Council Hears Objections
To Rezonng, Street Pans
The city council took It on the
chin last night in the regular meet
ing In city hall.
The city officials first received
a verbal blasting at the public
hearing on the proposed rezonlng
of the Gus Lampropulos property
on Martin and Halley streets.
Only one person raised an ob
jection to changing the tone from
Class II residential to business so
that Lampropulos will be enabled
to move his grocery store from
Main Street to make room for a
super service station.
She was Emma Boivin. 631 Wil
low Avenue. She began by telling
the council that "If he wants to
move let him put up a new. lire
proof building."
And before she was finished she

Itave the council his verbal resign
nation Monday nisht at the regu
lar meeting of the city councU.
Mayor Paul Landry, with the ap
proval of the council will appoint
a successor to Morrison at a fu
ture meeting. Morrison's resigna
tion was necessary because he is
movlnz outside the city limits.
In further business Monday night
the council heard the first and tec-
ond readings of an ordinance
which will require all downtown
business establishments to build
covered cabinets to hold at least
too 60 gallon garbage cans. Com
pliance with this ordinance will be
required 30 days alter the third
ajd last reading of the ordinance
at a future council meeting. Vio
lation of the ruling will brine a
line of S5 to 100 and, or, a five
, to 60 day Jail sentence.
?h council heard first and sec
ond readings of an ordinance au
thorizing the negotiation of an op
tion taken by the Oregon Slate
Highway Commission for the com
mission to purchase 12 to 15 city
owned kits In the Buena Vista Ad
dition. These lots are from Main
Street to the North Entrance and

the right of way for the projected

had blasted everything from lack
of sidewalks to unclean streets.
That was only the beginning.
The council then heard the com
plaints of 11 citizens on Washburn
Way. They objected to the city's
plans lor making this street an
arterial for traflic to the proposed
Eastside bypass.
The area in question U from
Eberlein to Darrow Street. The
city has expressed the Intention
of widening the street to 36 feet
to expedite traffic. The property
owners were not sympathetic with
this idea.
One woman feared that such
traffic would "Jeopardize her chil
dren's lives."
Another resident anticipated that
trucks would use the street and
ruin property value.. The council
must still set a public hearing on
the matter. The city assesses the
property owners for 26 feet of pave
ment, and if it wishes to make it
wider, pays the extra cost itself.
The city attorney will draw up
resolution to Initiate action.
The council felt in a "no parking
mood at the meeting. The members
abided by the recommendations of
the Traflic Safety Council and
wiped out parking in seven loca
tions. The total parking lost was
about 70 places.
The council did add one meter
to partially substitute for the loss.
This one Is to go in on Eighth
Street between High and Pine.
In other business the council
Ordered a survey to be made for
a playground in the Shippington
district between Bly and Bismarck.
The owner Is Gus Krause.

mission to fill the spot vacated by

pired. Instructed that a letter be written
to the Department of Interior ap

newal between California Oregon
Power Company and the Bureau
of Reclamation for regulation of
