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.
