Kafoury Thi> i . - i, ¡ike to highlight the work of my Environment and Land Use Committee. I was appointed Chairman of a Subcommittee to look into the purchase of Cape Kiwanda, which is near Pacific City on the Oregon Coast. I t is a beautiful sandstone formation that juts out into the ocean and has been described by a famous photographer as “the most photogenic spot on the At lantic or Pacific Coast." The man who owns the property needs to sell it because of rising property taxes and Portland General Electric has obtained an option to purchase the land for a nuclear power plant. A fter a visit to the site and discus sion with both Portland Gen eral Electric officials and environmental groups, the recommendatin was made to the full committee to pur chase the property for a State Park. This is what the committee recommended to the Joint Ways and Means Committee, who will make the final decision. The money will come from State gasoline taxes and a Federal grant. The committee has also been working on some bills to improve the State's con trol of water pollution by bringing Oregon's laws into compliance with the Federal W ater Pollution Control Act and by requiring industries to pay for their fair share of the costs of constructing, operating and maintaining municipal sewage treatment facilities. We are examining many bills which pertain to n u c I e a r power plants in the State of Oregon. These plants pose many potential dangers to the environment of Oregon and we will be examining problems relating to their location, health standards for the employees who work there and disposal of their radioactive wastes. One area which has been the scene of much controver sy is the protection of the environment from unregulted use of off road vehicles such as motorcycles, snowmobiles, dune buggys, 4-wheel drive jeeps, etc. Of specific c o n c e r n to Portland area residents are several proposals for pur chase of land for park sites near the city. The W illa mette River has great po tential for recreational use if land along its banks can be obtained. "Doing Right” It - Because It’ » Several day» ago, I rude through some of the area In our community and was ap palled at the large number of dirty streets, sidewalks, alleys, wrecked cars and nu merous other unsightly con ditions. There were many reasons why such eyesores are fought throughout our communities now as well as In past years. The large number of absen tee landlords has been found to be the reason fo r so many- rundown houses and build ings. Merchants in the area who do not clean around their busi ness premises on a d 'il y ba sis. Wrecking lots that have not complied with the city ordinance to enclose their lots with fences. M ore strict en forcement by the Police De partment to tow away aban doned cars in our neighbor hoods. Listed above are just a few of the problems responsible for so much of the blight and deteriorating conditions we find throughout our part of the city. 1 realize that we have some people residing in the area who contribute to our eyesore 7 here needs to te mote at tention paid to such problems in our community on a re gular basis rattier than con ducting clean-up campaigns once a year or during a cam paign period in which some of our elected city officials re seeking re-election. I am sure the residents and voters ate awate of these continued practices and have become sick and tired of pay ing just as high taxes as other citizens who reside in te t ter serviced communities and year after year they receive in ferio r services for their dollars in our communities. We can and must have te t te r services on a regular ba sis to improve and clear up our community. The people deserve it. If you agree, let us hear from you andwe’ ll let your ••Voice” te heard. Bora», The property tax relief bill should go to the full Senate soon and be referred to a vote of the people. The election will occur in late A pril or early May. Early reference to the voters is important. In the event the measure is defeated by the voters, there will atill be time for the legislature to pass legislation with a dif ferent approach to the pro blem. Senate Bill 219, which is presently before the Senate Committee on Local Govern ment, of which I am Chair man, promises great new approaches in the use of cable television. The most important news item of the last week was the removal of Senator Vern Cook as Chairman of the Senate Revenue Committee by Senate President Jason Boe. Cook's removal was due to differences of opinion over the property tax relief and school finance program proposed by Governor Mc Call (House Bill 2004) The future of cabletele- A last note on taxes: A poll on support for the Gov ernor's tax plan shows pre sently substantial support for the pl«n, from a sampling of 300 persons in Northeast Portland.

In this regard, Representative W ally Priestley attempted to introduce a memorial re questing the United States Government not resort to the force of arms in resolving the matter. Through parlimen- tary rules, the motion was not allowed; however Repre tentative Priestley did get the signatures of tw enty other Representatives to sign a telegram articulating the principle stated agove.
