At Monday's City Council meeting, a permit was issued Flatt's Lumber Transport Inc. to erect an all-steel prefab shop building on nearly an acre tract they have located between Gray s Repair Shop and the Oregon State Highway shop. They may tear down an existing house there. The new shop building will cost $10,000 and will be 40 by 60 feet. The City Council also voted to extend a permit for Leonard Toll to continue with construc tion of first floor of a residence at 385 Aiken St. David H. Miller had a temporary permit to park a trailer for 90 days on Cannon Street. Permit was extended for 30 days. A 2-year contract was renew ed for the Heppner Garbage Disposal Service.

Mayor Sweeney urged Coun cilmen to attend the Housing meeting next Monday at the Courthouse. He also announced a meeting March 28 at City Hall when Lou Baxter of the FHA will talk about financing water and sewer lines and reservoir financing. First reading by title was done on an ordinance requiring owners of property with trees fronting on streets to be res ponsible for keeping them trimmed with limbs at least 8 feet high. Penalties are men tioned in the ordinance for non-compliance. There was a considerable dis cussion of the City Charter and old ordinances that are out of date. Some do not comply with Oregon Statutes. Mr. Abrams and Elaine George had made a brief study and discovered many obsolete things such as $100 fines as a maximum which would include such a thing as drunken driving. It would be cheaper to be arrested by City Police in Heppner for drunken driving than in any other place in Oregon probably, according to Mr. Abrams, referring to this out-of-date rule. One rule re quires trucks to limit speeds to 15 MPH. A City nuisance ordinance is partly obsolete and there are many conflicts that the City Attourney feels would be well to straighten out and modernize. He hopes to have a law student work with him this summer and he offered to have him study the charter. Council discussed briefly the possibility of extending sewer and water lines to the south end of town in case a trailer court is constructed there. The Street Committee recom mends parallel parking on both sides of May Street in order to allay the congestion. The Com mittee also recommended no parking from the McMurdo home to Mrs. Van Schoiacks corner on the west side of Chase Street to help solve congestion. Council accepted the recom mendation. Acting Supt. Bud Springer will go up to Bremerton to in spect a tank truck as the City needs one to haul sludge from sewer plant to dump. The truck is a 1967 GMC for sale at $4074. It has under 40,000 miles. There has been a new light erected behind the Library. Another one in that area is needed. Mayor Sweeney recommends a committee study hook-up fees for water and sewer service. Two engineers will be here soon to make a study of two locations for new solid waste disposal sites in both ends of the County. $1500 from the bonds will be spent on the guard rail this summer on Cannon St. Council voted to pay the County $660 for the steel beams that had been used for a temporary bridge. The beams were stolen from the Hager Street location and had been borrowed from the County. Roger Thompson of Pacific Gas Transmission Company will talk at the Heppner-Morrow County chamber of Commerce Monday. His slide-illustrated talk will focus on "The Alberta California Pipeline-Present and Future?" Following his talk, arrange ments have been made for those who can to tour the facility at lone. There's a great deal of electronic equipment to be seen which explains why Pacific Gas Transmission Company is the largest tax payer in Morrow County. Students from Heppner High School and lone High School Chemistry and Physics classes may also tour the plant.

Jaycee Speaks at Chamber Bill Elfring, State Jaycee vice president of the NE Region made an eloquent plea for Jaycees and particularly for Heppner at the Heppner Morrow County Chamber of Commerce Monday. He outlined briefly the history of the organization which began in 1910 and reviewed the purposes: to build men. It is a development of young men who through their community pro jects, learn responsibilities, learn self confidence, gain composure, to organize, to budget time as well as money and gain ability to use creative thought. The member in turn transfers his success to assume responsi bilities in business, church and the communtiy. He urged employers to en courage their employees to join the Jaycees.

He said he was disappointed in the number of questions that were forthcoming from the audience that he was accused of "of asking too many". The point was made that the people were concerned about the number of roads that were being built, the right-of-ways that were taking land out of production and the amount of school money that was being used in building the roads.
