"At the same time, we should honor those who gave their lives in such conflicts that America and other countries might pre serve those ideals dear to the hearts of freedom-loving people throughout the world.

S 4i I New Police Car Bought; Slate Refuses Pave Job Bid of Condon Motor Sales of $1587.13, net cost to the city of Heppner after tradein, was ac cepted by the city council Mon day night for the purchase of a new police car. It will be a 1963 Ford 300 Police Interceptor. Three bids were submitted to the city, the others being by rarley Motor Company for a model 6835 Rambler at $1569.87 plus $61.75 for heavy duty al ternator as optional equipment; and by Fulleton Chevrolet for a 1963 Chevrolet tour door Bis cayne sedan at $1942.75 differ ence. Decision on the purchase was made by the police committee af ter reviewing the bids on auth ority of the council after the meeting. Included in the bids was infor mation on various items listed in the specifications. Funds for the purchase of the car were included in the 1962 63 budget, and call for bids was delayed until new 1963 models were available. A letter was read at the meet ing from R. S. Cox, county and city relations engineer of the State Highway department, stat ing that the Highwav Commis sion had not approved Morgan street for paving under a pro vision that allows such state aid when a new area in a city has a street subject to unus ually heavy traffic. The city had applied for funds for improving the street because of the in creased traffic going to Unit-A and the new high school site. The refusal was for the 1963 program, but the city may apply again to come under the 1964 program. Council approved application of Elmer Leroy and Jeanne C. Berry for renewal of package beer class B and retail malt beverage class A licenses for Bucknum's Tavern. Building permit for $50,000 for the Heppner Elks lodge was ap proved. The lodge is rebuilding its hall that was destroyed by fire in May. Lorentz Brunn Com pany of Portland is contractor. Front will be of 2x6 frame con struction, replacing similar structure, with stucco exterior. Contractor is now at work on the job and the old Star Theater portion is being filled in with gravel. The Lodge hall will oc cupy the space formerly used by the theater and club room will be adjoining, all on the first floor. A letter from Chris L. Wheeler, state engineer, said that the State Water Resources Depart ment had received the city's ap plication for permission to drill a well of 500 gallons per minute capacity. He said the application was in order and that it would be considered for action soon. The council authorized con struction of a "California gutter" across Willow street on the west side of Main to carry excess sur face water away in times of heavy runoff. Vic Groshens, city superintendent, said the work would have to wait until dry weather in order to permit laying the asphalt coating. During rain storms water backs up on Willow near Western Auto so that it sometimes covers the sidewalk and makes it difficult to tra verse.
