night officer Floyd Hutchens
saw flame emerging from the
roof of the home of Judge J. O.
Hager at 675 E. Hager Street.
Hutchens turned in an alarm and
the fire horn awakened the
Hagers who were asleep in a
downstairs bedroom.
Three trucks were called to
the blaze, which was thought to
have started from the furnace
flu. Firemen had the fire out in
about 30 minutes but remained
at the scene some time longer
checking for sparks.
Extensive damage resulted to
the roof and several rooms of
the house. No estimate has been
made of the loss, but Judge Hag

insurance.
Fire Chief C. A. Ruggles stated
that the police officer who spot

commended for his action in spot

Cleanup Program
To Be In May
Mayor Al Lamb announces
that Cleanup-Palntup Week will
not be extended to Include the
balance of the month ot April
but will be proclaimed during
the month of May.
The decision was reached be
cause of lack of burning facilities
at the city dump, which the
state fire marshal has ordered
closed.
Work is progressing on Instal
lation of a new incinerator at the
dump. The 20 by 20 foot area
will have a back which can be
opened to push rubbish that it
will not burn into the pit. Part
of the present framework will
be used and the city crew is
doing the construction.
A new tractor will have to be
purchased by the city to operate
the new set-up.
Operation of the new facility
will be possible before the end
of the month, and the cleanup
program will be continued at
that time the mayor said.

He said that full authoriza
tion to go ahead with the Boeing
contract had now been granted
both on a state and federal level
and that the development at
Boardman would be "orderly,
without any sudden large influx
of people."
Morrow County Judge Oscar
Peterson, members of the coun
ty court and the county planning
and zoning commission were
complimented by Kennedy for
their action in starting proceed
ings to zone the north end of the
county. Orderly development de
pends on such zoning, Kennedy
implied.
The Boardman area Is "a tre
mendous area which seems to
have been set aside by God Al
mighty for industry," Kennedy
said in citing the advantages
nature has showered on the area
which contribute to its desira
bility as an Industrial location.

Members of the group voted to
extend Cleanup-Paintup Week
to include the balance of the

tee was instructed to see what
could be done about setting
aside one day for a major effort
to remove trash and unsightly
accumulations from the business
area. (Later in the week the
committee found that the city
was planning to improve trash
disposal facilities, and had re
quested the cleanup campaign
be postponed until May.)
A motion was adopted to write
to the Forest Service urging the
granting of permission to Baldy
