Where, and the $2,000 for the other three such work is requested, the cost is assessed against the property owners. In a move designed to save the cily considerable interest money, it was voted to use $15,000 in sur plus water department funds to buy up an equivalent amount ol water bonds which are callable on July 1. The next year's bud gel calls for redemption of $5,- 000 of the bonds, but with the additional purchase, only 20,000 of the bonds which were issued in the 1910s will remain outstand ing.

There Only One Board Post to Be Filled An agreement between the Heppner Lumber company and IWA-CIO local 6-312 which would prevent any work stoppage at the local mill in the near luture. appeared certain today ac cording to an announcement by Orville Smith manager of the mill. Terms of the agreement, which had not yet been signed by either party because both were still conferring on the terms, were not revealed, but Smith indicated that it meant that "woik will continue at the Heppner Lumber company." The agreement is the result of a mill-union discussion of the strike question Tuesday night and a meeting of the local Wed nesday night at which its members apparently voted to stay on the job. On June 1 the mill had received a two-weeks notification of a possible work stoppage, which was required in a previous agree ment between the mill and the union, and which if put into effect would have meant a shutdown by June 15. The new agreement apparently has no deadline period. Smith said the new agreement, when signed, will not be a new contract, but it will keep the men on the job and the mill running. tary school to be built on thetnougni. previously approved Tum-A-Lum; Vote Date to be Set site in down-town Heppner.
