Freedom, Invention 'Synonymous" "All the great things in human history attest to the fact that freedom is synonymous with Invention, creative energy and indefinite power to renew and improve," he said. is proof that, far from hampering progress, freedom is Its very soul.

Draft plans for three lakes of 145, 55 and 45 acres; also for an Indoor swimming pool, living quarters for park attendant and office space. The bill already contained a section for the second option as adopted by the house and continued In effect a $1.5 million appropriation made by the 1974 legislature, of which about $1.1 million Is still on hand. Big Lake Financing The house earlier rejected a proposal to add $800,000 to help finance the "big lake" plan on grounds Its cost, variously estimated at $9-12 million, was too great and that the big lake's bottom would have to be covered with a surfacing to prevent leakage. Cost of the finger-lake approach la estimated at less than $3 million and backers say It can be completed in about two years. It is expected cost of the third option would be close to that of the second and that It, too, could be completed within two to three years.

After adopting the Keying amendment, the senate voted 46 to 2 to pass the entire bill. It made one other change in the house version, knocking out a section prohibiting the conservation commission from using any of its $4 million In the bill to finance construction of a marina at Gull Lake state park on Lake Okobojl.

Monday. Grease on stove at 1628 Park avenue SE. continuous left-turn lanes also are extensively used in California, liked the Idea. The only problem he saw was the use of the middle lane as a passing lane by Impatient drivers. What about head-on accidents In the middle lane Involving drivers from each direction wishing to make left turns? "Of course, there Is nothing to prevent such an accident," Meyer said.

But, he added, the probability of such an accident is low, and If one does occur It would be at low speeds. The biggest problem, Meyer continued, will be educating the public not to enter the middle left-turn lane too soon, so as to use up the entire length of the lane between blocks. The left-turn lane operations at the approach to intersections would, of course, remain the same as they are today. Meyer said the concept has been used In some areas for as long as 20 years. "It is endorsed by professional traffic engineers," he said.

The First avenue resurfacing will be done in sections. Section one will begin at Tenth street and proceed to Twentieth. Section two runs from Twentieth to the Milwaukee railroad overpass. The final section runs from the viaduct to Cedar Memorial. Estimates are that the overlay project can be completed in 22 working days.

However, finishing work such as rebuilding manhoiee will take must of the summer to complete. City officials said one-way traffic will be maintained on the side of the street where pavers are working. Meyer said some Intersections which have been designated as critical cannot be blocked by the pavers for more than a half hour. The city council also approved designation of haul road streets as needed by the contractor. This means there will be truck traffic on aSme streets tike Oakland, Center Point and avenue NE, where none la allowed now, for the duration of the resurfacing project.

He also cited the need for space for juries during recesses and for places for yers to confer with their clients during recesses. He noted that thr court space for jury trials (four courtrooms) is the same as It was when the courthouse was built 50 years ago, although two courtrooms for smaller hearings have been added.

There is an immediate need for one more courtroom for juries, he said, and a sixth Will be needed in two, three or four years. The number of criminal trials tripled in 1973 over 1974, he said, and the number is tikety to increase with the expected passage of the criminal code revision containing mandatory time to be served for certain crimes. The division of the court into two buildings causes severe administrative problems, Vietor told the supervisors. Appearing with the judge were John Shea, president of the Una County Bar Maurice ftathanson, president-elect of the association, and Larry Gutz, who has been krvohred in study of the law library needs. Linn supervisors received a request Tuesday for additional court space at the courthouse.

Supervisors took no action, but indicated a study of the court needs might be made and that the matter would be considered along with other county space needs, with the possibility that some offices might be relocated at the old county home building. Chief Judge Harold Vietor of the Sixth judicial district made a two-part proposal for court expansion of the courthouse. The first part would involve the courts taking over the entire second floor and Increasing the size of the second floor by putting a floor over the open space except for the center part, which would remain open from the first floor to the top. That would necessitate moving the offices of the clerk of court and the county attorney from that floor. The second step would be to move the part of the court now at the city's First avenue building into the courthouse.

Vietor said the Increase court activity requires that either the first step or something Uks It be taken immediately. He said the law library should be enlarged to at least field, 67.
