GATEWAY TO THE OWYHEE AND BLACK CANYON IRRIGATION PROJECTS IN THE HEART OF OREGON’S SUGAR EMPIRE JOURNAL Fastest Growing City In Oregon $1.50 PEU YEAb NYSSA, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1940 Plan Election Called For October National Guard To Mobilize Stamp Meetings Set! SCHOOL TO « 15; To Set New City Limits For Third Time In 25 Years AS POLIO SCARE PORTLAND—Mass meetings of all food retailers in Crook, Deschu tes, Gilliam, Grant, Harney, Hood River, Lake, Jefferson, Malheur, Morrow, Sherman, Wasco and Wheeler counties are being held the latter part of this month to discuss details of operation of the Food Stamp Plan which will be inaugura ted in the thirteen eastern Oregon area on October 1. Mass meetings of food retailers are scheduled for the following dates: The Dalles, Wednesday and Thursday, September 18 and 19; Arlington, Friday, September 20; John Day. Monday, September 23; Ontario. Tuesday. September 24; Bums, Wednesday, September 25; Lakevlew. Thursday, September 26; Bend. Friday, September 27. These meetings will probably be held in the evenings. It is essential that all food retail ers attend the mass meeting most convenient to them in order that they may be Informed as to their part in the Plan. According to Donald A. Fareed, Oregon representative of the Sur plus Marketing Administration, fed eral agency which administers the Food Stamp Plan, the volume of new food purchasing power repre sented by surplus food stamps is equal to a new industry with a siz able payroll coming to each of the counties. "To illustrate the importance of the Food Stamp Plan to the farmers retailers and public assistance fami lies in the thirteen county area,” said Mr Fareed. "we can take the amount of surplus food stamps which will be used In the area an nually as estimated at $125,000. It would take a new industry with a yearly payroll of $400,000 In the area to result in $125,000 being spent for food."

When the Job of remodelling is completed, which includes insulating and the installation of necessary cooling equipment, the storage plant will have a capacity of between 10 and 11 carloads of onions. The new storage room has been leased by Ira Ure of the Owyhee Farms. The city council by ordinance has called for a special election to be held Tuesday, October 15 for the purpose of amending the city char ter by setting new city limits, a legal notice of this proposed charter amendment may be found in this issue of the Nyssa Journal on the editorial page.) The new city limits would exclude three farms that were inadvertant ly left in at the last charter amend ment election held May 11 1937, and which, it Is understood, has since been omitted from the tax rolls of the city. Also to be excluded from the city limits would be the Emison addition, the streets to which have recently been vacated by order of the city council when the Amala- gated Sugar company purchased the property to erect a new warehouse in which would be stored some 400, 000 bags of sugat. This storehouse would result, it is estimated unof ficially. In a reduction In school tax es In the Nyssa high school and grade school districts of about 20 to 25 percent, depending in a large part upon the amount of sugar stor ed. This charter amendment has the approval of the Chamber of Com merce members and the personal support of the members of the City Council. The polls for the election will be In the city hall and will open at 8 a. m. and close at 8 p. m.

Several lots have been hemmed in without an official street when the construction of the underpass started. Mrs. J. E. Long was present and asked the council to try to work out a solution. The committee will make an in vestigation on three possible solu tions. one being to grade and gravel an alley abutting to the property on the east, another to make “of ficial" a passageway, commonly be lieved to have been a street, anoth er is to open Bower avenue from Its present terminus west to the rail road right of way. The two latter plans would Involve the purchase of property.
