Election to be held May 18 Officials back tax proposal By Stove Hooke Of ttn Emtrald Elected Lane County officials rallied Wednesday morning at the county commissioners' chambers for voter support of a $10-million increase in the county tax base If approved on the May 18 ballot, the proposal — known as Measure 8 — increases the present tax base from $4.2 million to $14.2 million. If the proposal is not approved, Lane County faces a “financial disaster of the first order,” said Mike Williams, acting chairer of the county budget committee County service levels would be reduced drastically, he added "We re not crying wolf This is real," Williams said. The sheriff and the mayors of Eugene and Springfield also showed up to plug the measure. We in the cities in no way can pick up those services” lost to county budget cuts, Springfield Mayor John Lively said. Eugene Mayor Gus Keller asked citizens to take a "long, serious look" at the ballot measure. It would be too easy to vote "no” without knowledge of the consequences, he said. “Criminals know no bounda ries,” Sheriff Dave Burks said. His staff of 24 patrol deputies would be pared down to seven deputies, and the department would lose one of its four investigators, he said. One unsolved homicide could tie up the three investigators for months, leaving other crimes to go uninvestigated, he said Commissioner Scott Lieuallen said the county budget com mittee, county commissioners, mayors and civic groups unanimously endorse the ballot measure. According to a Lane County handout on the measure, a $40,000 homeowner would pay $60 more per year in property taxes. The state constitution allows a 6-percent annual increase in the tax base without voter approval. Voters decide at the polls on any increase over the 6-percent limitation Civil defense looked at The Reagan administration's seven-year civil defense program disclosed in late March led Students for a Nuclear-Free Future to sponsor a forum on how to prepare tor a nuclear attack. The administration’s program is designed to provide for survival of a substantial portion of the population in the event of nuclear attack . ” Steve Williamson, who coins himself a “survivalist,’’ told the 40 people at Tuesday night's meeting in the EMU that "nobodv can take care of you but you.” 7 People should start now to prepare for a nuclear holocaust ZSSLZSSl"* 3 chance to come throu9h *he initial catastrophe, Williamson said. His advice is to buy canned food when on sale and to collect water storage containers, propane a medical kit, hand garden tools, and Clorox bleach (to disinfect the contaminated water). But Glen Gordon, a Eugene physician and member of Physicians for Social Responsibility, says there is no way to prepare for a nuclear war because no one will be around to provide medical care. 10 I think the 'survivalist' view is a very self-concerned view and I appreciate that. But we are social people who live together in a society, and it seems very important to me in the whole issue of nuclear war that we maintain our community.” Classifieds gjfllj CuHural Forum presents MARK TWAIN on WAR PEACE (Including The War Prayer) WSIlam McLain aa Marti Twain turns social critic lor the '80s Tl lakes a very original person to imitate a master as me master would imitate himself And (he does) it well " Bill Moyers Sunday, May 9, 8 pm Beall Hall, UO Tickete $2.50 students *? 50 general public At the EMU Main Desk and at the door Endorsed by Clergy and Laity Con cerned 88? 5-7 English Department and EMU Cultural Forum present From the Russian Cinema KING LEAR T ranslated into Russian by Nobel Prize winner Boris Pasternak directed by Grigon Kozintsev and scored by Dmitri Shostakovich, this production is a vi sually stunning and haunting realization ot what is perhaps Shakespeare s most difficult tragedy 7 ?0 PM 107 Lawrence $150 Thursday.
