6 - SANDY (Ore.) POST Thurs., Jen. 13, 1972 (Sec. 1) PGE planning *80 million construction budget in 1972 State school officials support tax measure The board of directors of the Oregon School Boards Association, representing 345 local school districts, has gone on record in support of the five cents per pack cigarette tax at the Jan 18 special election. Passage of the measure would bring in an estimated $17.2 million and avoid the possibility of cutting general fund appropriations by 2 per cent—in the case of basic school support, $4 million—as threatened by the special session of the state legislature “ We cannot stand any cuts in an already meager state school aid budget. Any revenue loss would be passed on to Oregon citizens in the form of in creased property taxes,” Robert Ridgley, Association president and chairman of the Portland School Board, ex plained in announcing the OSBA stand. “ If the cigarette tax increase measure is defeated and the 2 per cent cuts take place, the $4 million loss in basic school support would mean an ap proximate $8 loss per pupil to each local school district in the state,” Ridelev emphasized. WALKER TRAVEL SERVICE 230 N E ROBERTS ST. OREGON TRAIL MALL GRESHAM. OREGON 97030 PHONE 666 1557 “ At a time when school districts throughout the state are faced with fiscal crises, we can’t expect Oregonians to make up this difference, and our local schools surely cannot suffer further retrenchment in programs,” Ridgley added Pointing out that the Oregon School Boards Association has long pushed for alternative school financing programs to relieve the property tax bur den, Ridgley observed that the passage of the cigarette tax increase “ would at least help us hold the line until meaningful school support changes are approved.” Hergerts buy new business Mr. and Mrs. Ken Hergert are the new owners of Shorty’s Corner Texaco Service Station, Garage and Grocery east of Sandy. The Hergerts are well known in the Gresham-Sandy area where Hergert and his sons have built a number of custom homes.

In 1855 Philip Foster, an early day pioneer, operated a general store at Eagle Creek which was the only store bet ween the Clackamas River and Independence, Mo.

Capital construction costs on the PGE system are estimated at $80 million, of which $44 million w ill go into the Trojan nuclear plant. Construction expenditures estimated at $6,148,900 are scheduled for “ the environment” in 1972. In discussing the specific projects involved in the en vironm ental package, PGE president Frank M. Warren said, “ The largest single item is about $2.6 million for con tinued construction of the cooling tower at Trojan. Total cost of the cooling tower w ill be about $7.7 m illion.” Other large items on the lis t include residential underground (the portion in excess of overhead costs), landscaping of sub stations, a fish hatchery at the Round Butte hydroelectric project, and increased costs of chipping trees and brush cut d u r in g r ig h t - o f- w a y preparation as compared to burning. Recreation areas, at Trojar? and other PGE parks and campgrounds, w ill take some $200,000 of the total; cost dif ferences between standard overhead construction with crossarms as compared to more expensive short brackets, the so-called “ tw ig ” con struction, w ill cost about $250,000 more. "We anticipate a 7-per cent increase in our power load in 1972,” Warren said, “ Basic causes of increased demands are a growing population, change, of livin g and working habits, and the ad ditional requirem ents for energy by commercial and industrial custom ers.” Con cerning his company’s en vironm ental costs, Warren said, “ Some of these ex penditures we are required to make, some are own choices; but either way those extra costs will be reflected in our cost of doing business and eventually in the cost of our product, which is electricity.” Thermal and hydroelectric generating plants are scheduled fo r capital ex penditures of $44.7 million with, as mentioned, Trojan responsible fo r nearly $44 million. As much money w ill be spent on underground distribution lines as on overhead. A half million dollars w ill go into special projects, planning and designing a new corporate headquarters, a western division headquarters, and a service center at Newberg. Five new substations will be built and 18 w ill be upgraded, expanded or completed during the year at a total cost of $4.5 million. Transmission lines, including costs of a line from Trojan to Harborton substation north of Linnton and various others across the PGE system, will cost $5.5 million.
