Then posing the question to
Peterson, Gilman asked "Do
you think the merchants can
police themselves?"
Peterson said he doubted
that the self enforcement
could be accomplished.
"Maybe at first but I think
the situation will slip back to
where the people working
downtown will be using the
spaces."
Gilman questioned the deci
sion to begin a tire chalking
system to enforce a one hour
parking limit, citing the extra
work it would place on his
staff.
"The chalking will have to
be done every hour or every
hour and a half and the

Gas disaster avoided in Heppner
Potential disaster, in the
form of 500 gallons of gasoline,
flowed down Heppner's Main
Street Sunday afternoon and
left residents shaking their
heads at the thought of what
could have happened.
Police Chief Dean Gilman
said he noticed a stream of
liquid in the Main Street
gutter but thought someone
was using water to hose down
a sidewalk or wash a car
further up the street. After
taking a closer look at the
storm gutter in front of
Gardner's Mens Wear, Gil
man realized it was gas and
wheeled his cruiser, with
lights flashing, into the inter
section to stop traffic.
"I was trying to alert the
people about the gas and at the '
same time trying to get some
assistance on the radio,"

the Cardinal Club of lone Schools convenes for its February

Mr. Lowe came to Morrow County at a very young age

invited to attend. The meeting will be held Thursday, Feb. 9,
beginning at 8 p.m. in the cafeteria at lone High School.
Refreshments will follow the meeting.
Robert Judd of Irrigon
requested a ditch be placed
along 23rd Street to correct
the continuing problem of
water running onto his proper
ty. He also pointed out a large
pile of brush and limbs which
had been dumped on the
shoulder of the street when the
court and Roadmaster Doc
Sherer inspected the problem
area. No decision was made.

school is out and there's
bumper to bumper traffic all
the way to the courthouse, a
man shouldn't be having to

tionhe should be free to
patrol the streets," Gilman
said.
The recommendation that
will be presented to the
council includes removal of
the meters, a one hour parking
limit throughout downtown
except for three 15-minute
space in front of the Post
Office, raising the overtime
parking fine to $2.50 and
initiating the chalking system.

Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in City
Hall.
Gilman said. "It was a tense
situation and one engine spark
or a match could have touched
the whole thing off."
The source of the gasoline
was the Fulleton Chevrolet
building where apparently the
main power switch for the gas
pumps was left on over the
weekend. Sometime Sunday,
one of the hoses was locked in
the 'on' position and left on the
ground where it went unnoti
ced. Gilman said he suspected
vandalism in the incident.
By .the time Oregon State
Police arrived to assist in
controlling the traffic, Carey
Peterson, a Fulleton employe,
entered the building and shut
off the switch to stop the gas
flow. The street remained
closed while city fire crews

based in Chicago, met with the
court and the roadmaster for
the purpose of going over the

Jury trial requests spur
possible leash law changes
Two requests in the last
month for jury trials by
Heppner dog owners charged
with infractions of the present
dog ordinances have promp
ted the Heppner City Council
to consider revising the city's
leash law at its meeting on
Monday, Feb. 7.
City Attorney Bill Kuhn has
drafted a new dog control
ordinance which he hopes the
city council will adopt to
effectively replace the ones
now on the books. He said it
outlines a civil procedure
which decriminalizes the in
fraction of the dog ordinance,
eliminating the choice of
an expensive jury trial. In
stead, persons charged with
flushing the gutters to get rid
of the last traces of gas.
