Senate Public Lands Subcom- mittee was reported today to have tentatively agreed on a!uP lne 011 Ior.a vole- " coula compromise Oregon Dunes Na tional Seashore bill that includes most of the boundaries proposed , by Rep. Robert Duncan (D- Ore.). The subcommittee held a clos ed meeting Tuesday. Florence Residents Opposed to Seashore FLORENCE (UPI) Most residents of the Florence area still are opposed to the pro posed Oregon Dunes National Seashore park desipte the more conservative boundaries reported approved by a Senate subcommittee, Mayor Stuart Johnstos said today. Johnston said the area al ready included county, state and U.S. Forest Service parks, and added: "We're satisfied with what we have." Duncan has proposed a 30.000 acre dunes park running from Florence to Ten Mile creek near Lakeside. Sen. Maurine Neu berger (D-Ore.) had introduced a bill calling for a 42.000 acre park and Interior Secretary Stewart Udall favored an ex pansion of the Neubergcr bill to 44,000 acres. Less Condemnation The subcommittee was report ed to favor the Duncan bound aries because they would result in condemnation of less private property. Duncan has estimated 4,555 acres now under private ownership would be included in his park. I he Neuberger and Udall pro posals included about 10,- 000 acres of privat land and would have cost an estimated $7.5 million for land acquisition, compared to $1.9 million for the Duncan park. Partially Developed The Neuberger plan would in clude land 'South of Ten Mile creek which has been partially developed as an industrial site and additional private property around Woahink, Tahkentitch and Siltcoos lakes east of U.S. Highway 101. The Duncan bill provides pub lic access to those fresh-water lakes, but does not include as many private homes. Both Duncan and Neuberger bills make unimproved and com mercial property subject to con demnation. Residential property cannot be condemned if govern ment - approved zoning ordin ances are passed.

Eight separate amendments to the document on the worship of the church were ratified at to day's session of the council by top-heavy majorities.

Today'.) voting was on specific amendments to the draft document on provid ing for this and numerous other reforms in the liturgy. The effect of the amendments approved today is to make it clear that the use of modern Ian- guages is optional with the bish ops of each country and those who wish to continue in all Latin mass may do so. They also provide for a wider use of vernacular than the or iginal text would have done. For example, the original text would have restricted modern lan guages to the reading of the Gospel and Epistles and certain other portions of the so-called "fore-Mass." An amendment approved to day by a vote of 2,212 to 47 says that if local circumstances warrant, modern languages may be used in all parts of the Mass which "belong to the people." That is those chants and re sponses in which the congrega tion is supposed to participate, such as the Credo and Sanctus. Wider Use Possible Another very significant amendment, approved 2,149 to 67, says that a still wider use of modern languages may be permissible if proposed by the bishops of a country and ap nrnved bv the Pone.

ASHLAND The electric com. mittee of the Ashland citv rmm. cil last night recommended that councilmen turn down irom Pacific Power and Light company to buy the city's elec trical system for $2 million. The report was filed. The council is scheduled to vote on the question next Tuesday. Emmett Whitham, temporary chairman of the committeo nr. sented the five - page report, voicing the opinion that it would be to the economic advantage of Ashland citizens to retain the municipal electric system. Income In Past The report said that during the last 10 years, the net income to the city from sale of clec tricity was approximately $2, 020,000. The committee express ed concern that if the system were sold, this income would be lost after ultimate expenditure of funds from the sale. , The income was brought in by rates comparable to those of PP&L, the report said. Whitham added that with growth of the city, the antici pated income during the next 10 years would approximate $225,000 annually, rising to a figure of about $290,000 annually in 20 years. He pointed to the industrial growth of Eugene and McMinn ville, both of which have mu nicipal electrical systems. He said it was not a question of public versus private owner ship, but rather one of the wel fare of the entire community. grounds this year. Three o( them are in the Applegate area. Brown said. The other two on the Applegate district are at Cook and Green and Jackson. The drilling is part of the for est service program for im provement of all recreational campgrounds.

Lots of water throughout the recreational areas of I he for est is now mildly polluted and will not pass the standards nf the state health department, Brown emphasized. To get wa ter that will meet standards fre quently requires drilling deep wells. The forest service contracts for the drilling. The pollution can be corrected by installation of small chlorinators but the forest service prefers to avoid this treatment wherever possible.
