HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Council Tackles Alley Problem, New Litter Law ,r. . . jan,rlTu,,.nd Tb7mony"Sia that sine there is presently no provision in city ordinandi requiring set- barks from property- linw for construction, it would be pos- sible to build the post office on the site planned and allow an alleywav at the rear. How- ever, the buildinfi would be chanced so that parking would be on the north side instead of the west side. Several 'property owners who desire a dedicated alley for ae- cess were present. It was point- ed out that a 20 ft. alley could not be provided through the block because present clearance between Central Market and the Tacifie Northwest Bell build- ing is presently only slightly 1 more than 13 feet. i Robertson said he felt that the oost office structure could i be built to provide for an ade quate allev. One-War Alley Talked Mrs. Jim Hagcr proposed that a one-way system be set up in the alley because of the num ber of biR trucks that unload there with no room for others to pass. This brought up the question of customer parking for those whose businesses pro vide rear entrances for custo mers. In the case of Heppner Auto Tarts, whose owner, R. G. (Pete) McMurtry. says he depends largely on rear parking for cus tomers, the traffic would have no way of getting out without turning sround if trucks block ed the way. In such a case, it would go against the direction. one-way A petition asking for the at ley was presented with signa tures by virtually all of the owners whose property lies along the alley. The council accepted me pel-, ition and it was referred to the street committee with power to act. It is expected that an en- gineer will be consulted to con-jof duct a survey oi me miry nu that reDresentatives of the city will visit property owners to de-1 lermine wnai is iisuTiiun- m them. John F. Soward of Madias, contractor tor the proposed post office, was present at the meet ing and was introduced by Rob ertson. Postmaster Jim Driscoll introduced Robertson. McLeod Against Ordinance The ordinance on littering was prepared by City Attorney Bob Abrams and carried an emergency clause which would permit it to be passed in final form at the same meeting at which it was presented. How ever, to do this, a unanimous vote of councilmen present is required. Councilman David McL e o d dissented and said that he was not in favor of the ordinance. A motion to set fines for vio lations at not less than $3 nor more than $100 and jail sen tences of not less than two days nor more than 50 days as pen alties for violations was ap proved with three of the four councilmen present voting in favor. The ordinance's first read ing was approved, and without the emergency clause, it will be brought up for second read ing at an ensuing meeting. The new law would prohibit all littering of any kind of trash or debris and will appy to both private property as well as pub lic ways. State law now covers highways and public ways, the attorney explained, but there is no criminal provision covering littering of a person's private property by another. McCall Supporters Plan for Campaign Jerry Harris, from the siate of fice of the McCall for Governor committee, was in Heppner Tuesday in the interests of the election campaign. He met with Gene Pierce, county chairman, and with Randall Peterson, city chairman. Plans were made to obtain some local financing for the campaign. Pierce said that mail ers will be sent to Republicans believed to be interested in sup porting Tom McCall for governor, Those who prefer may make contributions to the campaign to Pierce at the Bank of Eastern Oregon. Mrs. Vtrner Txoedson, who will head the McCall campaign in the lone-Lexington area, was unable to be present for the meeting. Pierce and Peterson said that an active campaign will be con ducted here in the interest of McCall. JIM'S MEAT CO. CUSTOM SLAUGHTERING Stomfield, Oregon Curing.
