JUNE 1, 1972 By Ac« Reid Try, Try, Try Again The city of Sandy will seek for the third time this spring to get voter approval for a budget for next year. The city officials have cut the budget reducing the tax rate by over one dollar per $1,000 of true cash value. Yet at the same time, the council also made funds available for the hiring of a city administrator this January. Both the move to cut the budget to lower taxes and the budgeting of a city administrator were done by the council to meet the demands of city voters. We agree with the city council and hope the city voters will also on June 6 by passing the budget More Serious Look Needed - It was obvious from the meeting with the Army Corps of Engineers that they had no set plan for the Sandy river, but rather were acting to follow up on authority given them by- Congress. The meeting could have been more m eaningful if the Corps had presented information on the need for flood control. Instead they just kept saying there was a need for it. We also feel there is a need for some form of flood control work and at the same time this work could be used to improve the environment of the River area, especially the fish habitat. Yet we question the Corps doing the job, seeing the problems the state is having with them to meet en vironmental standards. Also we have heard of the Corps use of cement to replace river banks. We feel the flood control problem on the Sandy river needs a more serious look by all. OEL&ON STATE HIGHWAY DIVISION COCCI DOC ANO DESIGN MEACING M AP BOEING COAD INTECCMANGEL MT.

LETTERS ToThe EDITOR / Editor, The Sandy Post: After reading your editorial in the May 25th Sandy Post I conclude we must have had our wires crossed when I talked to you on election day last week For one thing, I know what my precinct is (No. 373) and had no trouble whatsoever in voting at the proper polling place. What I was trying to convey to you was that the recent alteration of precinct boundary lines and Clay Myers' peculiar re d is tric tin g methods have resulted in confusion on both ends of the ballot box For example: In past elections candidates from precinct 373 and Sandy’s precinct 101 have been identical (and still should be). Since information on precinct 373 was o m itte d from the v o te rs ’ pamphlet, it was not until I received my ballot that I found what changes had been made in my state representative and senatorial districts T hey are now not only co m p letely d iffe re n t from Sandy’s 101 but also those of my other neighboring precincts 371 and 372 The reasons for this change are not obvious to me (and some may be good ones) but I feel I should have been informed of them in advance of the election. In addition, I live on the west Mde of Langensand Rd., the old precinct 373 boundary line, which has now been moved a * mile or two eastward. My d aughter and her husband have recently built a house just across the road from me on the east side of Langensand Rd which was formerly in precinct 372, but is now in 373. They both registered at this address in March at the Sandy fire hall (but on different days). My daughter was notified later that she was in precinct 373 but her husband found himself in 372 As a consequence she voted in 373 for a representative from district 26, while he, in 372, voted for candidates from representative district 55 and senatorial district 28 They did not realize until they got home (due to the fact that 373 was not listed in the voters^ pamphlet) that they were voting in dif ferent districts I can imagine that this farce was repeated many times over in the prim ary election due to the aforem entioned state redistricting and changes in precinct boundary lines I don’t know how others in this situation may feel about this gerrymander, but I feel th at I have been la rg e ly disenfranchised Sincerely, Elizabeth Hartman Rt 2, Box 626 Sandy, Oregon LETTERS TO THE C o n tin u e d EDITOR on page 4 Choir to perform The Gresham Boys’ Choir concert will be at 8 p m .
