The abbreviated statement of purpose proposed by the Attorney General in this proceeding reads:

*184 “HIGHWAY BONDS TO. ACQUIRE ; .. OCEAN. SHORE

“PURPOSE: Constitutional amendment. Defines ‘ocean shore5 as beach between extreme low tide and vegetation line. Dedicates ‘ocean shore5 as perpetual public park. Directs state to acquire privately-owned ‘ocean shore,5 if appropriate. Authorizes issue of general obligation highway bonds for ■ • future acquisition. Permits use of gasoline and motor vehicle tax revenues to retire such bonds. Allows leasing of ‘ocean shore5 or granting easements or licenses, if consistent with public recreation. Confirms existing public rights to ‘ocean shore5.55

In this statement, as in Anderson v. Thornton, decided today, 250 Or 185, 441 P2d 240, the Attorney General has also ■ used the hyphenated words “privately-owned55 to reduce the number of words in .the statement. In order to eliminate a word we have stricken the word “such55 from the'sentence in the statement reading: “Permits use of gasoline and motor vehicle tax revenues to retire such bonds.”

With this modification the ballot title is certified to the Secretary of State.

Costs to neither party. .
