Letters To
Same opportunity
To the editor:
In recent letters to the
editor, some mention was
made concerning the fact that
no fee is collected from
seniors from lone who ride the
bus and attend the senior
mealsite in Heppner. We
would like to explain the
reason for this.
It was decided at the July IS,
1981 Morrow County Senior
citizen Advisory Committee
that "transportation is free to
those who ride to the meal
site." In the past, meais were
taken to lone from the
Heppner mealsite and the
senior citizens from lone had
their meals served to them at
Why
To the editor:
The 1982-83 operating levy
was defeated by 29 votes.
Thee of five communities
rejected it. The fact that the
overall margin of defeat was
small should not cloud the fact
that three communities did
not pass it.
The budget committee is
, trying to analyze the reason
for the "no" vote. No one
appeared at the public hearing
to testify or protest. Zero
knowledge was gained from
that. The proposed defeated
budget was only 3.37 percent
higher than last year's. The
school budget showed an 11
percent increase and Blue
Mountain Community College
showed a six percent increase.
Both the school and B.M.C.C.
budgets passed with com
manding ease. So. percent
increase in spending
apparently was not a factor.
The tax rate for the proposed
defeated budget was to be 17
cents per thousand dollars of
assessed evaluation cheaper
than the current tax rate now

Historical
Soc. meets
By DKI.PHA JONES
The Morrow County Histori
cal Society Board of Directors
met for a quarterly meeting
Monday at the Bank of
Eastern Oregon conference
room in Heppner.
The group looked at old
pictures of early county road
construction and pictues of the
1903 flood. The pictures will be
hung in the Morrow County
Courthouse courtroom. Other
business included:
board members voted to
purchase eight folding chairs
to be donated to the museum.
reports are being prepar
ed on several area century -old
farms which will be honored
this fall.
a letter was read from
a George, Wash, woman
concerning her ancestors
from this area.
research material is
being gathered on early Mor
row County mills and the
society is searching for infor
mation on the old Burgoyne
mill at Lexington.
Those attending were Mr.
and Mrs. Paul Hisler, Mr. and
Mrs. Jim Hayes, Barton
Clark. Harold Becket, Rachel
Harnett. Sue Vinson, Barbara
Bloodsworth. Helen Currin,
Mr. and Mrs. Harold Peck,
Ruth McCabe and Delpha
Jones.
The Editor
the lone United Church of
Christ. It was decided by the
Morrow County Senior Citizen
Advisory Committee that the
monies used to deliver meals
to lone be used to offset the
cost to bring lone and Lexing
ton residents to Heppner to
attend the mealsite. This also
gives them the opportunity to
share in a county program.
It's only fair that if Heppner 1
senior citizens can ride the bus
to the mealsite at no charge,
the seniors of Lexington and
lone should have the same
opportunity.
Respectfully,
The Heppner Senior Citizen
Mealsite Committee

being paid. The fiscal year
1981-82 rate is $4.39 per
thousand and the proposed tax
rate with the Portland Gen
eral Electric tax off-set would
have been $4.22 per thousand.
So high tax rate is apparently
not a factor.
Elections are too costly to
use them to play guessing
games between budget com
mittees and voters. The bud
get committee needs to have
accurate information in order
to know how best to achieve
voter acceptance.
The county is required by
law to submit a request for a
new tax base this year. This is
going to be done in May. It is
hoped that the voters will
adopt the new proposed tax
base. It will be for a
reasonable amount to keep the
county operable.
