Pige i, THE GAZETTE-TIMES, Heppner, OR, Thursday, Sept II, ir5 nicorj rjEivs The Irrigon Qty Council met Sept. I, for one of its longest meetings in recent years, with a hearing on a water improvement district heading the agenda. There were two property owners present who were involved with the project and no objections were voiced. An ordinance was adopted creat ing the improvement district. Pete Slocum of Schroth Insurance was present and reviewed the City's insurance coverage and noted full liabil ity tort coverage would in crease present rates three times. The matter was tabled until available finances could be explored. The improvements recently completed for the water system are being presented to the fire rating board by the insurance company and will be evaluated for a possible rate change soon. The location of a county-city building in Irrigon was dis cussed and the council was unanimous in their support. The county offices serving northern Morrow County as well as the Justice Court are presently located in the Wilson Park Drive-In. In other business a license renewal application for Clark's Tavern was approved. A request for use of the service bay in the City service station for auto repair was turned down. Sale of the building was discussed and if a suitable price can be obtained, their opinion was to dispose of the property. Carl Knighten a long time resident of Irrigon has moved to Portland.

Wheat losses Farmers storing wheat on the farm were warned this week not to allow plastic covers to lay in direct contact ' with the wheat. Al Plummer, administrator of the Grain Division, Oregon Department of Agriculture, said some farmers are losing grain due to sprouting and fermintation because they have not provided ventilation under plastic covers. He said condensation due to normal evaporation will collect on the underside of these covers unless ventilation room is provided between the grain and the cover. The moisture then damages the wheat. Plummer said some farm ers, attempting to keep wheat harvested after recent rains separate from wheat harvest ed before are storing some outside on the ground and covering it with plastic.
