Serial Road Levy Special Election Set December 8 (Continued from page 1) county, Judge Jones declared. They pay a large share of the eountv's total tax levy. The judge said that a 5-year levy is'sought this time, instead of a 3-year levy, in order to avoid expense of election so fre quently and in order that the county can lay plans for a bet ter and more efficient road pro gram on a longer range basis. Recalling that a serial levy for roads was defeated at the time of the general election In 1964, though it was approved by a great malority a few months later after the floods of Decem ber, 1964, and January, 1965, a group of citizens of the county has formed the Morrow County Road Improvement association. Its primary purpose at this time is to support the forthcom ing serial levy. Elected presi dent at a meeting in the court house Monday was Norman Nel son of Lexington. W. C. Rose- wall of Heppner was chosen sec retarv-treasure.. Members of the association contributed funds to take the story of the need for the levy to the public through advertis ing and a direct mail contact Thev also enlisted help of or ganizations and some business firms in supporting their effort. Many of their names are listed on tne advertisement on page 4 of this section. Judge Jones points out that while the public generally as sociates county roads with rural areas, a large share ol the road levy Is apportioned to the in corporated cities for their use. City taxpayers, in turn, pay their share of the road tax. Not a New Tax Nelson emphasized that the levy sought in the December 8 election is not a new tax nor an additional levy, but a con tinuation of the program start ed in 1948. The amount of the levy has varied according to need, he said. The proposed levy is $25,000 per year greater than the current 3-year levy, but pre vious levies provided as much as $145,000 annually. There will be eight polling places in the county. They are announced by Mrs. Sadie Par rish, county clerk, as follows: Northwest Heppner, vacant building next door to Turner, Van Marter and Bryant Insur ance Agency; Southeast Hepp ner, county courthouse; South west Heppner, county court house; Northeast Heppner, old city library, next to city hall; Boardman, city hall; Irrigon, A. C. Hoghton Element ar y school; Lexington, city hall; lone, city hall.
