DAYS GONE BY BEETLE BAILEY GARFIELD BLONDIE DILBERT THE WIZARD OF ID LUANN ZITS BY MORT WALKER BY JIM DAVIS 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian April 13, 1916 A building ordinance, to regulate all building work in the city, to provide for repairs for buildings that have become dangerous and to require the paying of fees for building permits will be presented to the council at an early meeting. It was suggested last evening and the city attorney instructed to draw up the ordinance. The suggestion grew out of the report that the old City Livery barn on Thompson street is in a dangerous condi- tion. The south wall is sagging and threatens to fall over at any time to the danger of adjoining property. The council last evening by resolution ordered the repair or removal of the building at once. Recorder Fitz Gerald state that Pendleton is the only city of which he knows where charges are not made for building permits. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian April 13, 1966 Pendleton High School will offer several new courses next year, including Russian, and several of its present subjects will have a new look, Principal G.
