7/ieNYSSA Published at Nyssa, Oregon, ___________________________________ VOLUME XXXIV NO. 34 GATEWAY TO THE OWYHEE AND BLACK CANYON IRRIGATION PROJECTS IN THE HEART OF OREGON’S SUGAR EMPIRE ____________________________ NYSSA, OREGON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1939 Malheur County Shows Debt Increase WARRANTS CAUSE FOR 512,352.50 DEBT BOOST SALEM — Three more Oregon counties managed to shake off their burden of debt during the past year. Washington county paid off $39,- 843.67 in outstanding warrants to qualify for a place on the honor roll. Sherman county $48,927.37 in outstanding bonds and Tillamook county cleared its books of $47,000 in bonded debt which were out standing a year ago. Seven other counties which were reported as debt free in a survey by State Treasurer Walter E. Pearson a year ago continue to maintain that position today. They include Clatsop, Columbia, Douglas, Lake, Linn, Marion and Umatilla. Only two of the state’s 35 coun ties show an increase in their debt load during the year. The are Mal heur whose indebtedness has grown to $12,352.50 since July 1, 1938, through an increase in outsanding warrants, and Union county whose net debt is $6,543.81 larger than it was last year. All told the counties whittled $2,- 279,534.07 off their net debt during the year, reducing the total from $20,030,167.21 as of July 1, 1938, to $17,750,633.14 as of July 1, 1939. The present indebtedness of the Oregon counties includes $17,040,180 in outstanding bonds, $532,474.78 in road warrants, and $1,432,951.22 in general fund warrants, against which total there are assets in the form of sinking funds aggregating $1,254,972.86. A summary prepared by State Treasurer Pearson shows that none of the counties approach the six percent constitutional debt limita tion. In fact only three counties— Coos, Grant and Wheeler—have a net debt in excess of four per cent of their assessed valuations. Approximately two-thirds of the debt load of the several counties is carried by Multnomah county whose totale net debt amounts to $11,904,410.23. Next largest item is that of Coos county, totalling $1,- 125,351.82. with Clackamas county’s $922,980 ranking third. Polk with a net debt of only $26.- 735.92, and Jackson county with a net debt of $69,426.81 have the low est debt ratio of the several coun ties still in the “red” column. —Nyssa Fall Festival—Sept. 15-16— Washington, D. C. News Bureau of the Nyssa Gate City Journal WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. 31- Like a mirror, the countenance of President Roosevelt reflects his feel ings. No poker face is his and the gravity With which he regarded the European situation was expressed by the absence of his customary smile. In this national capitol the top- bracket officials have been under severe tension, not knowing what the next hour would bring forth; but perfecting plans to meet any emergency in a given 24 hours. Mr. Roosevelt has displayed less con cern over the man-handling of some of his pet legislation at the hands of congress than the whirling events abroad. He has not sought relaxa tion with his stamp collection, as is his custom. After the Munich scare the ad ministration decided to blueprint a program in the event a climax was reached. For practically a year the problem was studied theoretically from every angle; how to bring home Americans caught in the war zone; what to do with the stock ex change and stabilize the market; the steps necessary to prevent sa- hotage to industrial plants; counter espionage; the matter of surplus food supplies; revision of the agri cultural policy. The purpose of this planning was not for war with the United States as a belligerent, but to deal with conditions naturally resulting In this country when there Is a conflict in Europe. In its position as a neutral the United States must be alert. Chief danger is from foreign agents at tempting to sabotage industrial plants where war supplies (which Includes almost everything i, are be ing manufactured, in particular, es tablishments making airplanes and airplane engines.
