Page . THE GAZETTE-TIMES, Heppner. OR, Thursday. O in Seven persons seek election next Tuesday in Lexington city races. One of those races, a council spot for a two year term, is a three way race with two positions up for election. The other three positions have no opposition. Lee Padberg runs unoppos ed for a two year term as mayor. Gene Orwick did not seek re-election as mayor. In the four year terms, Pat Wright and Vic Klinger are incumbents and unopposed. Lois M. Allyn, incumbent city recorder, js also unopposed for a four year term. The race evolves around a pair of two year terms. Robert Ed Baker L. Reavis, Ed Baker and Bill Smith are all attempting to attain one of the two spots. A brief outline of the can didates follows. Some of the candidates were not available for photographs. MAYOR Lee Padberg, un opposed. Padberg, a citizen of the Lexington area for 27 years, is seeking his first election to public office. He ran for a council spot previously, but was defeated. "Nobody else wants the job," Padberg said. "I will try to see that the city is run as cheaply as possible." Padberg said he saw no real problems in Lexington but, like all the other candidates, wants to see the city's try for a new sewer system succeed. Four Year Term Pat Wright, Vie Klinger, unop posed. Pat Wright, county health nurse, has lived in the Lex ington area for more than 20 years. She was appointed to fill out a vacancy in the Lexington council six months ago. "Lexington is growing," Wright said, "and I'd like to see services mandated be cause of the growth demands at the lowest possible cost." Wright cited improvements in the fire department and the sewer system improvements as issues of priority to her. Wright said that the fire equipment needed "updating badly" and said if remedied, citizens of the city would "qualify for lower Insurance rates." Wright said she would represent the people and "respond to their wants and needs." L n s Vic Klinger has also served on the council six months, filling a void because a Pat Wright councilman moved. Klinger simply wants to "serve" his city and "help the city out." With the sewer system- in his mind, too, Klinger said the city should know in two weeks about the outcome of a proposed 100 per cent grant to the federal government. Klinger also cited Lexington growth. "Lexington has set back too long," he said. "Lexington is the most cent rally located town in the area. Klinger said Lexington has room to grow and an improved sewer system would be a "good step forward." Klinger, who cited the schools movement out of Lexington and then the offices Bill Smith moved back because of cen tralized location, said he wants to see Lexington at its "original state." He said Lex ington has more room to grow Lexington f . ft., f ''X,V ' ' '.
