The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday December 21, 1978-ELEVEN gon Francis Rose Irrigon's December Council session opened with the read ing of a letter from City Engineer Tom Clark, evaluat ing testimony at a recent sewage disposal hearing, rela tive to health problems in the area. He noted that testimony, at the Health Dept. hearing, agreed 100 per cent that a health hazard existed. In the letter, Clark noted that a formal decision, from the Health Dept. had not yet been made and set some alternatives for action by the city in the event such a decision does not accelerate acqusition of a municipal sewage treatment system. He said that a more intense sampling program might be necessary and that another possibility was expansion of the present water system, to reach residences within the area presently using water from shallow wells. This would require these wells to be abandoned for domestic use. He stated that the involved government agencies had in dicated that help in financing was available for either alter native. An engineering agreement covering work to be done under the second phase for the sewer system planning was tabled until more in formation on what was actual ly involved and how payment would be made, was settled. Discussion concerning police protection for the city centered on the hiring of a new police-safety officer. A pro posal to hire Gary Kirkpa trick Htllo then!
