So 61,000 Oregon voters signed initiative petitions to put Measure # 9 on the ballot, because there are safety problems w ith nuclear power, and you should have a chance to vote to correct them. Ballot Measure # 9 does not affect Trojan. N o r does it prevent construction o f future nuclear pow er plants. Measure # 9 simply requires that safety standards are met before more plants (the next plants are not scheduled until 1985-1990) are built in Oregon. '/• = Port ask shipyard expansion The Port of Portland is asking the people of Portland to approve an $84 million bond levy to build new shipyard facilities including a drydock capable of serving the largest modern ships. The Port maintains that the new facilities are necessary if Portland is to compete in the maritime industry. Throughout Oregon's history, the maritime trade has been an important industry and was responsible for Portland's development as the state's major city. Portland is the major shipping port for the Rocky Mountain states and the Midwest. Nearly 38.000 people work at jobs directly related to the port with an annual payroll of over $151,000,000 jobs. The Portland ship yards are unique in that they are pubically owned. The first drydock was built in 1901, with another added in 1921. After World War II, these drydocks were moved to Swan Island next to the t rydock built by the Navy during the are. Another was added in 1963. In addition, the shipyard has 3,450 feet of berthing spare and it own machine shops. The Port now proposes to expand the repair facilities to enable them to repair the nw ships which are ton large for the old drydocks. Portland's largest drydock was designed to handle ships up to 114 feet in width, the size that can go through the Panama Canal. Shipping on the Pacif.r has grown to the extent that there is no need for many of the ships to go through the canal, so there is no limit on their size. Today's grain and container ships are more than twice as large in capacity, and the new oil tankers will be in excess of 150 feet wide. Building a new large drydock would enable the Portland shipyards to handle these ships. Without it. and without expanding berth space, much work will be lost to other ports. If modern facilities are not provided, ships will go elsewhere for repairs. The shipyard is owned by the public, but its facilities are leased by thirteen private firms. The leases bring in over $1 million net profit to the Port, supporting many of its other facilities that are not self supporting. The Port estimates that 1,000 jobs will be created by construction and that 850 jobs will be created by 1983, an impact of $22 million on the economy of the tri county area.

It asks fo r safe methods o f storing radioactive waste, w ith no reasonable chance o f escape. And it requires that the nuclear utilities stand behind their product and accept full liability in case o f accidents, like any o the r American business. And that's not too much to ask.
