County to Borrow From State Fund Morrow county will borrow $125,000 from a special loan fund of the State of Oregon in order to provide operating funds for road repairs to damage caused by the December and January floods, Judge Taul Jones said Wednesday. Under the terms of a measure (House Bill 1248) passed by this session of the legislature it was authorized the special fund from which counties could bor row money at no interest for emergency road repairs. With the provision that repayment would be from state gas tax re funds over a five-year period Morrow county was notified by the state that it could bor row up to $141,000 on this basis. Judge Jones said that the $125,000 will provide funds prior to the time federal emergency aid funds are available. The county court, however, may elect to repay the state loan from the federal funds rather than to have it taken from the gas tax refunds. First year's proceeds of the recently voted road serial levy will not be available until the next fiscal year.

(Tad) Miller Jr. as chairman, plans for the 1965 Morrow county Koaeo are sei ting underway early this year. At a meeting of the board last Wednesday night at the fair grounds, it was found that most of the directors already have their plans pretty well in hand for the late August event. It was decided to accept the bid of Howard Johnson of Con don to furnish stock for the event this year. The bids had been called for as a result of action at a previous meeting. Rose City Sound of Portland was engaged to supply the sound system again and direc tors expressed the feeling that the work of this firm had been very satisfactory in the past. The board granted the women of All Saints' Episcopal church the soft drink and concessions rights at the rodeo. Outfitting the queen and court was discussed, and plans were made to buy the costumes loc ally. Places tentatively mention ed for the court to visit prior to tne event nere were yray, Umatilla, Arlington, Condon, Shrine game, Tendleton Dressup parade, Round-Up parade, Uma tllla County Fair and Milton Freewater Pea Festival. rpnorted on contacting the fair board for im- j provements to the stanas, pens, and fences and said that he would go to the fair board's next meeting to discuss the mat ter further with them. It was voted to accept an in vitation of the Salem Mounted Posse to come at no cost to the rodeo parade, and it was voted to accept the offer of the Pen dleton Senior Drum and Bugle Corps to appear. Some discussion was held on races and Roice Fulleton said that he needs four entries for on the aarn court Saturday rilrht fl wlnnrrt play for the c hrnplonhlp and the right In m to the Mat tournament on the hottorn half of th evcnlng'a Uov. b Ir header.

Number 2 HEPPBI33H2 10 cents Boeing Official Tells of Progress At Project Site Walt Muretta. engineering support supervisor at the Board man test site of the Boeing Com pany, talked of progress made at the site and showed slides nt tha nrniwt as euest srjeaker of the lone Lions club Monday night. The company is now engaged in sma it scale tests of various cryogenic fuel systems. Muretta corrected a current, impression that the tes's will be noisy, saying that they will not be heard more than five miles away. Pictures showed the company fabricating fuel tanks for liquid oxygen and hydrogen, the test stand itself, the block house and other installations. A well at the site, which goes to a depth of 750 feet, provides a large quantity of water to be used in connection with the test ing. A weather tower extends 100 feet in the air. and infor mation collected by its guages was sought by the navy follow ing the recent plane crash in 4- tin ft n in on offnrt trt hplr de- l ivkj aica an - - termine the cause. Muretta said. Some of the small equipment used in the operation was dis played by the speaker, including some of the lint free clothing, asbestos gloves, special type valves (one small one which alone cost $5000), and other technical items. At the present time the project is engaged only in testing the fuel systems.

The company took some dam- i v.n f lrwnH Irtsintr one station wagon, the speaker said. Muretta, who now lives ai Hermiston. said that about 3o are employed at the site at the present time. The lleppner team turned In exceptionally gd performance againtt Burna at Baker and Fn terprlie at Milton Freewater to gain the tournament spot the hard way. and It will take a fine team to knock them out now. Coach Bob Clourh and hla team will have the problem again of stopping high acortng l:i h Mikel of the Rockets, while IHot Rock, will fare the well balanced offense of a club that can field any five of ten men and itlil have a top unit on the floor. Council Eyes Sfreef Work For Summer Contemrjlated work on city streets, renewal of the parbage disposal contract wnn nerman Green and some planning for the huHrret were items con sidered by the city council at Its March meeting laxt wee. The council pa.ed a resolut ion uhlfh will ask Ihf 9,1 At f ot Oregon again for funds for pav ing or Morgan J-ueer exiension to the high school. This comes nrwlor a tat. hil'hwav DollCV of providing nominal assistance to cities for streets which have sudden heavy Increases In traf fic because of population In crease or other reasons. Last year the council applied for such aid but it was not granted because funds were ex hanvfprt on nrlor or more de manding applications. City Superintendent Vic Grosh ens said that 800 feet on the hill to the high school should be im proved and said that it is dan gerous as It now sianas. urosn sn alH tht tho er ade has been engineered for a sidewalk with curb on the inside and with a high guard rail and euro on the outside. The school district should stand the cost of the sidewalk, he suggested. Street Program Proposed Groshens also proposed a street repair program that womd cost some S6600 for this summer, lie said that this is more than is provided in the budget but said that it is in line with the former policy of "going over-one-third of the city streets each year, so that all streets would be brought into good condition every three years. Mayor Al Lamb pointed out that the city could not spend run, than were budgeted for any purpose, and it was de cided to aeier ine pruKiam .f)n. T.,t 1 with the hone that sufficient funds could be provid ed in the new budget to make the work possioie. City Attorney Bob ADrams sua that it would be legal to call for bids prior to the end of the fiscal year in order that all pre liminary steps would be out ot the way so that the work could be done during summer months. Tire Contract Talked Councilman Dave McLeod re ported for a committee which has been working with the Heppner Rural Fire Protection district on a new contract be tween the district and the city for fire protection service. A ten tative figure of $3750 to the city from the district on a 5-year contract was discussed but the agreement has not been final ized as yet. Contract on the garbage dis posal service which gives Her man Green a franchise to op erate in the city with the ser vice was passed unanimously after brief discussion. The con tract was renewed for two years. Groshens said that $2400 worth of crushed rock, previous ly approved by the council for city use, has been ordered and will be ready for delivery with in 30 days. Walk Said Hazardous The council discussed a citi zen's complaint on the alleged hazardous condition of the side walk in front of Ford's Tire Ser vice. City Attorney Abrams was directed to write a letter to the firm asking that the sidewalk be repaired. Application of Ginny Moore for summer work at the munici pal swimming pool was received and referred to the city services committee. Miss Moore substi tuted for a regular employe at the pool last summer. Some discussion was held on making a survey of the south ami nf riaia strep with a view to determining property lines ana correcting a partuiiK aq uation between the First Nation al Bank and Fulleton Chevro lot rnmnanv Tt wat nointpd out that the parking often makes n aiincun ior iwo ton to pass at this location. It was agreed that a commit- ton pnmnnuifl nf founeilmen Carl Spaulding, W. C. Rosewall and LeRoy Gardner will start on preliminary figures on the budget with a nrsi meeuiiK the budget committee to be in April. A permit for building was granted to Alvin Britt for a 23x26 addition and new roof for his house at 275 Water Street at a cost of $5280.
