The City of Boardman has
, run into opposition in acquir
ing land for the new sewage
lagoon east of the town.
The Burlington-Northern
Railway has told the city that
neither of two tracts of land
eyed by the city for a sewage
treatment facility are for sale.
Mayor Dewey West said he
was not certain how the city
will move next. He said he
didn't like the thought of going
into condemnation to obtain
the land because the proce
dure takes so long. He spoke of
the t federal government
spending 20 years in condem
nation procedures at Hanford.
Burlington-Northern owns
the tracts eyed for both Sites 1
and 3 by Consulting Engineer
Stanley G. Wallulis. Site 1 is
east of the Port of Morrow's
food processing park and
would be the most economical

Notice
Disabled, widows
X
to apply by Apr. 1
: Disabled war veterans and veterans' widows must
apply for their annual Oregon property tax exemp
li tions by April 1, the Department of Veterans' Affairs
j cautioned today. Application is filed with the county
vl assessor.
H. C. Saalfeld, Veterans' Affairs director, said the
exemption amounts to $7,500 of the true cash value
g of the property. Entitled are war veterans 40 per-
& cent or more disabled, and unremarried widows of
& war veterans.
Saalfeld said this is not an automatic exemption.
Even though an exemption was granted last year,
the property owner must file a new application to
.be considered for the exemption this year.
If the taxpayer still has property tax to pay on
his residence alter the veterans' exemption, and
has an Income of less than $15,000 a year, he is
eligible for a refund under the new homeowners and
renters property tax refund program passed by the
1973 legislature. Application for this benefit must
be filed by April 15 with the Department of Revenue,

Site 3 is south of the "new

Desert Hills, a sister corpora

Burlington-Northern is
major stockholder in the
Desert Magic operation.
West said Burlington
Northern has rejected use of
either site on the grounds the
railroad has already given
enough property to the city.
The mayor reported that the
land Boardman sits on was at
one time owned by the
railroad, but that Boardman
paid 10 times the normal
condemnation price for the
property. He said land pur-

Mr. Gene Trumbull, Man

items of educational and
recreational equipment.
Five chess sets, 2 table
tennis tables, 7-8mm travel
films and 8 Symphonic rec
ords, containing the music of
the world's most famous
composers were all presented
to the Morrow County School
District for use in the district
schools.
The items will be circulated
to all schools in the district so
all students will have an
opportunity to benefit from
the materials. The travel
films and records will be
extremely useful in Social

chased since Boardman's
move to the new location has
been bought at between $400
and $1,500 an acre. West said
that he didn't think the
railroad could honestly say
they have "given" Boardman
that much.
West said the city may look
at other plant locations far
ther to the south of the city
near the Boardman Bombing
Range. Transporting sewage
for any great distance would
add a substantial increase to
the cost of the treatment
system.
West said the city will
continue its application for
federal funding for construc
tion at Site 1.
"If we can't use that site, we
might be able to change to
application to another loca
tion, if we have to," he said.
