in less populated areas with

Hearings Favor Merger
of Soil Districts
Hearings regarding the
merger of the two soil and
water conservation districts in
Morrow County were held
Sept. 25 in Heppner and Sept.
26 in Boardman. Bud Sval
berg. director of the state Soil
and Water Conservation Com
mission presided. No adverse
testimony was presented.
Testimony favored the mer
ger. It was cited that elements
of duplication in clerical work
would be eliminated. The
district would have boundar
ies that coincide with the
county's boundaries. This
would enable the district to
work more closely with the
Couniy court and the ASCS
committee on the problems
presented with the develop
ment of the desert lands in the
north end of the county.
Anyone wishing to present
testimony who was not pres

bonds simitar to the GI Loan
program that might be used to
provide some inducements
and or certain tax breaks.
Measure No. 9 came in for
an interesting part of his dis
cussion. If No. 9 passes, "It
will be a tough session in the
legislature". He said before he
went into the legislature, he
promised he wouldn't vote for
a tax measure unless it would
reduce property tax.
In order to meet the equal
amount of money raised by
property tax, there would
have to be a 9'2 percent Sales
Tax or a 150 percent increase
in the Income Tax. If the state
legislature were to pass a
Sales Tax or Income Tax bill it
would no doubt be referred to
the people which would hold
up the bill from becoming a
law. This would mean an 18
month period that there would
be no money for the schools to
operate.
