f vlrrlcon City Engineer Val Toronto met with the Irrtgon City Council Dec. 11 to outline the current status of proposed water improvements. Also present from Fsrmers Home Administration were Ken Durall, county super visor, and Larry Splndlar, engineer from the Portland office, F.H.A., provided fi nancing for the initial water facilities. Recent rejection by the State Engineers Office of an application permit for drilling a second well was based on critical lowering of ground water In the area and the fact that only a small part of the first permit allowance is being utilized. An attempt to have a representative present from the engineers office was unsuccessful. Priorities appear to set additional storage first and discussion of the proposed 200,000-gallon reservoir was finally stymied whn legal questions arose in connection with methods of financing. A meeting between the city attorney and Majestic Acres Corp. was authorized to an swer some legal point for the council. Cecil Cooley was present representing Majestic Acres, which plans a subdivi sion in the southeast area of town.
