2 Heppner Gazette Time?, July 25, 1946
EDITORIAL. .
TTie currert aicr shortage to the fr.
the necfsity for provides aJJst:onal storage '.t
the city' water supply. Present s:J.a- c:i;.-ac.ty
tike care of normal demani tut is m.ideuate
vhen anything cut of the ordinary occurs.
As stated hy Mayor Turner in another column
of this week's Gazette Times vo-k of drllmg a
new well will start shortly. It is anticipated that
this well will produce at least 200.000 gallons
daily. Such production will make it necessary to
provide another resenoir. and the city officials
have lr mind one of 500.000-gallon capacity. The
one reservoir no in use has a capacity of oOO.OOO
gallons. A storage capacity of SOO.000 gallons
should solve the problem for years to come, p:o
viding ample ater supply for all civilian use,
including I scer syscm another project on the
city's improvement program.
We must not bse sight of the fact that these
improvements ill cost money, but at the same
time we are wondering if we have not been losing
money by delaying construction even at present
prices. A sewer system could not be suc
cessfully operated without adequate water supply
and it might be asked why have a second reser
voir when the water supply is not sufficient to
keep the present reservoir filled. The truth is that
the reservoir is well filled most of the time. Need
of additional storage is seen in times of shortage.
The auxiliary supply could be brought into use
and prevent interruption of irrigation service at a
time when lawns, shrubs and gardens need water
every day.
At the moment, the most pressing need is for
tn auxiliary' supply of water. If the new well is a
producer, the larger reservoir and the sewer sys
tem will follow. As stated before, they will cost
money and the city will of necessity have to as
sume a considerable obligation. Towns, l:ke in
dividuals, become lethargic when out of debt.
There is a feeling that the goal has been attained
and the tendency is to rest on the oars. There is
no pushing ahead, but rather, we drift with the
current. It may be said in favor of plunging in
debt not too far, mind you that there is always
one objective: striving to get out. Heppner needs
a more adequate water supply and a sewer sys
tem. If we wait until we can pay cash for them
it is doubtful if some of us will live long enough
to enjoy them.
In all this controversy, or lack of aeement
as the c.o trav bo. over trad::n; of citv and coun
ty property, both sides aprca- to be a bit too zeal
ous aout prctocti.l? the public interest. If this
ser-e of protection is carried on too long the pub
lic is bound to bo the loser.
It is quite believable that the two units of gov
ernment will come to an agreement. If one side
rr the other has to give a little, or mayhap it
would be pertinent to suggest that both give a
little, they will be serving tile public interest. Af
ter all. the properties involved belong to Mr. John
Public and he will not be taking too big a loss
whichever wav the deal blows. Lack of agreement
is staving the hand of progress and it i quite cer-1
tain the public is more interested in the ultimate
development of both of tiiese properties for more
efficient use than whether or not the county and
city officials have established valuations that can
not be changed w ithout reflecting upon the judg
ment of the officials. Each side has set a mark to
which it is holding as if it were a matter of life or
death. If each w 11 come half way a settlement can
be reached in a hurry. Let's get some action!
There has not been much stir around Heppner
due to announcement of the proposed McNary
county. .Most comment is to the effect that the
tendency is toward consolidation of counties now
adays, rather than carving out r ones from the
older counties. The propos;'.l for a new county is
a little out of line with the com.iion thought and
if the promoters are to realize their ambition it
will require an unusually active campaign.
If the people of the north end of .Morrow
county and the western portion of Umatilla coun
ty will content themselves to await the inevitable
development following construction of the Mc
Nary dam it is likely that the d-"n mj for a sepa
rate county will disappear, head improvement,
which seems to be or.e of the bor.es of contention
in this county, w ill come as more people move in
and the U distribution is equalized. Also, there
is the possibility that the 'no-man's land" lying
between the cultivated areas on this side of the
sand belt and the river settlements will largely be
removed. The project communities can easily be
made close neighbors with the rest of the county
by the application of water to that strip now
braced in the bombing field.
