For Automatic
City Annexation
Eugene-flM-Proposed legis
lation (or automatic annexa
tions by cities as they grow
has been outlined here for
tile Legislative Interim com
mittee on Local Government.
This was one of a dozen
proposals recommended by
Richard L. Kennedy, execu
tive secretary of the group,
which is to propose legisla
tion to the 1963 legislature.
The recommendations in
clude these that would:
-Let cities annex without a
vote of the people, but such
action subject to a referen
dum election.
-Automatically make spe
cial service districts such as
water and sewers a part of a
city when urban concentra
tion reached a certain level.
Districts Allowed
-Allow counties to set up
multi-purpose districts as
"transition units" in unincor
porated territory. Such dis
tricts would later automat
ically become part of cities.
-Permit urban areas to
"federate" to perform metro
politan planning, mass trans
portation, water, parks, sew
ers and garbage disposal serv
ices. -Let cities and counties
merge into single metropoli
tan city-country governments.
-Set up a specific plan for
elimination of some of Ore
gon's 36 counties, this to be
voled upon by the people.
-Create a state local affairs
agency.
-Create a state boundary
commission to review and act
on boundary change plans in
urban areas.
-Set up a permanent legis
lative committee on local government.

Growers Spraying
To Control Mites
Pear growers are adding
mite control to their cover
spray for psylla this year, ac
cording to County Agent Don
Berry.
Miles are expected to be
more of a problem in local
orchards this year since they
have been in the pear trees
since the dormant period.
Usually they leave after that
time. This is the first year
that growers have had to
spray early for mites, the
county agent noted.
Guthion, which is used in
sprays for psylla, also will
control coddling moths. The
first adults were trapped in
local orchards last Saturday.
