M arch 22. 19(19 - FIVE Port votes on 2nd Bond levy To the Editor On March 2*. 1989 the Pori of Morrow will have iti 2nd Bond Levy Election The fir« failed by a small margin Why it was turned down I think, was due to misunderstandings which has prompted me to put in my two bits worth on this one As a Charter member o f the Port Commission (17 years tenure from 1959 to 1976) I have found the voters here supportive and proud of their Port s accomplishments After all the Port's assets do belong to the people and the Commission's direc tive has been to pros ide jobs and in crease our tax base, providing economic development and giving our youth the opportunity to live and Little League workday this Saturday Strike complaint noted Letters to the Editor To the Editor I would like to make a complaint about the vlnke I think it is stupid for the teachers to be on strike Get superintendent Doyle McCasItn and the school hoard out. I think that the teachers should have a contract We students shouldn't have to go to school so the teachers would get there |obs back work in our county I urge a yes vote on the bond measure The coat is minimal com pared to saving 500 600 jobs and promoting more For example, if you own a $50.000 home, your total co« would be $5 per year which doesn't seem too much to ask for The Commission needs this boost to help with the utility rate structure which is not competitive at this time, and to help with some funds to allow the Port to broaden its activity to other parts of our county. So let's do ourselves proud Vote yes March 28 on the Port's bond issue (s) Dewey W West Jr Past President Port of Morrow Put somebody else in the place of Superintendent McCavlin and the school board I think that the teachers should stay on strike until Superintendent McCaslin and the school bisard cave in. Sincerely, (s) Irene Holmes Rt I Box I6A Boardman To the Editor The Port of Morrow has a general obligation bond on the March 28 ballot The approval of the bond issue will nuke the Hirt's utility exists more competitive for existing in dustry in the Port, will give the Port funds to acquire property in the Heppner, lone and lexington area for future economic development and provide funding for shoreline stabilization in the Port area All of this can he accomplished with a very small increase in our tax hill The economic future of Morrow County needs your yes vote on the Port bond issue Yours truly, (s) Larry Mills Heppner Praise for Umatilla City Police To the Editor Mr Eldon (»son.
