Kinzua Veneer
Plant to Open
In a phone conversation yes
terday with Allen Nistad, offic
ial of the Kinzua Corporation,
the Gazette-Times learned that
the new green veneer plant at
Heppner will go into operation
this year, perhaps by fall.
Mr. Nistad said a new ham
mer hog is being Installed at
the planer to break up planer
trims and blow them to the new
shaving bin. The burner at the
Heppner mill has been taken
out of service by installing a
hog to break up the slabs and
put them in the mill's fuel sys
tem. - . ,
The boilers will receive major
repairs later this month includ
ing installation of water cooled
grates, dampers, feed drives,
etc. Completion of these projects
will enable the mill to meet cur
rent air pollution standards.
The company has just reach
ed a decision to put the new
green veneer plant into opera
tion this year. Plans for com
pletion of the plant are in the
hands of the consulting engin
eer.

Council flltafeeirs
Face-Chy Problems
The Heppner City Council had
something of a long drawn-out
meeting Monday evening. Prob
lems concerning building per
mits and Council of Government
for Morrow County were discuss
ed at great length and then the
problems were not resolved. -Building
Permits
A building permit was ap
proved to Father Raymond Beard
for the construction of a new
St. Patrick's Catholic Church on
Gale street, the same location
as the existing structure. The
new building, a one-6tory wood
and brick building is to be built
at a cost of $128,000. Completion
date was set for one year but
it is anticipated the time will
be much sooner than that. A
variance was granted. The
building in a residential zoned
area will be a foot closer to the
front than the 20 feet required.
Council voted to deny a build
ing permit to Lowell Chally for
the construction of a 4 foot wide,
40 foot long and 5" thick cement
sidewalk in front of his home at
a cost of $200. Council found
fault in that the walk had been
constructed before the permit to
build was applied for and ac

Council of Government
It appeared to be the feeling
of the council that questions
concerning the proposed one
county Council of Governments
could best be answered by Judge
Paul Jones and so was not ap
proved until the Judge could
visit with the City Council.
Council recognized the value
of the cooperative venture to
procure a solid waste disposal
site for the three towns, the
county, the Forest Service. While
no vote was taken, it seemed
to be the feeling of the group
that an agreement on one spe
cific need might well be spelled
out for the formation of such a
Council of Government rather
than a blanket formation of
such a group. Council noted that
they had never applied for or
used federal funds for the In
stallation or construction of
their water system or sewer sys
tem. Supposedly such a Council
would have to be formed before
applying for federal funds.
Back to the problem at hand
Council members reviewed the
members of the committee ap
pointed to work out some form
of action on the land-fill prob
lem. They were the mayors of
the towns of Heppner, Lexing
ton, lone, County Judge Paul
Jones, Marvin Chitty of the For
est Service and Dale Boner of
,'the Soil Conservation Service.
Pump Bids Opened
Bids for the pump to be In
stalled in Well No. 5 were op-
J ened from Farmore of Pendleton,
Morrow County Grain Growers
and Jamison of Condon.
Specifications had called for
bids for pumps to be set at two
different depths in the well.
Council agreed with Vic "We
should get a pump the first go
round that would do the Job if
the water should drop". So the
bigger pump bids were the on
ly ones considered.
There was little difference In
price and two council members
spoke out in favor of buying
the pump locally and felt the
service would be Just as good
if bought locally. MCGG bid on
a Berkeley pump about which
Vic said, "It's a good pump".
' The bids were to be studied
and the selection recommenda
tion left to the water .commit-
tee, Jerry Hollomon, Bob Jones
and Rita Hedman,-with Vic
Free Parking Approved
Council approved a request of
the Merchants committee ' to
have Free Parking during 9 pro-
motlonals a year. -
Mayor Bill Collins gave cost
figures for the establishment of
7 survey monuments within the
city. One former established
point is believed now to be oov--ered
by Higgins' garage.
Vic reported the water line
from the new well had been
piped across the highway and
that the State Highway was
bringing in a Freeway broom at
5 o'clock Thursday morning, to
sweep up the sand and dirt
from Main St.
