Mayor Asks for
Passage of Dog
Control Measure
Ordinance Drawn
Up Last Spring to
Be Resurrected
In response to many complaints
from property owners and others,
Mayor J. O. Turner asked the city
council to resurrect an ordinance
drawn up last spring but not acted
upon at that time seeking to curb
the running at large of the town's
canine population. Aside from dam
age to lawns and gardens, the dogs
are accused of disturbing the
pejace and quiet of the town at
night and in some instances of in
timidating children.
The mayor felt that complaints
were numerous enough and em
phatic enough to warrant action by
the city authorities and asked the
council to bring up the ordiniance
-and act upon it. He stated that there
are well-behaved dogs, which are in
the minority, which need not neces
sarily come under the offensive
class. On the other hand, there are
altogether too many dogs with no
apparent ownership and these with
numerous others that have homes
but are left to shift for themselves
at nght, cause the trouble.
An effort will be made to open a
street in an isolated district in the
northwest )part of town. That dis
trict once had an outlet but for the
pbst 20 years or so has been shut
off. Mayor and council propose to
check the situation over and see if
an agreement cannot be reached
with property owners to open a
narrow street to the tract, which
lies across Willow creek opposite
the Union Pacific depot.
It was apparent from discussion
at Monday evening's session that
the city is interested in acquiring
property for the establishment of
an airport. The same subject was
discussed earlier in the day at the
chamber of commerce luncheon.
There is one particular piece of
land under consideration and the
city fathers are giving, some
thought to the method of procedure
to procure it.
Mayor Turner reported that a
lease had been signed with the
Heppner Lumber company for the
use oLthe CCC buildings and that
he is endeavoring to get a definite
understanding with the govern
ment relative to termination of the
lease existing between city and
goVernnment .
CERTAIN GRADE TIRES
REMOVED FROM RATIONING
EfSective Dec. 5, all grade 3 tires
and used industrial type tires may
be transferred, mounted and used
without restriction. At the same
time, new passenger-type tires may
made of reclaimed rubber and new
passenger tytpe "fjactory seconds",
previously classified as grade 3
and must continue to , be sold- on
tires, are reclassified as grade 1
certificate, it is stated in a current
bulletin reaching the local ration
ing office.
The action was taken in the hope
that in those areas, where usable
grade 3 tires are available that per
sons eligible to apply for grade 1
tire certificates will be encouraged
to purchase grade 3's outside of
rationing.
