ble expansion of the city water
and sewer systems to ac
commodate the housing

discussed at length at last

its water and sewer system.
Boardman is making the
application through the East
Central Oregon Association of
Counties for the study funds,
according to Waliulis.

again at the meeting and was
looking for an answer on a
question relative to repay

sewer systems. To bring about
a major project, as Cooley is
proposing with Howard Kart
chner, Desert Magic Farm
Corp. president, would call for
a big expansion program in
Boardman's water and sewer
systems.
Cooley told the council that
hisfirm may be in a position to
advance the money for the
expansion if it would be
repaid by the city, either
through funds received in
federal grants or by connec
tion fees.
Mayor Dewey West Jr. and
other members of the council
showed interest in the propo
sal and instructed City At

proposal and give the city an
answer.
