State highway department em ployes were here Wednesday meas uring for driveways into private properties. Surfacing of the highway, known as Arcadia boulevard, from the "Y” to the city limits is Included in the contract for surfacing the Nyssa- Ontarlo section, now underway, but the contract calls for a width of only 22 feet. Widening of the thoroughfare to 48 feet will probably be included in the contract calling for resurfacing and realigning the Nyssa-Adrian section, said City Manager E. K. Burton. The Nyssa- Adrian contract has not been a- warded, but the work is expected to be done some time this summer. Under the agreement between the city and state, Nyssa is to lay the sidewalks and the state is to pave the street and install the curbing. The city will soon start the neces sary proceedings to construct the sidewalks. Robbery Money Believed Found A can, believed to contain the remains of bank notes stolen during a train robbery in Utah many years ago, was brought to Nyssa last week by Ed Child, who turned the re mains over to George Mitchell, manager of the Nyssa branch of the First National Bank of Portland. Mitchell sent the material to federal reserve officials for analysis. Rumors th a t loot from an old train robbery had heen unearthed were circulating in Hooper, Utah last month following the finding of six cans containing the remains of what appeared to the finder to be a fortune in old bank note*. About the dimensions of coffee cans, the containers were found be neath an old granary by Vern O. Taylor of Hooper when he completed demolition of the building by burn ing the flooring. Apparently the heat of the fire charred the “cur rency” and possibly made definite identification impossible. Jesse D. Barlow of the Clearfield State bank said paper in one can resembled gold certificates such as had been out of circulation for many years. Taylor was advised to send the re mains to Washington, where chem ical analysis can be made. Almost half a century ago a train was held up near Hooper. Thg roD- ber, wounded and caught ih the Hooper area, was sentenced to a long term In the Utah state pen itentiary, where he later died. Ed Child visited with Taylor, a boyhood chum, at Hooper April 20 and 21. Taylor gave Child one of the cans to bring home.

McKay Gets Invitation To View Reservoir Credit Association And Road Topics 0 £ Cham ber Meeting In conjunction with action taken by the Malheur Game league and the Nyssa Boat club, the Nyssa chamber of commerce voted at its weekly luncheon Wednesday noon to Invite Oovemor Douglas McKay to Inspect the site ol a proposed state park on the banks of the Owy hee reservoir. If the governor accepts the in vitation, he will be taken to the reservoir on some date selected by himself by members of the three organizations, which have been working for many months to gain recognition for the reservoir area. They have been receiving some en couraging news about prospects of the area being designated as a state park. A survey of the proposed roadway and park has already been completed by agencies of the fed eral government. Plans call far construction of a two-mile road from the boatlift along the east side of the reservoir to Gordon creek, leaveling of the park site and improvement of the road to the dam. The chamber voted *5 to help toward the expense of a Nyssa girl to be sent to the girls state sessions at Salem.

The government and the state of Idaho are reported to have appropriated *100,000 for start of work on '.he project. President Thomas Jones said It Is apparently the intention of the government to build the road. In cluding construction of the so-call ed Huntington cut-off from Hunt ington to Ontario. The chamber approved a resolu tion calling on representatives in congress when voting on Increas ing the excise tax on the automo biles to consider automobiles and trucks .not as luxuries, but as neces sities. J. L. Herrlman, local dealer, explained the excise tax on automo biles. He said Secretary of the Treasury Snyder has recommended an Increase In the tax from 7 to 20 per cent, or an increase of 300 per oent. The house ways and means committee has opened hearings on the proposed tax. Herrlman said “Of course, auto mobile dealers are opposed to the large tax. It won't cost us any thing, but will be added onto the price of cars. I don't think the tax should be so large". Clyde Snider then read the res olution. L. R. McLachian, manager of the Ontario credit bureau, discussed the local credit association, known as the RetaU Credit Association of Nyssa. Ing., which was organized In July, 1946 as a non-profit or ganization. McLachian recited sev eral reasons why merchant-owned credit associations are good.
