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.

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

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

this season, the youth director
said.

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.
