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 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

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.
