; V
ncorporation of Shady Cove Being Investigated
u Shady Cove-The possibility
f incorporation as a means
of assuring planned expan
sion and protection of the
area Is being investigated by
residents of Shady Cove, a
rapidly growing community
on the Crater Lake Highway
between Eagle Point and
Prospect.
Launching the current in
vestigation is the major proj
ect of the Shady Cove Plan
ning association, organized in
January this year. It is com
posed of representatives of
service clubs, businesses, the
Shady Cove-Trail fire district,
and the schools.
Shady Cove, with a popu
lation of 1,300, (a conservative
figure, according to the asso
ciation) has but one organized
effort for the protection of its
citizenry. This is the Shady
Cove-Trail fire district, asso
ciation spokesmen maintain.
Reporting to all citizens,
the association, through the
secretary, Mrs. Arlene Walsh,
has reviewed the history of
the area, which had 904 resi
dents in 1959. The report also
predicts the future growth to
be expected and calls atten
tion to the problems which a
population increase will "ag
gravate, such as health and
sanitation, water supply, sew
age disposal and law enforce
ment." About 10 years ago an ini
tial attempt to incorporate
was made at Shady Cove. The
attempt failed, many people
think because of a false im
pression that the incorpora
tion would commit the citi
zens to levy a particular tax
rate.
The needs cited today are
protections and controls. The
Shady Cove Planning associa
tion meets the second and
fourth Thursday of each
month to consider ways of ac
complishirig these needs.
Members report they have
received encouraging support
from the Jackson county plan
ning commission.
Make Population Increase
The Rogue Basin project,
with dam construction plan
ned at the Lost Creek site, is
expected to bring both tran
sient and permanent popula
tion increases to Shady Cove,
the association points out. .
Delegates of the association
are Ed Houston, representing
the Grange; Mcl Gibson, Ro
tary; Archie Worth, Lions, Dr.
D. L. Hayes, schools, and Ray
Chubb, businessmen.
The only purpose of the as
sociation, these delegates em
phasize, "is and has been to
assess the local situation and
to gather information from all
levels of government to ascer
tain the best method of pro
cedure for planned expansion;
to determine, the assistance
and financial aid that could
be reasonably expected from
outside sources; and to ac
quaint residents of Shady
Cove with the results of their
investigation."
Individuals and agencies
contacted, the report recites,
agree that a continuing popu
lation increase will bring
serious problems to Shady
Cove which will demand im
mediate solution.
These outside sources also
agree that in the final analy
sis Shady Cove residents will
have to solve the problems for
themselves and that "it is far
wiser to do so by preliminary
planning and organization
than to wait until the prob
lem is at hand and then pos
sibly be forced to accept the
dictates of county or state."
The first realization of the
association was that Shady
Cove has no legally recog
nized, organized body with
which any agency can conduct
negotiations. This realization
has been amplified by city,
county, state and federal rep
resentatives, who have con-,
ferred with association repre
sentatives. Must Be Legal Party
In order to get any finan
cial aid or even to start ne
gotiations for aid there must
be a "legally recognized or
ganized body" that represents
the majority opinion of the
residents, spokesmen have
been informed.
"The consensus of all the
representatives of each level
of government interviewed is
that the best method of pro
cedure would be to incorpor
ate as soon as it is possible to
do so," the community repre
sentatives stated.
In discussing the incor
poration of a city it was em
phasized that "a city provides
the machinery through which
the people may obtain various
services they desire and for
which they are willing to pay
but that the incorporation of
a city does not, (and the
group repeated the does
not) commit the city to pro
vide any particular service or
to levy any particular tax
rate."
Advantages In Flexibility
"The advantages of incor
poration lie in the fact that
it provides greater flexibility
immediately in procedures
and in financing and allows
for expansion of activity as
additional problems arise in
the city," the report of the
association continues.
"The incorporation act pro
vides that there shall be five
councilmen, a municipal judge
and such other officers as the
council deems necessary. The
mayor and members of the
council receive no salary and
there are no legal require
ments with reference to sal
aries. These are determined
by the city council."
People of an area, (no part
of which lies in an incorpor
ated city) may incorporate If
there are 150 of them. The
election to ballot on incorpor
ation is set up through peti
tioning the county court. The
petition must carry the names
of 20 per cent of the voters
of the area seeking incorpora
tion. If the majority approves
the proposal at the polls the
incorporation becomes a
reality.

Shortage of Timber
In Western Oregon
Forecast in Study
Eugene - Western Oregon
a leading national timber pro
ducing area, aces a timber
shortage in the near future,
according to an extensive
study published this month
by the University of Oregon
bureau of business research. .
The study by Dr. Louis
Hamill, instructor in geogra
phy at the university, indi
cates that contrary to popular
belief there are many evi
dences that the forest re
source of western Oregon is
not capable of supporting
much longer a high level of
production and employment
in wood processing industries.
The study, entitled "A
Forecast of the Forest Re
source and Industry of Doug
las and Lane Counties," is
available for $2 from the bu-
reau of business research,
University of Oregon, Eugene,
Ore.
Dr. Hamill points out that
since 1851 total employment
In the wood processing indus
try of western Oregon has de
creased, but that there has
been a tendency to view this
downturn as the result of
poor markets and competi
tion from other areas.
Not Supported
The assumption that when
markets improve there will
be a general improvement in
the wood processing indus
tries is not supported by the
evidence, he writes.
He shows that there has
been an over-use of private
timber, an under-use of public
timber, and inadequate man
agement of both types of
ownership. "This pattern of
use had to result in timber
shortages at some time, and
that time seems to have ar
rived," Dr. Hamill writes.
At the same time, he con
tinues, published information
about forest resources of west
ern Oregon is not adequate
to determine clearly the abil
ity of the resource to support
required levels of employ
ment in the future.
Of Great Importance
"This fact is of great im
portance, for it indicates that
there is not adequate informa
tion available about timber,
the natural resource which is
most crucial to the future eco
nomic development of Ore
gon." "The declining level of em
ployment in wood processing
that may occur after 1980
with rapid depletion of pri
vate timber may well be detri
mental to the continued
growth of the area," he
writes.
Although he reports that
the forest resource of Lane
county seems capable of sup
porting a high level of pro
duction to the end of this cen
tury without serious damage
to the resource, if the 1960
rale of depletion of private
timber is continued or in
creased a substantial decrease
in production will be required
after 1980. Under any cir
cumstances, total log produc
tion must be decreased in
Douglas county after 1980.
