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.
SSgt. Samuel O. Green, son
of Mrs. Verle Richardson of
Ileppner. Is spending a 45-day
leave of absence here visiting
his family. Sgt. Green will re
port to Ft. Lewis, Wash., for
assignment, after returning from

duty as commander of convov

Range of Matters
At Monthly Meet

police. 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.
The high school will cooperate
in the effort.
Announcement was made of
the regional meeting of the
League of Oregon Cities which
will be in Pendleton on May
23. It is expected that some of
Heppner's city officers will at
tend. Act on Curfews
A discrepancy between the
city and county curfews was
pointed out at the meeting.
County curfew calls for youths
under 18 be off the streets on
week nights by 11 p.m. The city
curfew, passed in 1940, requires
all under 16 to be off the streets
by 9 p.m. Motion was made to
take action to bring the city's
curfew in line with the county.
