Pag* Eight The Nyssa Gate City Journal, Nyssa, Oregon LEGISLATIVE REPORT »•••••*« Service Mews W By Rep. D.E. (Denny) Jones On Monday, January 29, we were invited to go on a trip down to the mouth of the Co lumbia River and view the com mercial salmon fishing indus try, and also, on the way, to view the huge atomic energy Trojan plant at Rainier, Wa shington. We went out to the National Guard Airport and loaded into three helicopters and took off. It was a real nice flight--my first helicopter ride, in fact. These were large helicopters holding about 12 peopJe. Our first stop was the Tro jan plant at Rainier, which is an immense thing. It is almost too large to even realise what the effort is there to com plete it. The cooling tower is 499 feet high, 370 feet in dia meter at the base, containing 35,000 cubic yards of concrete. The reactor plant itself is huge, and it cost almost $300 mil lion. This facility will produce about twice the amount of elec tric energy that is produced at Bonneville Dam. Something that I didn’t realize is that after cooling the water, part of it will be reused. It is necessary, I understand, to dump some back I feel. 1 was also fortunate in getting to talk to one of the Fish Commission men, and 1 got some valuable information from him as far as the amount of available fish is concerned. All in all it was a worthwhile trip. 1 understand the Governor’s Staff introduced an amendment to the school finance plan Mon day morning. We don’t have a copy of it yet, but 1 am sure we will shortly. This changes the business tax from 3$ to It and raises the corporation tax from 4‘t to lfFi instead of as it was before. 6? and It changes the minimum amount of property tax from $7.50 to $8.50,51,000. also it raises the exemption of the amount that the taxes apply to from $5,000 to $15,000, also it raises the rate over $60,000. I will get these amendments to the bill up into your country as soon as I can. Enlisting January 22 in th« Also I think Rep. Stafford Han Women’s Army Corps, Toma sell will introduce a proposed L.

They will dump the wa ter into the ocean for cooling, and it won’t be recycled as it is at the Trojan plant--it will use new water all the time. We then loaded back into the helicopters and took off for the Columbia River where we were loaded on some fishing boats and took out into the Columbia River and shown the commer cial fishing industry. They put out a net, and we sat there and drifted for about an hour. They then pulled the net in, but we didn’t catch any fish so 1 didn’t get to view the salmon coming bouncing in on the net. It was real interesting and real educa tional and, I think, worthwhile because we are going to be faced with making up our minds on environmental bills that af fect our natural resources, and commercial fishing, al course, is a real necessary industry, * Favorite Foods Army ; ROTC * Ntwtbut * * training at Fort McClellan, Ala • • • • • * * bama.
