TO ALL MORROW COUNTY VOTERS: YOUR ATTENTION IS CALLED TO THE IMPORTANT CIAL elect on the f.lorrou Countfy Road Serial Levy Tuesday; Feb. 27, 1973 POLLS OPEN 8 A.M. to 8 P.M. This measure would provide $145,000 annually for five years to continue the county's road improvement and maintenance 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 flection is to submit to the voters the proposition of a $145,000 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 $145,000 per year, and collect taxes for that amount, for a period of five years for repairing, constructing improving, maintaining, replacing county roads. The funds would be used for no other purpose. NEED- 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-ycar 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. A fair share of the serial levy is also appor tioned for road use within cities, whose taxpayers 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. Amount 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 $145 000 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 December 1967 for a 5-year period was $150,000 per year. COST TO THE TAXPAYER- Cost of the $145,000 would not exceed $1.58 per $1,000 true cash valuation annually. Cost of the $150,000 levied each year for the past five years was $1.57 per $1,000 true cash valuation. Thus, the rates per thousand would remain the same as voted five years ago. POLLING PLACES- There will be five polling places, as follows Board man, Greenfield Grange; Irrigon, Old School Bldg.; Lexington, City Hall; lone, City Hall; Consolidated: Heppner & Hardman, Food Stamp Store. QUESTIONS- Members of the Morrow county court (Judge Paul Jones, Commissioner Walter Hayes and Commissioner Homer Hughes) will be glad to answer any questions on this proposed serial levy between now and Feb. 27. They will also welcome the opportunity to speak to any organization on the levy as time permits.
