Study Reveals Suburban, City Costs Similar Living in the suburbs is nut. ; most people think, a great deal less expensive than living in the city. This point is very clearly dram atized in two charts. Tables IS and 19. that are part of a study recently released by the city planning olfice. The study was requested by a chamber of com merce committee headed by Wil liam Sweetland. Comparing the service charges in average homes in the city and the Altamont, Lakcshore, Moyina. Pelican, Shasta, Stewart-Lenox. and Summers-Homedale areas it is shown in Table 13 that it costs city residents about $241 annually less than Altamont, Moyina, Shasta and Summers-Homedale and slightly more tnan Lakcshore, Pelican and Stewart-Lenox. However, as Table 19 shows, the degree of services received for this annual lab is considerably disparate, with the city getting the lion's share of services and the suburban area, in many cases, doing without completely. The special service districts that the suburban residents de pend on, waler, garbage disposal irrigation, fire, sewer and others, have not served as a panacea for suburban growth, the report states. "Experience has shown that, in many cases, special service dis tricts only provide an interim so lution to the problem, and that the ultimate solution lies in the provision of tliese -services through a central form of gov ernment," Ken Blackman, plan ning consultant and report author, writes. However, the level of services required by suburban area resi dents will not necessarily be the same as those required hy city residents, the report continues. To test the adequacy of some of the siieeial service districts some questions that should be posed are: 1. Are lite sewage disposal facil ities functioning adequately for the protection of the public health? 2. Are (lie roads insuring the safety of the motoring public? 3. Does the park district satisfy the demands of the district? 4. Is the general welfare of the district area being promoted by the various district development standards? As the suburban area gets dens er costs will get higher quickly as the level of services required grows. Some of the suburban area'6 growing pains have already been show ing and as the population be came denser the soil w as no long er able to absorb septic tank fluids and it was necessary to form a sanitary sewer district at a cost of $1,800,000. The Wiard Park District was also formed to provide park serv ice to the area residents and tlie bumper crop of children in the suburbs is making obvious the need of more classroom space. Some other suburban needs that will become necessities as the area continues to develop are street lights and fire hydrants. There are several ways a grow ing suburban area can provide it self with services. To some ex tenl urban services have been provided suburban areas simply by the extension of some citv services to persons adjacent to cilies, but outside corporate bouiv darics. The counlies have also taken tlie role of providing urban serv ices such as police protection. health services and local improve ments. "Perhaps the most com mon device for providing urban services in suburban areas dur ing recent years has been to or ganize special districts." says Blackman in his report. However, "financially tliey sometimes turn out to be more expensive than city government, and politically and administratively they become unwieldy when established in a superimposed and overlapping manner," he states. There is always the possibility of annexation. Annexation, Black man notes, would require the city to expand its services into the suburbs and would be very cosily to the city. "It is difficult to estimate with any degree of accuracy tlie exact effcel the expansion of city serv ices would have on city finances without knowing the exact area to be annexed," he said. After the planning consultant mil lilies the degree of expansion necessary in such departments as police, ire, recreation, street, and administration, he concludes, "it would appear more logical and feasible for any proposed annexa tion program to be geared to an nexing small areas, properly timed so as not to place a burden on any particular city department.

The shed was part of the saw mill and planing equipment which was to be sold at auction Aug. 20. Damage was not immediately estimated. The shed was used to store lumber stock, but was near ly empty. Firemen had the blaze under control and nearly out within an hour. Twenty one pieces of equip ment responded to the four alarms.
