Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, March 7, 1957 Page 3 352 TO1 With less than one half of its contemplated and required work completed last Monday, the 48th day of the current session, the Oregon Legislature started on a heavy schedule that if main tained will not break any records for lenght of session costs.
