Central Oregon Association of
Counties (E.C.O.A.C.) has

Oregon Transportation Sys-

2:20 a.m. and received minor
injuries.
Rick Jerald Rea, Box 4160 in
Lexington, reported Sept. 24
that his wallet had been taken
Sept. 15. His billfold was
reportedly taken from his
unlocked Ford Thunderbird
while he was at the Elks Club
in Heppner. His wallet had $40
in it.
Randolph Carl Krueger, 105
Arcade St. in Lexington,
reportedly swerved off the

HI
mm w&m
tern in Salem this week. The
packet of proposals will then
be forwarded, with any modi
fications the state makes, to
the Federal Highway System
in Washington, D.C. Secretary
of Transportation Neil Gold
schmidt will have the final say
on whether or not a new
interchange will be built.
"Access is the biggest
question," Davis said. "There
are only two instances in
Oregon where access has been
granted after a freeway has
been built so it does not
happen that often and we are
being very careful about the
process."
Davis said the package
includes the request for fed
eral funding for the new
interchange.
Beverly Kyd, Port of Mor
row Commissioner, said the
interchange is needed "bad
ly" in Boardman.
"Chip (Charles) Davis'
package includes many peti
tions from people in this
area," Kyd said. "We are just
getting organized to take the
package to Salem. The truck
traffic from the potato plants
goes right down main street in
Boardman and it causes a lot
of congestion. Sometimes the
traffic makes it impossible to
enter onto the road.
"If there is to be any further
growth in Boardman, a second
freeway route, to reroute
truck traffic, must be built."
Heppner's Rod Aho, who is
chairman of the Transporta
tion Advisory Committee of
the E.C.O.A.C, said the big
produce trucks drive right by
the high school and sometimes
traffic is backed up all the way
to the freeway which causes a
"hazard."
"The drive is to convince the
federal government that an
interchange is needed about
two miles east of Boardman so
the big processing trucks
won't have to drive through
town and cause congestion,"
Aho said.
Resident exasperated by City Council
Don Robinson, of Heppner,
was obviously upset Monday
night at the Heppner city
council,meeting in the city hall
building.
"It is unreal to me that a
private party has to survey
and gravel a street within the
city limits just so I can sell
some land," Robinson said.
"It is the most exasperating
thing I have ever done in my
life. I don't know if it's worth
it. I've never seen so much
buck passing in all my life. I
just want a street made so I
can sell my land.
"Housing is needed in this
town and the street will help to
build up the housing to help
more people. This is going to
cost me so much money that I
don't know if I can do it. I can't
believe all this regulation."
Robinson wanted the city
council to survey and put
crushed rock on a road at the
east end of Fairview Way so
the road will provide access to
his land so he can sell it and
construction can take place.
Cliff Green, city council
man, said, "the city has no
use to develop that street right
now."
Robinson was granted per
mission by the councilmen to
build the road at his own
expense.
In other city council action,
the members agreed to let the
local Veterans of Foreign
Wars put a flag and light in
front of City Hall at the VFW's
cost.
Bethel Heinrichs, member
of the library board, spoke to
the council about the drafting
of a new policy.
Heinrichs said when one
person does not return a book
to the library, 10 to 15 percent
of the library's monthly bud
get is lost. She wants to adopt
a policy that if a book is not
returned, after one month a
noticewill be sent and' two
weeks later another notice will
be sent.
If the book still is not
returned, a third letter will be
sent which states that if the
book is not returned in 14 days,
either the book must be paid
for or the county district
attorney will be notified.
There is no overdue book fee
charged right now. The coun
cil decided to check with the
DA's office before adopting
the policy. .
There may be a drainage
problem at the new Morgan
Street Bridge. When the
bridge was put in, the drain
age ditch was covered up so
now one has to be made. The
new one was going to be made
3425,000 loan approved
tha nnH nnp was but a
better way has been decided
on. The only problem is the
new plan would have to cut
across the newly paved road
and the new pavement would
have to be torn up.
The councilmen admitted
the ditch should have been dug
before the road was paved. It
would take less pipe to cut
across the road but the money
saved in the pipe will be spent
repairing theroad. The council
decided to let the engineers
decide which route the drain
age ditch will follow.
The Oregon Economic De
velopment Commission ap
proved a $425,000 loan to the
Port of Morrow.
Greg Baker, manager of the
Oregon Port Revolving Fund,
said the money will be used for
improvements to the indus
trial wastewater treatment
system. The system, in the
Boardman area, must be
enlarged to meet environmen
tal standards. The wastewater
system handles the effluent
from potato processing plants.
The loan is for 10 years at an
interest rate of 8.25 percent.
The farming leases will be
used for collateral for the
loan.
