The growth-related ballot measures will allow the city to charge benefited landowners for the cost of water and sewer Improvements in developing areas of the city. Ballot Measure 54 will pass on the cost of reservoirs, pump stations and rights-of-way and easements. Yes votes were 1069 and the no votes were 7373. Ballot Measure 55 will shift the expense for sewer rights-of-way and easements.

The vote count was 11,251 yes and 6379. More than half of the city's transit system would have been cut if voters had rejected Ballot Measure 51. Defeat would have trimmed the present 14 bus routes to six and more than risk uJJgr A vr7v AI Onto Iro ifwoi thow high tamnafOlwrat or area. NATIONAL WUTHEI SERVICE. NOAA.

National weather Weather Station By Tht Aieeritled fnm I By LANCE DICKIE OrtfM Suieemia Reporter Salem's Cherriot buses will continue to at full strength as voters strongly approved a new two-year mass transit levy, according to unofficial returns yarly Wednesday morning.

jIThe $548,000 per year levy will finance ihe present 14-route, Monday through Saturday service, plus pay for special service for handicapped persons and Express runs for commuters. The final, unofficial tally in favor of the buses was 11,193 yes and 7,920 no. One other money measure on the ballot did not fair as well. Voters rejected a five-year, $800,000 per year levy to pay for increased street cleaning and installation of hundreds of new street lights. The measure would have used $500,000 Toasting $600,000 in federal operating grants would have been lost.

The levy approved by voters Tuesday will be spent as follows: $455,000 for the existing basic bus service which runs six days a week, 13 hours a day; $35,000 to operate two vans and provide door-to-door transportation for the handicapped and $58,000 to pay for express bus service during daily rush hours. Alderman Peter Courtney spear-headed a citizen group organized under the banner of Keep The Buses Rolling. Defeat of the street maintenance and street lighting levy will keep the city on its present cleaning cycle which puts crews through residential areas every 25 days and through the business district every three. Aldrich likes council prospects (From Page 1A.) for weeks by questions about Schneider's legal residency in the West Salem. Monday, one day before the election, the Salem City Council accepted findings of a city attorney's investigation that Schneider did indeed reside in her disputed West Salem home.

Three city races were uncontested on Tuesday's ballot. First-time office seekers Jim Rabe and Connel Dyer were elected without opposition to the city counci. Municipal Judge Wayne Thompson was unopposed for another term on the bench. He was Salem's first full-time municipal judge and has held the job since 1969. Aldrich, who found himself on the short side of numerous council votes will be the flag bearer for a new and most likely conservative majority on the nine member council.

"I think it will be very nice," Aldrich said of the prospects of working with a few votes on his side. "I think we will be able to work together right from day one as opposed to some real friction" during his early days with the present council. The majority "will give us an opportunity to take a look at things we are doing at city hall," the mayor said. "That combined along with Mr. Hanley (Ralph Han-ley, new Salem city manager) we will be Stateamaa phote by Divid Welntrtub night Albany 82 43 cdy Albu'que 88 53 clr Amanllo 92 60 cdy Anchorage 55 43 32 rn Asheville 77 64 31 cdy Atlanta 83 65 clr AtlanticCty 76 50 rn Baltimore 77 50 rn Birmingham 80 65 31 cdy Bismarck 80 54 rn Boise 53 45 31 cdy Boston 84 58 cdy Brownsville 93 73 cdy Buffalo 78 50 cdy CharlstnSC 81 74 cdy CharlstnWV 77 58 35 rn Chicago 62 58 38 cdy Cincinnati 77 61 38 rn Cleveland 72 49 31 rn Columbus 70 58 .16 rn DalFt.Wth 86 70 cdy Denver 82 48 cdy DesMoines 73 59 21 cdy Detroit 73 49 cdy Duluth 77 45 clr Fairbanks 60 46 cdy Hartford 86 51 rn Helena 57 43 rn Honolulu 75 68 132 cdy Houston 87 72 cdy Ind'apolis 75 61 39 cdy Jacks'ville 88 68 cdy Juneau 64 38 cdy Kan'sCity 83 61 37 cdy LasVegas 83 68 cdy LittleRock 89 68 clr LosAngeles 68 58 cdy Louisville 85 65 35 cdy Memphis 90 70 cdy Miami 85 71 cdy Milwaukee 59 47 cdy 77 52 clr Nashville 89 65 39 cdy NewOrleans 90 68 cdy NewYork 78 62 rn Norfolk 79 55 rn Okla.City 88 68 cdy Omaha 74 60 29 cdy Orlando 92 67 cdy PalmSprings 86 66 clr Philad'phia 78 54 cdy Phoenix 94 68 clr Pittsburgh 66 56 .10 cdy P'tlandJMe.

More than 500 street lights would have been installed each year with the balance of the levy. Unofficially, yes votes for the street maintenance and lighting levy were 8,473 and the no votes totalled 10,307. A proposal to use an existing park levy to pay off bonds for park land purchases was passed by voters. The city currently levies a 37 cent tax per $1,000 valuation to buy and develop park land.

Ballot Measure 52 will authorize use of 21 cents of that existing tax to pay off a $3.5 million bond issue for land purchases. The measure drew 9,423 yes votes and 9,087 no votes.

The last, in September, was conducted under the threat of school closure. "I hate to come up to the electorate and threaten to close the schools," Kendrick said, "but it might happen if there's a defeat in August." Tuesday's defeat reinforces a pattern in Salem School District politics: Since 1967, school budgets have been approved in a first attempt only five times.

In all but a single instance, the School Board returned with smaller budgets. In 1969, when the board offered once-disenchanted voters a budget of the same size, the "no" vote increased by more than 3,500. paign workers Tom left, president of celebrates with and Florence Makey.
