THIS MEASURE WOULD PROVIDE $150,000 ANNUALLY FOR FIVE YEARS
TO CONTINUE THE COUNTY'S ROAD IMPROVEMENT AND MAINT
ENANCE PROGRAM. 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.
