PAGE SIX VERNONIA EAGLE, VERNONIA, OREGON Will There Be Taxes on Real, Personal Property? PUD Query The question of whether or not the people of this District will be able to oibtain cheaper electric power through the Nehalem Basin Peoples’ Utility District is a matter of great importance. Whether or not this reduction in rates will be realized depends upon whether or not the people of the District vote for the bond issue at the coming November 5th election. There seems to be a great deal of favorable interest in the matter, and in view of the over whelming majority in the May elec tion for the formation of the Dis trict indications are that the bond issue will be carried. There are three outstanding questions in the minds of most voters, namely: 1. Will the bond issue be paid from taxes on property in the district? 2. Will there he any loss of tax revenues if the power plant is owned by the PUD instead of by present ownership? 3. What will be $210,000.00 de- rived from the bonds be used for? The answer to all these questions can be found definitely in the State law governing peoples’ utility districts, as follows: 1. Section 56-3443, Oregon Laws: “. . . may issue and sell revenue bonds so conditioned as to be paid solely from that portion of the revenues derived from the District by the sale of water, water power and electric energy, or any of them, or any other service, com modity or facility which may be only after operating expenses and taxes have been puul ao that neither will there be a levy of taxes to pay the bonds nor will there be any low of taxes through the public ownership of the utility. While it is reasonable to believe that the voters have respect for the honesty and integrity of the Directors they elect to operate the District, there are three added pro tections which will safeguard the peoples’ interest: 1. The people buying the bonds will not invest in them until they have investigated and are assured that only a proper price is to be to be ac- paid for the . properties . quired. 2. The State Hydroelectric Com mission acts as an advisory board in all operations of the District. 3. The Bonneville administration is also interested in the entire operation of the District and will act in an advisory capacity in the matter of acquisition of the prop erties, the extension of tines, as well as all other operations of the District. Close study of the law governing peoples’ utility districts in Oregon gives the greatest assurance that the taxpayers and public have been <ully protected. —R. M. Burley produced, used or furnished in con nection therewith, remaining after paying from said revenues all ex penses of operation and mainten ance, including taxes; . , .” 2. Section 56-3461, Oregon Laws, provides: “All property, real and person al, owned, used, operated or con trolled by any peoples’ utility dis trict in or for the production, trans mission, distribution or furnishing of electric nower or energy or ewc- tric service for or to the public, shall be assessed and taxed in the same manner and for the same pur poses, and such District and the directors and officers thereof shall be subject to the same require ments. as mav now or hereafter be provided by law in respect to the assessment and taxation of similar propel tv owned, used, operated or con-trolled by private corporations or individuals for the purpose of '"urnishing electric power or energy or electric service to the public.” 3. Only such part of the bonds will be sold as will be necessary fol ia) purchasing such existing plants and systems as the Board of Directors may deem advisable;' Cb) making necessary rural ex tensions; (c) making necessary repairs and rehabilitating systems.
