opinions expressed by members of
the city council Monday evening.
Two factors enter into opening of
the tank this season, one the matter
of ample water supply and the
other the importance of obtaining
a competent supervisor. One thing '
the council did decide on and that
was the tank will not open before
July this year.
Definite action was taken by the
town dads relative to the operation
of slot machines within the corp
orate limits of Heppner there will

Purchase of $2,000 worth of bonds

a deal in which Mayor Turner took
the initiative, was confirmed by the
council. Also a contract with the
highway commission to resurface
the west end of May street and the
length of Gale street was ratified,
as were several matters pertaining
to leasing and sale of certain par
cels of city-owned property.
A budget committee was appoint
