Projects Talked At Monday Meet (Continued from page 1) The Forest Service has also asked for a firm price on the property he holds at Kelly, but Cutsforth said that if it is sold to the government there is no wav to tell when it could be developed for recreational use, Cutsforth said that he felt something must be done right away to form a plan of proce dure. Judge Paul Jones said that he believes there is little hope now of getting Bureau of Outdoor Recreation funds. He said that the Kelly project would be the biggest fish impoundment in the state, and it is estimated that campgrounds and roads would eventually cost about SS75.0O0. "We're looking at a total of $1,250,000 on this project," he said. It was agreed that the cham ber's recreation and park com mittee, which Cutsforth heads, and the county development committee, which Judge Jones heads, will meet to consider what action might be appropriate. The judge also read a letter from Cong. Al Ullman stating the belief that the Willow Creek Droiect is assured as soon as funds can be made available. Rev. Al Boschee extended thanks of the Christian church for the hospitality extended to the Eastern Oregon Christian Churches convention over the week-end and especially for the 'Welcome' signs displayed through the courtesy of the Chamber of Commerce in local stores.

It touched off some intra- council debate that became ra ther heated. McLeod said that the police car had been observed in the mountains several times, the last being on a search for a lost girl. He said that he had been asked why the police car was out of town and wanted information as to the limits ot the city police jurisdiction. Councilman Balfe said he felt that the question should be asked of the chief of police first and not brought up in council meeting since it posed the wrong inference. McLeod countered that he was merely seeking information and that the city may wish to change a rule on the matter if it is necessary to go out of town. When the joust was over, the matter was referred to the po lice commitee. Contract Accepted Bid of Percy E. Jellum, con tractors, to do street sealing work in Heppner was accepted at a total price of S2600. The council will ask that the work be done before July 1. Council man Jerry Sweeney suggested that since the bid was below expectations that balance of funds available be used to pave the parking area across the street from the swimming pool It was decided to get the work done if it can be done at favorable rate. A letter was read from Co- captain Dave Hall of the Hepp ner High basketball team ex pressing the team's appreciation for the city's support during the state basketball tournament. The letter was written some time ago but came in too late to be read at the previous coun cil meeting. Fire Inspection Made A letter from the Oregon In surance Rating Bureau, dated April 25, expressed appreciation for cooperation received in a re cent inspection here to evalu ate the citv for fire insurance rating. The letter said that the gradings would not be complet ed for some time. Mayor Rosewall said that Cleanup Day in Heppner will be May 23, and he will issue a proclamation to that effect.
