Five Member Committee Will
Study Road Situation, Make
Report and Recommendations
A committee of five citizens,
four men and one woman was
appointed Saturday night to
study ways and means of im
proving the road set-up within
the county and to submit the
findings to another mass meet
ing when the study is complet
ed. That was the result of sev
eral hours of discussion by a
representative group of citizens
assembled at the court house
Saturday evening in response to
an invitation from a farmers
committee interested in looking
into the possibility of obtaining
early relief from the county
road situation.
All three members of the
county court were present, as
well as P. W. Mahoney, county
attorney, who answered many
points of law requested by var
ious members of the assembl
age. All sections of the county
were represented, one car of
men coming from Boardman.
One proposal which seemed to
have the backing of most of the
of which could be remedied if
all people giving In their assess
ments were less inclined to pro
tect their personal interests
that is, each fellow showing a
willingness to do his share.
Some questioning about rais
ing the budget brought explana
tions from Barratt, Judge Bert
Johnson and Mr. Mahoney. It
was pointed out that the budget
cannot be raised more than six
percent above the highest of the
three preceding years, and that
funds in excess of the six per
cent limitation must be voted by
special ballot. If it is the wish
of the people of the county to
raise the general levy they must
vote an amount in excess of the
six percent limitation -each year
for three successive years and
this automatically raises the
general levy.
With the possibility of raising
funds at an early date through
a bond issue appearing imprac
tical and several other uncer
tainties confronting them, the
delegation was that of placing farmers decided to give the mat-
a measure on the ballot at the tor thorough study before tak
special election October 7 seek
ing approval of a road bond is
sue. It developed that time was
the important factor and that
while there is time to prepare
petitions and the filing, there
would not be time for a survey
to be made to determine which
roads would benefit from the
bonds or the amounts needed
for the several roads thus chosen.
A good bit of time was devot
ed to discussion of the tax set
up. Much of this was led by
Garnet Barratt who spoke from
experience as a member of the
county court and as a private
citizen. Barratt said the tax set
up needs a lot of fixing, much
ing definite action. The question
of forming the county into spe
cial road districts is to be given
thoughtful consideration. There
is some doubt about legal sanc
tion, but if it can be done a
move will be made to district
the county.
People of each section wanted
the roads in their particular dis
trict fixed up. Some of them in
quired of Judge Johnson when
they could expect equipment to
work in their neighborhoods.
The answer was, he didn't know.
Appointed on the special com
mittee were J G. Barratt, chair
man; Henry Baker, George Peck,
Mrs. Blaine Chapel and Willard
A. Baker of Boardman.

the Umatilla National forest for
an official inspection tour. Re-.
servations have been made at
Hotel Heppner for three officials
from Washington, D. C, and four
Division 6, or northwest offi
cials. Object of the visit by the for
esters is to inspect equipment
and operational set-up of the lo
cal unit and to view timber op
erations within the area.
While official titles of the men
making the tour were not dis
closed, it is thought each has a
specific job which will be evi
dent in the work inspected here.
The bureau of public roads, tim
ber management, personnel and
other branches are likely to be
represented in the group, since
these are the principal opera
tions in forest service work.
Coming from Washington, D.
, for the tour are R. A. McAr-
dle, W. K. Chapline and W. T.
Murphy. The northwest group
will be headed by H. J. Andrews,
regional forester, Division 6, and
including L. H. Douglas, Fred
Kennedy, in charge of range
management, and Joseph F. Pe
chanec. Carl Ewing, Umatilla
National forest supervisor, will
join the group here.
Local foresters are thankful
for the rains which visited the

call for firefighting equipment
during the visit of the Inspect
ing officials.
