area another 50 feet for the length of the block This would have left a narrow strip along its western edge zoned for residential uses only OPPOSITION BLUNT Adjoining home owners were outspoken and blunt in their opposition to the proposal Tempers were at a low boiling point — on both sides Spokesman for the opposition forces was Robert Coleman a Roy businessman who presented sumhis arguments in a mary But it all boiled down to the fact that a shopping center — and accompanying heavy traffic — would constitute a hazard to children and would damage residential property values 10-poi- Mortgage requests joining property owners might get short treatment he said Loans on these homes would be difficult to negotiate because of the proximity of the center and home sales would thus be more difficult MIGHT BE WEED PATCH A stretch of property in the block would go unused and might develop into a weed patch the spokesman said (Presumably he had reference to the 100-fo- ot strip which would remain resi- dential but which might not be developed for that purpose) Residents he went on would be subject to the distressing noises of heavy traffic plus the litter that a shopping center would

has been assured that the disputed area was residential "Otherwise I might not have bought" he said In California he said laws prohibit building a shopping center within six blocks of a school The proposed Roy center would be only a block from Roy Junior High he pointed out "Let's not" he said "infringe on residential rights" Mr Russell who had stood in the hall through part of the meeting put in an appearance when Mayor C W Rapp called for some views from proponents of the change Clearly out of patience with what had transpired Mr Kusseu said with some heat that he loved "progression and I
