Five Morrow county cities will
receive a total of S9.833 in ad
ditional state liquor revenues
during the next two years, Rep.
Irvin Mann said.
Rep. Mann said that he sup
ported a revised liquor revenue
distribution formula which
increases the share of reve
nues that cities receive from 14
to 20 percent.
Under the plan, Boardman
will receive an additional
$1,205; Heppner an additional
$5,752; lone an additional $1,119;
Irrigon an additional $1,068; and
Lexington an additional $689.
Legislative approval of the
plan, Rep. Mann said, will re
sult in an additional $4 million
revenue to hard-pressed city
governments during the coming
biennium.
He said that the share to be
received by the Morrow county
government will remain at the
present percentage. The increase
for cities will result in a reduc
tion in revenue to state govern
ment.
In addition, budget increases
for existing programs have been
cut back to make savings on
the state level, he said. Of an
anticipated state revenue growth
of $100 million during the next
two years, $75 million will be
sent back to cities, counties and
local schools to help with local
financing problems. Rep. Mann
added.

Thieves who entered Jake's
Hitchin' Post Cafe and Tavern

stole a safe containing an es
timated $1700 worth of checks
and assorted bills and change,
said Morrow county Sheriff John
MoIIahan, In reporting the in
cident last Friday.
The loss was discovered early
Sunday morning by the owner,
Jacob Alexanian, and it was as
sumed that thieves entered the
tavern portion of the building
during a power outage in the
night which lasted for four or
five hours.
Money stolen included a jar
of change containing about $50,
other assorted bills and change
end over $1000 worth of checks.
The incident is under investi
gation by the Oregon State Po

Oregon snorts fishermen are
advised that the emerge n c y
chinook angling closure which
has been in effect since May 29
will be lifted Saturday morning,
June 21, in that area of the Col
umbia below The Dalles Dam
and on July 19 in the area above
The Dalles Dam.
John McKean, state game dir
ector, said the action was taken
jointly with the Washington De
partment of Fisheries when
chinook counts at the ladders
revealed that the summer run
is about average in size and
that the bulk of these fish nor
mally pass the Bonneville area
by June 22. He said that about
3,000 summer chinook have
been moving through the Bon
neville fish ladders daily the
last few days, and the total run
is slightly ahead of last year's
count as of this date
McKean advised sport fisher
men that the closure has protec
ted the critical part of the run
and that the few chinook that
may be taken by anglers after
the designated opening dates
will not jeopardize the run.
