Corps for sewer plant By MARY LEE MARLOW The U.S. Corps of Engineers has offered to allow the City of Boardman to temporarily ex pand its present sewer treat ment plant on its property, and to assist Boardman in locating an alternate site for a permanent treatment plant. Last week the city was told by Burlington Northern Rail way that railroad land east of the Port of Morrow would not be available to the city. This had been picked as the best siie for the new plant by the , city and engineers. Burlington Northern also refused to let the city use a second site south of Boardman for the plant. In return for allowing tem porary expansion of the pres ent plant, the Corps expects Boardman to treat sanitary waste from the Army's river . side park and to move off the military land as soon as a permanent facility is put into operation. City officials were to meet in Portland Thursday with representatives of Portland General Electric to determine what the utility's housing needs will be. A spokesman for Desert Hills housing developers said the firm has ordered a package plant to treat sewage from the mobile home park J, and apartment complex w planned to be under construc tion within the next two weeks. He also said work on a new well to serve the residential complex was to begin last week. The package plant will be phased out when the city can provide treatment for the housing complex. -I T R-B's Firestone TIRES Farm Tiri A Service 0 Truck Tirti A Service Petsenger Tire Uniimted supply AUTO REPAIR 0 laatert Frent End Alignments Xpert Brake Servce 0 Cempiete Tune-Up Canter FREE Pickup A Delivery Ph. 567-6174 UMATILLA GLASS AUTO HOMft USINtSS We Offer i OM Fashiened Service j FREI CAR WASH with any Ante Class Installation Nen-Glara Thermal Shewer Deers Ty4 Incletw Aluminum Windows, .

C6f offers In an effort to find a permanent solution to the sewer problem the city council directed Stanley Wallulis, consulting engineer, to begin work on the temporary plant and to negotiate for the Corps' land. M.D. Van Valkenberg, city attorney, was asked to seek a meeting with Burlington Northern and try to re-open negotiations for the preferred treatment site. If the site is not available, the city may have to withdraw its offer to serve plants at the port's food processing park. The city requested that Chris Doswell, University of Orgon extension agent, con tact the Navy about using some of its land south of the city as a treatment plant site. The Navy land is an alternate to the two sites owned by Burlington Northern Railway. Wallulis said the Navy land may have to eventually be used as a treatment site to handle expansion of Board man in the far future.

WEST END Mobile Homes Featuring Broadmore Glenbrook Princeton 12-14-ft. double-wide "Let your search end at West End" 567-5388 Hermiston Hermiston-McNary Hiway Rules or adeauafle Agricultural producers have high priority for gasoline and diesel fuel for farm use, but they soon must get together with suppliers if they're to have fuel for spring field work and the rest of the year. Sherwood M. Nicholas, executive director of Oregon's Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) Committee, said there is no assurance that local suppliers will have fuel available unless they know in advance the requirements of their agri cultural users. Federal energy regulations authorize agricultural pro ducers to receive 100 per cent of their current gasoline and diesel fuel requirements. Un like allocations for other uses, agricultural allocations are not subject to pro rata reductions in case of short ages, Nicholas pointed out. Producers eligible for the allocations are commercial farming, and dairy, poulty, livestock, horticulture, for estry and fishing activities, the regulations state. They also include services directly related to planting, cultiva tion, harvesting, processing, and distribution of fiber, timber, tobacco, and food intended for human consump tion and animal feed. To qualify for the fuel, a producer files certain infor mation with his supplier, Nicholas said. The information includes: name, address, and telephone number; a statement that the fuel is for agricultural pro duction; estimated monthly fuel requirements by type of fuel (gasoline, diesel I for 1974; 1972 and 1973 use of fuel by month and type, if the supplier requests this infor mation; justification for the fuel required in 1974, such as crop acreage, equipment, livestock, and so on: a statement ,-that the producer has an energy conservation program in effect. Nicholas suggested using a form if one is available from the supplier, otherwise a letter should suffice, he said. Either must be signed, he noted. To help producers estimate how much fuel they will need in 1974. Oregon State Univer sity agricultural economists have prepared a worksheet and guidelines for using it.

The offices also have information on fuel conservation practices for agriculture. A supplier who receives a farmer's certification of fuel needs will indicate whether he agrees to supply the allot ment, the regulations say. Next, the supplier accumu lates the certified require ments and applies to his fuel sources for increased allot ments to meet agricultural needs. "If the agricultural pro ducer is a new customer-say, a beginning farmer or a farmer without a supplier-he should seek a supplier willing to accept him as a customer," suggested Nicholas. If the producer can't find a supplier or can't reach an agreement with his present one, he can ask for assistance, Nicholas said. Help is avail able from an ASCS office or from the Oregon Office of Energy Conservation and Al location in Salem. Nicholas pointed out that there are petroleum set-asides to meet temporary hardship situations. The state Office of Energy Conservation and Al location controls these re serves and should be asked to assist in such situations. OSU agricultural econo mists estimate that Oregon farms and ranches use about 4 per cent of the state's gasoline and more than 22 per cent of the diesel fuel.

MAIN PENDLETON 12:30 sharp Boardman increases fax base to 35,000 The Boardman City Council voted last week to include a proposal to increase the city's tax base from $13,000 to $35,000 on the May 7 primary ballot. This is to insure enough money for personnel and plans for the city's economic and residential boom. Boardman faces the possi bility of its population tripling within the next two years, and if plans for a nuclear gener ating complex are approved, it will increase more. Mayor Dewey W. West Jr. explained that the present tax base limits the city's opera tional budget to the $13,000 a year figure. The tax rate based on the $13,000 budget is about $3.50 per $1,000, plus an additional assessment of about a dollar per $1,000 to pay off the city's new fire truck. West said the increase in the tax base does not mean the tax rate will increase proportion ately, as the city does not have to budget for the entire amount of $35,000. He said if Boardman drew on the entire amount available, the tax rate would be about $7.50 per $1,000. "That is about where we were a few years ago when we moved to the new townsite," West said.
