County Court Receives Low Blow
Employment Funds
The County received a low
blow the first of last week when
Bob Fiocchi of the Employment
Division in Pendleton called to
inform the Court that the Public
Employment Program assign
ed to Morrow County was being
phazed out. Certain sums of
Title 5 and 6 have been
designated towards the phaze
out program.
Under Title 5, the sheriff's
deputies are employed and
under Title 6 the planning
personnel are employed. This
means that one deputy will be
released within two weeks and
the Communication Clerk can
be retained for 6 months. The
other deputy will be phased out
June 30, 1974.
The Planning Department
was given $11,000 as phase out
money. This means the funds
are available for the secretary
until July 1, 1973 and the
planner until April 1, 1974.
Unless the budget committee
would see fit to designate funds
for the continuation of these
positions.
Judge Jones said, "Yes, it's a
low blow to the County. If SB 100
passes for a state wide planning
law, more pressure will be
placed on the Counties."
Visitors are always welcome
to sit in on the meetings of the
County Commissioners. They
meet for business every Thurs
day at the Court House but
usually the first Thursday sees
the most business being trans
acted. Last Thursday La Von Wilson
and David Mitchum met with
the court in regard to the
proposed budget for the
Umatilla-Morrow County
Mental Health Department.
This year with a representative
staying in the county, the
request from Morrow County is
$4200. It is hoped that the School
District will share in this cost.
The new furniture has arrived
for the Mental Health offices
and an Open House is planned
'or late in May.

20 Circles
The Boeing Company plans to
add 20 irrigation circles in its

$1,600,000, according to an
article in the Tri-City Herald.
Denver Grigsby, Boeing gen

construction of a 3700 horse
power pumping station on the

to use private contractors to do
the work of installing circles,
requiring 40 to 50 workers.
The new irrigation project is
just east of the 3300 acres they
have developed in previous
phases. It is hoped first crops
can be planted this fall, half in
pasture and the balance in
alfalfa, corn and wheat.
Mr. Grigsby stated they have
more requests for land than

ed is leased to ranchers raising
cattle, hay and silage.
First agricultural develop
ment started with 1500 acres in

call for a 3000 acre development
each year until 42,000 acres are
irrigated in 13 years. Company

ed that a call from Mr. Hogan of

Dam project. However, Mr.
Hogan believed there is hardly

urcencv for improving water
supply was still with us. Testing
is planned this weekend on the
Fairgrounds well. Council dis
cussed talking to the County
Court about using the County

spending a quarter of a million
dollars or more on a big pipe
line. Investigation is underway
on cost of a new reservoir
located above the Lott-Ras-mussen
Addition.
