To The Ground
The old homestead home on

burned to the ground Thurs
day night. It was thought
perhaps a faulty flue was the
cause of the blaze. This is
where the Charles McElligotts
raised their family and where
there were many happy
memories for three genera
tions. Lee Holboke known to all the
McElligotts as Uncle Lee
made his home there. He was
a brother to Mrs. Charles
McEIligott, mother of Don and
Dick. The family is grateful
that he had gone to Dons for
supper that evening and
wasn't in the house at the time
the fire started. He is sad to
have lost his many precious
books and his Bible.
The wind had died down and
no other buildings caught fire.
The hoses were kept on the
other McEIligott homes.

At a public hearing conduct
ed by the Morrow County
Planning Commission on
Monday evening in Heppner
two Conditional Use Permit
Applications and two Zoning
Text Amendments were con
sidered. The first Conditional
Use Permit application sub
mitted by the Boeing Com
pany for a 320 acre feedlot
near their test site on the
Boeing tract was unopposed
and was granted. Mr. Grigs
by, Boeings' representative at
the hearing, stated that this
was the first phase of an
extensive feeding and process
ing complex that is planned
for the future on the property.
The second Conditional Use
Permit Application was sub
mitted by the Campbell Ranch
just West of Butter Creek
Junction. Mr. Glen Campbell
was present to explain their
plans for an automated
"warmup" type of feeding
operation just East of their
headquarters buildings along
the County road. They applied
for a Conditional Use Permit
on 160 acres but Mr. Campbell
said they did not plan to utilize
all of the acreage for this
purpose at the outset. Some
neighbors to the East and
Northeast were present to
question Mr. Campbell about
the environmental Impact of
such an installation. The
Planning Commission granted
a Conditional Use Permit for a
3,500 head operation with the
stipulation that all State and
'Federal standards must be
met before the lot can be used.
Amendment
The first amendment to the
Zoning Text adds Solid Waste
Disposal sites to the list of
Conditional Uses that may be
granted by the Planning
Commission in the Farm,
Commercial, and Industrial
Zones in the unincorporated
portions of Morrow County.
The second amendment to the
Zoning Text corrects a mis
print in the Ordinance and
deals with the wording in
Section 7.020 Application for a
Conditional Use. The new
wording states that such
applications should be filed
with the County Planning
Commission instead of the
County Court.
The next regular meeting of
the Morrow County Planning
Commission will be held on
Monday, December 4th at 8
p.m. They hope to begin
consideration of the Proposed
Subdivision Ordinance for
Morrow County at that time.
