They may tear down an existing

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

A 2-year contract was renew

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old ordinances that are out of
date.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out-of-date rule.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

electronic equipment to be seen

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. Heppner chapter
needs 18 more members by
April 30 who will pay their $12
dues in order to continue this
organization. Young men be
tween the ages of 21-35 are
eligible.
O.W.Cutsforth reported on the
Forest Service seminar of Feb.
27. 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.
Coast to Coast won the pot.
