A resolution at the annual con vention asserted that the law which attempts to keep such taxes from increasing more than 6 per cent "does not In fact act as a restriction on property taxes nor as a safeguard for property tax payers." The group urged that elected budgeting boards be allowed to determine local financial poli cies. The association also recommen ded setting up of working funds for cities so that they need not issue warrants between the end of one fiscal year and the first property tax turnovers in the next. They also proposed reapportion ment of the state legislature after every federal census and set up a committee to work with other groups for improvement of the state public employes retirement act.

Hall. "Oregon people are asking for development of their state yet they voted against this proposal. the report said. "The recent re duction in electric power alloca tion to Oregon industries is ample proof that more power plants are required. The report said it is apparent that -the Pacific northwest cannot expect congress to continue build ing river dams and if development of the state is to continue private companies must be permitted to cooperate. "As a result of dwind ling power Oregon already has been warned of a possible brown out," the, report continued. Sltnatien Aente The commission said the power situation in eastern Oregon is ra pidly becoming acute and prob ably will become more serious as the population increases and de mand for electric energy becomes mode widespread. The report also stressed adverse publicity which, it charged, had resulted from rejecting the power bill at the general election. "Num bers of large industrial concerns, advised of the power situation in Oregon, have postponed or aban doned their plans to locate in Ore gon," the report averred. The commission said establishment of these industrial concerns would have resulted in more employment, larger payrolls and an increased demand for agricultural products., eiy e Governaaeat "Too many persons apparently have the idea that the federal gov ernment, because of, construction of the Bonneville and Grand Cou lee projects, will continue to in stall all of the hydroelectric facili ties in the northwest as they are recfuired," the report said. There is no assurance that all three of these massive projects, Bonneville, Grand Coulee and Mc Nary, will be able to produce suf ficient power to supply the north west." The report concluded with the prediction that the current power shortage would continue for a number of years providing there is no general letdown in business conditions.
