COST WOULD BE LEVIED AGAINST ALL TAXABLE PROPERTY IN THE COUNTY THIS IS NOT A NEW LEVY-NOT AN ADDITIONAL TAX-BUT CONTINUES THE EXISTING ROAD LEVY PURPOSE- Purpose of this election is to submit to the voters the proposition of a $150,000 annual serial levy which would be levied against all taxable property in the county. Its approval would empower the county court to levy up to $150,000 per year, and collect taxes for that amount, for a period of five years for repairing, constructing, improving, maintaining, replacing coun ty roads. The funds would be used for no other purpose. NEED- Mm Im .P. ISC The major part of the county's road program depends upon this serial levy. Although the county receives some receipts from other sources besides taxes, these provide far less than needed to give the public the kind of roads that it wants and needs, and to main tain them. This Is not a new proposal. The Morrow county road program has been dependent on serial levies of this type since 1948, when a 5-year levy was voted. Five-year levies continued until 1962, when a 3-year levy was voted. The public has continued to vote road funds in special elections since that time. HOW IT WOULD BE USED- These funds would be used In all phases of the road maintenance and improvement program. Since 1948 the county has developed a continuous program of road improvement and hard surfacing that places it high among Eastern Oregon counties in this respect. It is planned that practically all major county roads will be hard-surfaced within 10-12 years, and many miles of oiled roads are being added each year. Con siderable road work has been done in the northern part of the county as well as in the central and south ern parts. Morrow county has agreed to build a front age road on the south side of I-80N in the winter of-1967-68, and it will be hard-surfaced in the spring of the year. A fair share of the serial levy is also apportioned for road use within cities, whose taxpay ers also share in the cost. WHY A SERIAL LEVY- The county must call upon voters to decide upon a serial levy for the road program every three to five years because the cost cannot be included in the coun ty's annual budget without exceeding the 6 limita tion. Amounts to be expended above the 6 limita tion must be approved by voters. The forthcoming election is necessary to determine if voters wish to give the county court continued power to levy the funds needed up to $150,000 per year. Since 1948, some of the annual levies approved have been more than $145,000 per year; some have been less. The last levy approved in early 1965 for a 3-year period was $125,000 per year. COST TO THE TAXPAYER- Cost of the $150,000 would be $1.57 per $1,000 true cash valuation annually. Cost of the $125,000 levied each year for the past three years was $1.29 per $1,000 true cash valuation. Thus, the increase would amount to 28c per $1,000 true cash value. POLLING PLACES- There will be eight polling places, as follows: South east Heppner precinct at the county courthouse; South west Heppner precinct, also at the courthouse; North east Heppner, old city library (next to city hall); Northwest Heppner, vacant building next to Turner, Van Matter and Bryant Insurance Agency; Boardman, city hall; Irrigon, A. C. Houghton elementary school; Lexington, city hall; lone, city hall; Hardman, com munity hall. QUESTIONS- Members of the Morrow county court (Judge Paul Jones, Commissioner Walter Hayes and Commissioner Jack VanWinkle will be glad to answer any questions on this proposed serial levy between now and Decem ber 8. They will also welcome the opportunity to speak to any organization on the levy as time per mits. YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT-FUTURE OF MORROW COUNTY'S ROADS DEPENDS ON THE OUTCOME OF THIS ELECTION w. PD.
