Lanham Resigns Position On Heppner Council Conley Lanham submitted his resignation as a member of the city council Monday night be cause he will be gone for some six months on a trip to Europe. It was accepted by his fellows with best wishes for a pleasant time. Lanham was reelected to the council in November of last year for a four-year term. The council has not acted to choose a suc cessor. Repercussions from late winter highwater in Heppner brought a problem to the council at the meeting. Herman Winter, attorn ey, appeared on behalf of clients, Bill Mahan and Mrs. Fred Book er, asking for restoration of a retaining wall on the back of their properties for protection from Willow Creek. The wall went out in a storm when water coming down Donaldson canyon overflowed at the Chase street bridge and cut across their prop erties. There was some discussion about the city's liability on the matter but the council finally took the position that it will try to correct the washout with the understanding that it assumes no legal liability. Superinten dent Vic Groshens was asked to get estimates of costs, and Ed Gonty was named chairman of a committee to work out details. At the same time, the council made it clear that it would be receptive to petitions from prop erty owners for formation of an improvement district to build IIO.

Building permits surged with the approval of a $35,125 permit for the bowling alley now under construction. A $500 permit for construction of a 2-car garage at the Leonard Kummerland property was approved subject to approval by Fire Chief Rug gles, since the property is lo cated within the fire zone. Two farm homes served by city water above the new city well may have to provide their own water beginning this com ing winter. They have received water from the city's main com ing from the well above, but if flow in the new well continues as at present, the former well will not be used this winter Supt. Groshens said that it would cost the city about $300 to run the pump to supply these two farm homes for four months. It was decided that Groshens and Recorder Ted Smith notify them of these instructions by the city council. Once again the council dis cussed the hazard and nuisance of the old metal shed back of the Heppner Hotel. Action two years ago by the council brought the response that the building would be repaired, it was reported at this meeting of the council. How ever, this has not been done. The recorder was instructed to write a letter to the property owner informing of the existing haz ard and requesting that the structure be removed. Chief of Police Dean Gilman asked that the council return Duncan-Miller parking meters now installed here, buy the aut omatic meters that have been installed and add 25 more of the automatic meters. The action was approved. Supt. Groshens brought up the matter that the new high school does not have adequate fire pro tection being served only by a 12-inch water line. He said that it should have a 6-inch line that would have to be brought around the hillside and might cost in the neighborhood of $10,000. The matter was left in abeyance un til word is heard from the school board. Groshens reported on the county's offer to trade city labor in restoring a 6-inch pipeline from the courthouse to the county reservoir for sealing work on city streets, already done by the county. Groshens said his crews could not do the work now but might later. The matter was left to him for action. Red Cross Drive Brings in Oyer $1300 The 1963 Red Cross drive, to date, has received contributions totaling $1,311.66, according to Rev. Charles Knox, campaign chairman, and does not include the money turned in when the mail -appeal was issued through the Gazette-Times in April. Although it did not meet the quota of $1500 set up at the time of the door-to-door canvass drive between June 17 and 27, it is felt that good achievement was made. In expressing appreciation, the Rev. Knox states, "I want to thank each one who helped make this drive a big success. This was a busy season, but turned out to be a very reward ing experience for our commun ity and Morrow county." Mr. and Mrs. Lester Tubbs of Portland spent the week-end here with her cousin, Mrs. Amanda Duvall. They attended a picnic dinner Sunday at Battle Mountain park, together with Mrs. Julia Lloyd of Springfield, Mo., who is a houseguest of Mrs. Duvall. Others present at the picnic were Mr. and Mrs. Niel White, Pilot Rock; Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Waid, Ukiah; Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Waid, Ritchie, Anne and Susan, all of Hermiston; Lenna Waid, Stanfield; and Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Waid, Portland. It was also in honor of the birth day of Niel White.

Thursday. August 8, 1963 'Rustled' Cattle Find Own Way Home Seventeen head of cattle which were thought possibly to have been rustled from Grincah Ranches have found their own way home, Sheriff C. J. D. Bauman said Thursday morning. Last week the cattle turned up missing and all attempts to find them failed. A $100 reward was offered by Grincah Ranches for their recovery, and a Portland daily news paper had a big spread on its front page telling of what might be the biggest case of cattle rustling in years. But the missing cattle non chalantly wandered home by themselves and no one got the reward, the sheriff said. A few calves are still missing.
