A motion was made by Direc tor Harvey Warner that the mile age be paid to the present date and during basketball season but not at other times when Tal oott is teaching only at one school. Policy Definition Asked Daniels then asked the board to define its policies so that ad ministrators would know what course to pursue. He said that this apparent confusion comes from conflict of policy of the "old" board versus the policy of the "new" board. "If we have to come to the board with every little thing, it will take a lot more meetings than this one," he said. Considerable objection was raised by some of the directors, particularly Van Schoiack, on the "generaltities" used by per sonnel of the district in sub mitting bills for mileage. He proposed that when vehicles of the county are used for purposes other than regular runs, a ticket should be filled out stating the purpose of the trip, where the trip was taken, the number of miles traveled and who made the trip in the vehicle. The board settled the matter of activity buses by approving a motion made by Director Irvin Raueh that the district author izes use of activity buses if par ents pay operating costs. This would include providing a li censed driver and paying for cas and oil. Involved are the activity bus from Heppner to Lexington, one from lone to the southwest, and possibly one from lone to Cecil. The action does not apply to a bus now used between Irrigon and Boardman. Lexington residents had petition ed for an activity bus at the last meeting of the board. Sketches Completed Supt. Brubacher said that pre liminary architects' sket c h e s have been received on finish ing the Heppner High school music rooms and for a shop un der the building where a large excavation was made. Chairman Milton Morgan was directed to appoint a committee to work on plans for the improvements with a view towards speeding action on the matter. He did not an nounce members of the com mittee. Report was made no progress towards bringing additi o n a 1 water supply to Heppner High school. City Councilman Clarence Rosewall was present to discuss the city's proposals with the di rectors. No final decision was taken, but Chairman Morgan ap pointed Directors Howard Cleve land, Kenneth Batty and Van Schoiack to work with the city council committee, and they were given power to act on be half of the board. Pine City Sale Talked Disposition of Pine City school property brought some discussion at the meeting. At the Septem ber meeting a bill of more than $300 was approved for plumbing work in connection with the old school building, It rents for $Z5 per month as a residence. The board felt that the property should be disposed of and passed a motion to put it up for sale on bids, including the 2.23 acres of grounds on which the build ing is located. However, Fred Martin, former director, sitting in on the meet ing as a spectator, said that lie recalled that the board had planned to dispose of it some time ago but learned that in such an instance the deed re quired that it revert to the orig inal property owners or heirs. At torney Bob Abrams was asked to check into the matter. Fair Board Meet To Talk Changes Morrow county's fair board has called a special meeting, with the public invited, for Mon day, October 21, at 7:30 p.m. in the conference room on the sec ond floor of the Gilliam and Bisbee building.
