Measure 2 may
harm Albany
ALBANY (AP) — If Ballot
Measure 2 passes in November,
Albany schools could meet the
financial crisis by imposing a
list of stringent money saving
actions, according to a citizens’
advisory report.
Those actions could include
closing and consolidating
schools, laying off up to one
fifth of the staff, eliminating
programs and services, and
freezing or reducing salaries.
Howard Hickam is an Albany
banker and chairman of the
nine-member citizens’ group.
He told the Albany School
Board Monday night it would
take a combination of the op
tions to come up with the
estimated $5 million Measure 2
would sap from district coffers.
"That’s 35 percent of our pre
sent budget," he told the board.
"If our budget has to be reduced
by that amount, I don’t have to
tell any of you here that our
district will face hard times
ahead."
If approved, Measure 2 would
limit property taxes to IV2 per
cent of assessed value. Voters
could override the limit in elec
tions in which at least 50 per
cent of registered voters take
part.
"No one of the options would
do the job.. . but we can meet
the crisis if it does develop,”
Hickam told the board.
"It’s important the communi

thing doesn’t pass," he added.
Committee member Gary
Dahlinger suggested residents
pick up copies of the report
from the district office, and
share them with friends.
"Talk to people one-on-one,"
he said. "It would be tragic (if
Measure 2 passes).”
Hickam said the advisory
committee met nine times to
study the impact of Measure 2
on Albany schools. Its job was
to come up with options the
district could take if the
measure passes.
Among the options it detailed
to the board:
• Move to a four-day school
week, saving $652,000.
• Eliminate 21 programs, in
cluding kindergarten, music,
driver education, school nurses,
counseling, library, athletics
and free and reduced-price
lunches.
• Reduce services and programs
in 13 areas, including adaptive
physical education, programs
for those with learning
disabilities, speech and hearing
problems, and the emotionally
disturbed.
• Freeze or reduce salaries at
1984-85 levels.
Senate passes
timber bill
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Senate overwhelmingly approv
ed and sent to the House on
Wednesday a bill that would
allow companies facing
bankruptcy because of a
depressed market for lumber
and plywood buy their way out
of government timber contracts.
The contracts were signed in
the late 1970s and early 1980s.
when there were predictions of
increased home building, at
prices well above today’s
market value for timber cut in
national forests.
Although he said he disliked
the bill, Sen. Howard M.
Metzenbaum, D-Ohio, voted for
the compromise measure he had
forced on Western senators.
Metzenbaum said the final ver
sion could save taxpayers as
much as $1.9 billion.
He blamed the situation on a
“wildly speculative bidding
binge” that drove contract
prices to 400 percent of the ap
praised value of the timber.
If a timber contract cannot be
met when it comes due, the
government usually resells the
timber and bills the original
purchaser the difference bet
ween the bid price and the final
selling price.
During debate on the issue,
Sen. Daniel J. Evans, R-Wash.,
said by forcing companies to
honor the contracts “we would
be requiring companies to pay
from empty treasuries.”
Some firms already have gone
out of business, he said,
because they were obligated to
buy the timber and process it in
to lumber and plywood at a
price that could never be
recovered at today’s market
prices.
Other companies are in
bankruptcy proceedings and
may be saved by the new
legislation. But Sen. Slade Gor
ton, R-Wash., said that because
companies will be forced to buy
at least 45 percent of the timber
they contracted for, “there are
some companies for whom this
is not enough.”
