At the Irrigon City Council meeting Tuesday a water rate schedule for use above lou.oou gallons was presented and endorsed for presentation to the Farmers Home Adminis tration for approval. The present schedule pro vides a basic charge of $5.95 for a 3.000 gallon minimun, 25 cents per 1. 000 for the next 7.000 gallons and 20 cents per l.ooo for the 90,oou. The continuing graduated schedule would charge 15 cents per 1.000 for the second lOo.ooo gallons. 10 cents per 1.000 for the third 100,000 and 5 cents for all above 300,000 gallons. A special council meeting was announced for Tuesday, Aug. 21, when Val Toronto, city engineer, and representa tive from Farmers Home Administration will meet to discuss proposals for upgrad ing and expansion of the water system. When it is determined what the needs are, proposals for their financing will be brought before the people in a bond election. Consideration will be in cluded for water storage and pumping facilities for the first part of the proposed housing project, which includes 53 houses and a 60-unit apart ment building. One public meeting on the proposed expansion has been held. The public is invited to attend all council meetings. The council approved a package beer license renewal application for the Complete Food Store, owned and oper ated by Lavern and Marge Christiansen. A similar li cense application covering draught beer on the premises was not endorsed for Gerald and Rita Clark for the new business under construction. In refusing the endorsement, councilmen said the reason is the absence of law enforce ment personnel in the area and the closeness of resi dences to the business. Sever al townspeople were present in Kuppo'at of the endorsement of the application. A letter was read concern ing water use at the St. Patricks Catholic Church, with request for consideration of reducing the rale because of the amount of water used for sprinkling. Mayor Chester Wilson suggested a formula which would reduce the billing to about 50 per cent. The Council in refusing to grant a special rate expressed the view that It would lend to encourage the use of more water instead of conserving water on a system designed for domestic use only. Be cause of a shortage of irriga tion water this season there has been a heavy demand on the system for sprinkling, resulting in periods of low water pressure in July. Wilson stated that over a million gal. of water was metered to the 60 current users. A letter from the State Board of Health was referred to, which urged all community water supply to take immedi ate conservation measures. t Mr. and Mrs. Felix Friend and Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Bertrand vacationed in Can ada this summer.
