CITY 10 Bongor Doily New. Tuetdoy. April 9. 1974 Extension given in Pushaw case defers decision 1 a Street rezoning Council pn Ohio By Dennis Mills a Of the NEBS Staff I Bangor's city council decided Monday night to postpone action on two Controversial proposals to residential land along Ohio Street, between Westland Avenue and the griffin Road. The decision came after tjie council listened for more than two hours to Opponents and supporters of the rezoning measures Which would open up the i By Jim Byrnes Of the NEWS Staff ORONO The council granted a 10 day extension to the owners of the Cochran Property on Pushaw Pond to come forward with a plan and time schedule to bring the property up to code.

Attorney for the family, Mary L. told the council the' family was having difficulty in financing improvements as there was no assurance that the property would not be condemned unless all the work was done at once. The council asked that the owners try for a variance of state sewage disposal codes and then' submit a plan of work. Town Manager Robert A. Clark Sr.

was asked to discuss with the towns consultants on the problem of odor at the sewage disposal plant. Clark will determine if it is feasible to enclose the entire plant and thus eliminate odors. Some residents are asking for a reassessment of property values because of the A public hearing will be held April 11 in the council room to divide the town into voting districts.

Thats more than one third the traffic carried on Union Street, a major four lane road, McKay said. If the land is rezoned for high density housing, it is possible an additional' 12,000 trips per day would be made over the two-lane Ohio Street or almost as many cars as use McKay estimated. The opponents also argued that the rezoning plan would lead to pressure for commercial development along Ohio Street to serve the extra motorists.

Im asking you to consider the wishes of the people who are now and have for many years been residing in this area, McKay told the council. Meantime, lawyer Orman Twitchell, representing potential developers of a small apartment house complex, said that the land on outer Ohio Street is not suited for single family residential development because it backs up to the rear of the heavily developed commercial strip along Union Street. City Planner Carl Kosobud told the council that the planning board feels economic considerations dictate the need for a multi family housing zone in the area. Without such zoning, the land will not be fully developed, Kosobud said. Finally, councilor John Ballou moved the proposal be tabled until the next meeting to allow potential developers to draw- up plans for the council.

Ballous motion passed. Shrine Circus coming to Maine Bangor man arraigned in mothers slaying By Jeanne Steele Of the NEBS Staff What does one write about a murder arraignment? That the district court judge routinely read the police complaint to the. accused, telling him that because the charge was murder, he should not enter a plea as to his innocence or guilt? That the accused stood quietly before the bench, with a defense attorney he had met only moments before on his right, and another mam whom he knew to be the assistant county attorney on his left? That the accused looked tired and nervous? That he stood tall, with his hands clasped behind his back? That he wore plaid pants and a long sleeved cotton shirt and brown saddle shoes ith highisb heels, just like a lot of other young people his age? about all there is to tell about 21 year old Bruce C.

Eldred, of Bangor, from Ellen Marie 'ldred, of Bangor; A shower of flying rocks, a couple of aborted breaks, and a stolen car or two pretty much characterized the kinds of trouble which area police had to deal with Monday. Gregory Flemming reported to Bangor police The man, charged with the hammer slaying of his 42 year old mother, Eleanor, walked over to court from the Penobscot County jail next door at about 11 oclock. He was accompanied by state police detective Marvin Jones Bangor police detective Thomas Landers, men whom hed spent a lot of time with since early Sunday morning when police moved in to investigate his mothers death Once inside the courthouse, he was ushered into a small room to the rear of Judge Morris G. Pilots courtroom. Det.

Landers handed him a pack of cigarettes, then shut the door. A court officer came over and locked it. Forty five minutes passed, and then Frederick Badger and William MacDonald, both young Bangor attorneys, were given a couple minutes to speak with their new client before he was called before the bench for the formal reading of the murder charge against him. And that was about it. Judge Pilot told young Butcher that he understood he did not have enough money to employ an attorney and that the court, accordingly, had appointed Badger and MacDonald to represent him, There was a moments bewilderment in the courtroom when the judge explained that because of the nature of the charge, he was continuing the case until May 22 at 2 oclock, a longer than usual delay for a probable cause hearing.

But the error was quickly rectified by the judge who said he had meant to say Apnl 22. A few more words were exchanged. The defense attorneys requested leave to file a motion for bail at some later date. And then Bruce Butcher was on his way back to the jail. Butcher brings to four, the number of persons npw being held there awaiting trial for murder.

Virginia a yT a--school-committeeman, brought up the subject of the energy crisis in rebuttal, saying that a long two week Christmas holiday with students not returning to class until Monday, Jan. 6, would help to conserve fuel.
