"Local" Laws Discussed Other than laws of general ap- • plication from which Malheur' county will benefit, the following legislation could be considered as having special benefit for Mal heur county: 1. Although SB 543 failed, it did point up the urgency of the bi ldge across Snake river at On tario. This passed the senate but not the house. It should advance construction date. 2. Prohibiting of agricultural picketing. 3. Although this did not result from legislation, our work toward obtaining funds for construction of the road to Lake Owyhee is an item of which Rep. Emil Stunz and I are prqud. 4. Increase of liquor revenues to cities to 12 Vi percent and coun ties, for the first time, to 5 per cent. 5. Defeat of numerous attempts to reduce local autonomy. 6.
