The city council has proposed a 3425,000 bond issue to finance the construction of a 3,000,000 gall * water storage reservoir on airport tall, one additional »ell, and a boaster pumping station to pump the »ater to the reservir. After studying the propos.tioc »e feel that the plan has merit and think it would be advantageous for the itizens of Nyrssa to approve the measure. The added storage would be at benefit in every »ay, providing a safeguard against any breakd.sns in the pumps, and presiding a safety factor in fire protection. The »ater pressure in the lines would be increased, and the system is planned to acc ra in adate an increase m populate:*. The bonds would be retired about half by federal revenue sharing funds »inch the council tas committed to this project, and the balance of the pa »meats »ould come through a small increase in water rates and a general tax levy It is quite likely that future reduction in the fire insurance rating at the city » slid offset most of the rate increase. Witt water probably our most precious ccnmodity, it » uld seem that improvements to the system now are timely and well-planned. They would certainly be more c sth at a later date. The palls are oper. from 6 a m. to 8 p.m. Monday at the City Library All citizens are urged to vote c this mast impor tant bood isssie. llrttrrs to thr t bi tar Editor, The Journal Several weeks ago I com mented that for a freshman legislator. Denny Jones rides tall in the saddle" rd like to take a lew words to expand upon that and compliment try colleague from Ctotano. When Denny strode into the Capitol last January, I s-<pase most people suspected ke »as from the East" by looting at his riding boots and his hat. Few probably gave him a chance to make much t an impressx* on the legislative process be cause on the outside Denny is a quiet, friendy fellow who doesn't look like he's out to change your Bind about this or that. The fact is, Denny id per suade his fellow legislators there needed tt be some changes for the people in his district. U his own eastern Oregx way Denny coaxed through four agri culture bills and four livestock bills. He gained passage at Hoose Bail 3054. the livestock brand .aspect;or. measure »inch had failed to pass in four pre vious sessions, and House Bill 201" dedicating brand funds. Representative Jones also exercised his own brand of persuasion to tun back at tempts at passing legislation wtact would have brought unbe lievable problems for school districts and taxpayers in his district. In my book. Denny's a first class representative. He kn vs what his people want, and be wms fnends and votes. You cannot ask for more ttas that, and I am sincerely happy Denny served in the 57» Legislative Assembly. Sincerely. Gordan L. Macpherson House Republican Leader. Editor, The Journal In a recent telephone con versation »¡th the Mayor of Nyssa 1 requested that he ask the Chief of Police to »rite a letter to the Oreg c Liquor Coutrol Commission explaining why the Council rec ;>mmended against the license application for the Nyssa Tavern..., and to ■nd me a opy at sack letter.

It is my pusi’ ioc that little is accomplished by referring li cense applications to a City Council. It is a financial asset to the city, but it .s az im practical act from the tavern oners' pemt of view. A tavern owner is regulated by the sta tutes of the State of Oregon and the regulations of the Oregon Liqo r ControlC jc.missit*. »e are orientated to e mpluwes with these statutes and regu lations. >e should be discip- l-ned by the liquor commission for a viciatrn thereof.
