way can be obtained. A second solution would be to accept dedication of the streets as alleys. The third possibility is for the city to exercise its right of eminent domain, and insist on stand ard rights of way and set backs even if houses have to be moved or demolished. Duff has said he plans to draw up a list of the streets in the near future for consid eration by the planning com mission and the city council. Family Camping Planned by YMCA A week end of family camp ing at Diamond Lake is planned by the Medford Young Men's Christian asso ciation, according to Herb Partridge, youth director.

Activities will include boat ing, canoeing, sailing, swim ming, hiking, campfires, mountain climbing, games and archery. Families may choose the 'activities in which they prefer to participate. Part ridge said. Program directors will provide activities and supervision for youngsters. The YMCA tents and all other facilities will be made avail able. This will be the last camp ing period at Diamond Lake this season, the youth director said. Families do not have to be YMCA members. They may register at the YMCA, 522 West Sixth st., Medford, or may call SPring 2-629o. Organ Builder, Can't Pley a Note Gloucester, Mass. (UPD Tolbert F. Cheek, 70, is a man well-regarded in his business, which is organs and pianos. Since 1905, he's been build ing, designing and repairing some of the finest musical in struments in the Northeast and it's no fly-by-night job. For instance, it took Cheek six years to construct the S300,000 organ at Gloucester's Trinity Congregational Church. When he finished, officials decided to grant him the honor of playing the first note. Cheek declined. It seems that during his 53 years in the business, he's never learned to play a note on either organ or piano.
