Problems Dog
Citv Council
The Heppner City Council
Monday night devoted con
siderable time to a discussion of
serious dog problems here. In
recent weeks a small dog was
literally torn to pieces by large
dogs; one dog bared its teeth
and came after a law officer
who properly defended himself.
Other dogs have from time to
time molested sheep near town.
Many complaints have been
received of dogs bothering
children at school and to and
from school. Worried school
officials fear for the safety of
children.
City Policemen will now pick up
dogs running at large and those
considered a nuisance.
The dogs will be taken to Dr.
Norene's Veterinary Clinic and
impounded for five days. If not
bailed out within five days, the
dogs will be disposed of.
The City of Heppner plans to
implement the present City
Ordinance. The Council plans a
meeting with the County Court
and Sheriff's office and may
petition the Court for assistance
in this matter.
In other discussions Supt. Vic
Groshens reported on a 6-wheel
military truck available in
Portland. The City has been
looking for a truck capable of
hauling sludge from the sewer
plant to the dump grounds. The
truck with a 3000 gallon tank
and a pump would cost $3500.
The City will have a repre
sentative inspect the truck and
report back.
City Recorder Elaine George
reported that $985 has been
received from County road
taxes. She also gave a detailed
report on the League of Oregon
Cities meeting and workshops.
