However, one key to the ci
ty ’s willingness to share in
volves sought securement
of Port land-owned water
rights in the Little Sandy
The city manager and
Mayor Ruth Loundree have
negotiated two years to ac
quire these water rights
deeded in Bull Run Act as
watershed for Portland.
That would give Sandy a
too-year water supply for
plenty of room for growth
and service. Jordan said
Supplying water to the

presents a couple of pro
blems for Sandy. Jorda
pointed out Some of the
water systems’ lines may
be in poor repair Also,
Sandy would have trouble
negotiating as wholesale
water supplier, since the
communities lack organiz
ed political groups with
recognized spokesmen with
whom to deal The city ap
p a re n tly would be in
terested only in selling
surplus water to other

TAX BASE SDL <.IIT
While Sandy seems to
have a giant’s share ot
water within its grasp, it
lacks the security of a tax
base to handle its growth
City Council members
Monday argued merits ol
fighting to pass a tax base
levy November
Jordan noted that the
p re se n t
y e a r-to y e a r
operating levies to finance
c ity g o v e rn m e n t are
limited by law to 6 percent
annual increase, while the
city is growing It percent
annually.
Councilman Jim Duff
noted that the Sandy Fire
District secured a new tax
base for breathing room to
grow, but the city of Sandy
has failed throughout its 50
years to pass one

THE SABBATH
20. It was sacredly preserved in the ark in
the HOLY of Holies. Deut. 10:1-5
21. God forbade work upon the Sabbath,
even in the most hurrying times. Ex.
34:21.
22. God destroyed the Israelites in the
wilderness because they profaned the
Sabbath. Ezek. 20:: 12
23. It is the sign of the true God, by which
we are to know Him from false gods.
Ezek. 20:20
God promised that Jerusalem should stand forever if the Jews would
keep the Sabbath. Jer. 17:24,25
He sent them into the Babylonish captivity for breaking it. Nehe.
13:18
He destroyed Jersualem for its violation. Jer. 17:27.
God has pronounced a special blessing on all the Gentiles who will
keep it. Isa. 56:6.7
This is in the prophecy which refers wholly to the Christian dispensa
tion. Isa. 56
God has promised to bless all who keep the Sabbath. Isa. 56:2
The Lord requires us to call it "HONORABLE.'' Isa. 58:13. Beware, ye
who take delight in calling it the "old Jewish Sabbath," "a yoke of
bondage" etc.
After the HOLY SABBATH has been trodden down many genera
tions," it is to be restored in the last days. Isa. 58:12,13.
