I Bill Provides Land Money State Senator Don S. W lllner last Thursday proposed an amendment to the Constitution authorizing $10 m illion In bonds to acquire lands and easements along the scenic waterways of Oregon for recreational pur poses. The Joint resolution was Introduced at the request of State T reasu rer Robert W. Straub. The bonds w ill provide ade quate funds for the W illam ette River Greenway project and also for a scenic waterways system which W lllner has pro posed (SB 515). The Greenway was an Idea advanced by Straub In the recent gubernatorial campaign. It was endorsed by Gov. M cC all, who has moved to create a Greenway Commis sion. W lllner described theG reen- way project as "universally ac cla im ed ." "T h e re Is a fear on the part of many, however,” he said, "that we must move faster In providing funds to acquire necessary lands and ease ments. Otherwise land values w ill skyrocket and the project w ill be priced out of exist ence." Straub suggested that about $6 m illion should be allocated fo r acquisition In the W illa mette Greenway project, and that the remainder be available for other scenic waterways In the state. W lllner has in troduced legislation to estab lish a Scenic Waterways System to Include such streams as the D e s c h u t e s , Grande Ronde, Owyhee, Rogue, Imnaha, John Day, L ittle Deschutes, and the McKenzie.
