Director Warner s motion came at tho elimax nf a 2Va hour dis- cussion before a sizeable dele gation of interested persons irom the North Morrow county towns. Some 40 of those present were from Irrigon and five or six rep resented Boardman. Many opin ions and ideas were neara irom the audience in time allotted for open discussion. After eleven motions naa Deen presented, most of them by Di rectors Bob Sicard of Boardman nnrl Wnrnpr anH most of them declared dead for lack of a sec ond, the board approved a mo tion by Director Fred Martin mat tho hnarrl annolnt a committee of five, including all directors but Sicard and Warner, to stuoy the sites, consider them at a meeting on September 4 and bring a report to the board on September 10. And that is where the matter stooa at tne ena oi the evening. Both Irrigon and Boardman made strong pleas for their choices of sites. Irrigon support ers backed a 20-acre tract known as the Robbins property on the south side of their town and the Patterson Ferry road site as a second choice. Boardman resi dents spoke for a location with in the new Boardman townsite yet to be selected or lor bite B" which is located about xk milo south nf the new inter change at the junction of the bomb range road trom wortn Lexington with Interstate 80. Mayor Joe Tatone of Board man urged that a professional firm be employed to maKe tne site selection. "We have the school and hope to keep a school," he said. "Un fortunately we can't tell what the population will be or where it will be. I think Irrigon would be a fine place; I think Board man would be a fine place. It has to go where it will do the most good. Consulting engineers may be hired to make the choice. Irrigon may be just as satisfied if we hired professional people. "Do you want to deplete our town hv takine it (the school) away?" he asked. Warren McCoy of irrigon pointed out that the State De nortmont nf Education in a 1959 survey had recommended that the school be placed in Irrigon and reaffirmed this recommen dation in 1961. He and other members of the delegation from that town said that they would "go along with anotner state department survey. Snoaklnff for the Irrieon in terests, W. H. Parker declared that Site B Is three or four miles farthpr from fire Drotection than tho Irrionn chnlros: that a deeD well would be needed for water while the city of Irrigon would furnish water at the location in its tnwnsitp: that an Irriffon choice would eliminate at least one bus; and that it would be farther away from any noise anu odor that might come trom tsoe ing development. Tn a nroDosal that all ele mentary children be educated in Irrigon and the high school ho nineoH nn Sito R or in Board- man, Parker declared, "You've got the pig on the wrong end. If anyone needs to be close to schools, the elementary child ren do." His Inference was that this would mean transporting the Boardman children to irri gon. Dnostinn nf Rneinff's Potential ien ontorod thp discussions. some saying that this would be a major factor and others dis counting noise because proposed tests would be only a "minute or two" duration and coming not more than once or twice a month. Earl McQuaw oi tsoara man declared, "We're in an ex nine timp. We'll have noise the rest of our lives. Planes fly over the school now every aay. Both sicard and warner maue ctrnncr nipas for thpir resDective fhnirps. Thp former said that Site B would not be within the city limits or eitner town ana tnai an oipmpntarv school and hieh school could be placed on the same site to save money, com- n ot mn nf thp now nisnwav to Irrigon would mean easy access from either direction, ne saia.

Nelson pretty wpII pvnlained the board's dilemma in a reply to the partial pleas. "Yon can't decide where it chnnH po. and I can't do it." he said, stressing the uncertainty i of future population ot tne area. "Wp havp an obligation to all the people not just Boardman and not just Irrigon," he declar ed. Administrator Robert Van HniitP harl rnmniled some of his thinking in a mimeographed message to the board in wnicn he cited the advantages of a single elementary plant and sug gested that all elementary stu dents be educated in Irrigon with the provision for school facilities in the Boardman townsite by reserving a site for an elemen tary school if population growth warrants. "If the elementary students are all in attendance at Irrigon, the high school should be built near Boardman in order to pro vide a central location for all hicrh sehnol students and to Dro- vide a community facility," he said in the paper.

He emphasized that he does feel tnat some dhsic ques tions need to be answered. The administrator pointed out that some 240 construction days will be needed to ouua tne new school, which would be financed from funds reimbursed trom tne Army Corps of Engineers and from a share of proceeds of the school bond issue passed eany this year. To have a school ready by the fall of 1963 would mean that contract must be let by December, and this means mat a decision on site would have to be made very soon. Sifarri anH Warner made a series of motions alternately, favoring various sites and var ious rnmhinations of schools, without receiving seconds from their colleagues, l'inaiiy warner received support from Director L. E. Dick who seconded a mo tion that the Irrigon site be chosen for a high school and a grade school site be reserved in Boardman. This motion was withdrawn after a few minutes discussion in order that the high school and grade school matters be con sidered separately. Warner then moved that irrigon De cnosen ior the site. Sicard vainly tried to amend the motion by striking out ""Irrigon" and inserting "Boardman," but this was ruled out of order. Vote on tne motion was three to three. Dick, Mrs. Esther Anderson and Warner voted yes and Martin, Nelson and Sicard voted no. unairman Wilkinson, with the deciding vote in hand, declared the mo tion lost, saying that he would first want to know what would be done about the grade school. Finallv Martin's motion was that the board appoint five of its members as a committee to study sites and make report on September 10 was approved with out a dissenting vote. The feel ing seems to be that a dennite choice will be made at that time to end the long controversy. Mrs. Anderson, who had little to say throughout the evening's deliberations, offered one sug gestion that brought some fav orable reaction. "Why don't Irri gon and Boardman incorporate into one town?" she asked. 33rd Annual I; (JALE) $l "7 NO LIMIT TO QUANTITY Buy One Quart B0YSEN RUBBERGL0 Flat Wall Finish $2.43 COLORIZER CUSTOM-MIXED COLORS GET SECOND QUART..
