Business was good at the regular
meeting of the city council Monday
evening. There was not a dull mo
ment and much business connected
with the common good of Heppner
was transacted.
The resignation of Councilman Mc-
Carty, who has been a member of the
body for a number of years, was ac
cepted, the cause of the resignation
being that Mr. McCurty expects to be
absent from the city for several
months during the summer.
Percy Garrigus, a heavy property
owner on Main street took up t"ie
matter of connecting his septic tank
with the city sewer the request be
ing granted. Mr. Garrigus also called
attention to he unsaniary condiion
and. fire menace in the rear of cer
tain property in the same block in
which his property is located and de
manded relief. Mayor Vaughn stat
ed that he had personally called at
tention of the owner to these condi
tions and had received assurance
tf.iat the same would be corrected and
he assured Mr. Gurrigus that there
would be no more delay.
Regular bills were audited and al

Main street was not satisfactory and
would probably require more shoot
