Continued from page 1 To summarize, a foreign trade zone gives the user a competitive edge by saving on taxes, and cutting costs by reducing transportation ex penses, warehouse charges and insurance premiums. It also cuts by a lot of red tape in customs and increases cash flow in the economy. Congress passed the For eign Trade Zone Act primarily to bolster American trade by removing some of the inade quacies of the bonded ware house system. In other Port of Morrow news, Charles Landstroner of the Union Pacific Railroad asked the commissioners to sell land 50-feet north and up to 100-feet south of the existing railroad in the Hinkle-Board-man area. Landstoner said the 25 acres of land is more than what is actually needed in much of the area. He said no improve ments would be taken and the railroad will bear all of the expenses. He offered $600 to $700 per acre. The commissioners chuckled at his offer and Port Manager Buddy Toadvin said the price is "unacceptable." The parties decided to take a look at it more in the near future. They decided to have the land appraised with the parties sharing the cost. They agreed for the railroad to take as little land as possible and not to disturb the industrial area. The port commissioners also decided to build an effluent watering system on Port land and then rent out the land. The commissioners decided on a $425,000 system. The money will be borrowed from the Oregon Ports Revolving Fund. To save money, the com missioners decided to use plastic pipe (which Toadvin said will last longer with an effluent water system than steel pipe) and the Port will hire the laborers to lay the Potluck to honor teacher There will be a potluck dinner Sept. 22 at 6:30 p.m. at Heppner High School in honor of Dennis Toney, a teacher in Heppner for 10 years who resigned last spring.

The port will save $40,000 by doing its own labor. Effluent water systems are a higher quality of water to irrigate with. The commis sioners decided to accept bids on the pipe and materials to be used. In related action, the com missioners accepted a bid from J and B Farms to farm the effluent land. The Miracle Potato Co., which is now on the land, will have a chance if J and B Farms cannot work out the details of the agreement.-Lucky O Ranch and DBS Farms also bid to lease the land. The bids were for 750 or more acres of Port land. The commissioners may require a performance bond. Meadow lark Photo Is Back ORDER HOW FOR CHRISTMAS....
