Gel Uon Tilb ttxiajl Regional Roundup by Cleva Twitchell Mail Tribun Regional Editor Tunnel Projects Resume A editor of page that covers area in two states, I feel somewhat fortunate to be an ex-Californian. The lim ited knowledge that I have of California laws and sys tems of doing things Is helpful in view of the fact that tills page covers some of Siskiyou county in California in addition to Jackson and Josephine counties in Oregon. The two states have some Interesting differences in laws, governing bodies and titles. Most of them are ex tremely minor in importance. Never-the-less it is amus ing to see occasional references in northern California newspapers to the "Oregon Highway patrol" and in south ern Oregon papers to the "California State police." There are state police that perform similar function in both states, but in California they're highway patrol men while in Oregon they're called state police. There are several differences on the city government level. Most California cities have five-man city councils. The voters elect the councilmen; then the councilmen choose one of their number to act as "mayor." The city of Yreka in Siskiyou county operates under this system. Exceptions are such large cities as Los Angeles and San Francisco, where the voters elect their mayor directly. San Francisco is in a class by itself. The city and county of San Francisco have the same boundaries, and so a county Board of Supervisors guides the affairs of both. The cities of Jackson and Josephine counties have four, six or eight-man councils (Medford and Grants Pass have eight, Cave Junction four, all the others six) plus a mayor elected directly by the voters, not the other councilmen. To the best of my knowledge, all council men in both states serve four-year terms. Most Oregon mayors serve two-year terms. Most California mayors, being also members of the council, serve for four years. The individual who lakes the minutes at council meetings is usually the city clerk or deputy city clerk In California cities. In Oregon it's the city recorder. I had never heard of the term "city recorder" until I came to Oregon. Both states appear to be alike in the respect that in some cities the clerk or recorder is elec tive while In others he (or she) is appointive. City Manager Form of Government Cities in both states use the city manager form of government, but it appears to be In use far more in Cali fornia than in Oregon. Of the some 75 cities in Los An geles county, for Instance, I believe all of them have city managers. In southern Oregon, only Medford and Grants Pass have city managers, and this form of gov ernment is a recent development In both cities. Ashland and Jacksonville have city superintendents who look after details like streets and sewers but who do not have the power of a city manager. After viewing such Incidents as the defeat of home rule in Jackson county and the attempt by some citizens several months ago to blame City Manager Roy Eames of Grants Pass for the hiring of an "outsider" as police chief, I would say that there appears to be quite a bit of resistance to the city or county manager form of government in this area, most likely because people think this type of system represents appointive rather than elective government, and they think that appointive government takes gov erning father way from the voter. Of course, many Oregon cities are perhaps too small to be able to afford city managers. I By LETHA COOKE I O'Brien Northern Califor- nia construction came to life again last week with the agreement reached by labor ers and the Associated Gen era I Contractors unions, granting the laborers a 70 cents an hour package wage increase over a three year period. The eight-week construc tion tie-up had halted a $3.5 billion worth of projects in northern California, affecting parts of Randolph Collier tunnel jobs but not closing down actual tunnel work. Morrison-Knudsen south approach labor was complete ly at a standstill until last week. Peter Kiewit contrac tors on the Fountain bridge agreed to go along with the future wage settlement and continued work a week or more longer but was finally forced to cease operations when the AGC contested the legality of their agreement. The firm was later given a favorable decision in court, allowing it to start work again a few days before the actual decision was made. Randolph Collier tunnel is now in the process of a major cement operation. Sub-contractors are hauling sand and gravel for an estimate of up to 35,000 yards of "pour" to be used in tunnel liner. In many tunnels two or more designs are used with different thicknesses for dif ferent ground and loading conditions but In this case a RegionalCalendar Prospect - Wednesday, 8 p.m., meeting concern i n g forthcoming Prospect Jam boree, at Community hall.

Grafe - Callahan, contractor, has been given the responsi bility of providing adequate supports and the right to re design the sets to suit the con struction and conditions en- Rural Letter Carrier Meet Set Rogue River - The National Rural Letter Carrier State convention will be held July 13, 14 and 15 in Grants Pass. Headquarters for registration and business meetings will be held at the Old Librarv. 5th and B sts., in Grants Pass. F. F. James, Rogue River, has been elected secretary and treasurer.

Talent Residents Reminded of Burning Permit Requirement Talent - Residents of this city were reminded by city councilmen today that burn ing permits are now required for fires of any type. Permits may be obtained from Jiggs Conner, fire chief, at the local Chevron station. At a meeting last night, the council approved an applica tion by Valley Locker for a package beer license. A low bid of $538.22 by Singmaster Insurance on the city's blanket liability policy was accepted. Only other firm bidding was Alexander and Brown at $572.47. countered. There is some doubt at this time as to the completion of the structure by winter due to many unforseen complica tions which have developed during construction. Last year at this time one crew started on tunnel con struction, July 5. after a shut down during which the first shield was assembled. Morrison- Knudsen had just com pleted "brushing", removal of small brush and roots by manual labor, from the site of the southern approach and Hutson Metal workers had laid several large culverts. Peter Kiewit had just been awarded a contract for the million dollar Drinking Foun tain Bridge project and was scheduled to start work by July 15. Phoenix Student Gets Highest Mark Phoenix Richard A. Coul ter, Phoenix High school stu dent recently attending Beav er Boys' State at Corvallis, received the highest grade in an examination given in June to the 450 boys enrolled at Boys' State. The examination was given under the same circumstances as for any civil service exam ination. It dealt with political economy, American history, and the Constitution. Six awards were made for the six highest grades. As a result of his winning examina tion, Coulter was named as Acting Regional Director for the U.S. Civil Service com mission. The next five boys were designated as Acting Deputy Regional Directors. Coulter will be a senior at Phoenix High school and plans to continue his college education after graduation. He hopes to major in political science.

Lone Pine Families Build Themselves a Houseboat SPENDS TIME Drew - Mrs. Wallace Webb, a partner of Cougar Mine, of Edmonds, Wash., recently spent some time at the mine near Drew as a preliminary to a re-organization move. By DOT SIMMONS Lone Pine - Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Barnum and children Mike, 11, and Kathy, 6, who reside at 1684 Spring St., are at last able to enjoy a project that most families long for. Mr. and Mrs. Don Vessey, Mr. Ray Konopasek, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Anders and Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Young, the four sisters and a brother of Mrs. Barnum all had a part in making it come true. The group has completed a houseboat. Provided is cabin space of 8 by 18 feet with kitchen facilities, consisting of an ice box. folding table, stove and running water. In cluded is a deck space of 24 by 12 feet, featuring folding walkways. The top deck can be used for sunning, fishing and loafing. The houseboat is built on 16-50 gallon drums. Its weight is approximately 3,000 pounds. The group gave it a first' launching at Shasta Lake where they took a nine day pleasure trip recently. A total of 14 persons accom panied them. The project was begun about the first of March. Ap proximately eight week ends of work completed the proj ect. As time goes on, the group plans to add a steering wheel and bunk beds. This will no doubt wait until winter. The men explain they have solved a lot of problems for the families by being able to keep camping gear together, keeping everyone occu pied and using the boat to pull a smaller boat for water-skiing. The four sisters and one brother are the children of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Konopasek of 1334 Spring st. ,. it - l wm wt D T J?
