Co. Court discusses water
runoff on County Rd.
By M A R Y A N N I K K I L L O
Concern over water run off and
eroaion on County Hoad led to a
discussion by Morrow County Court
with County Public Works Director,
Otto Burden, on making the road
one way County Hoad branches off
of Puller Canyon Hoad In Heppner
According to the court, the water
runoff and erosion coming down
from Heppner High School la a
potential hazard to vehicles in win
ter
Judge Don McKlligoll suggested
making the road one way by Sep
(ember 4. when school starts, and to
have the water runoff problem
solved by Dec-ember
"As far as I'm concerned. If you're
going to make it one-way, it should
he one way going up." said Commis
sinner Irv (touch
A local resident who was present
pointed out to the court that since
Morgan Street Is one way going
uphill and Water Street closes dur
mg the winter, making County Hoad
one way going uphill would leave
several houses in Lott's Addition
with no road going down the hill
The court deferred a decision
In other business County Court
received a written request from
Morrow County Sheriff Hoy Dr a go to
take action against an attractive
nuisance" located on Wilson Hoad in
Hoardman
According to Drago. the house has
been abandoned, the floors are
rotted out and the windows are
broken with glass strewn about
Children are currently playing in
and around the site
The court immediately looked into
forming an "attractive nuisance
ordinance
County Council Mike
Oths recommended that the court
use another method, such as taking
action under the ordinance for a
plain nuisance instead of forming a
new one
On the suggestion of both Com
missioners Kauch and Warren Me -
Coy, the court agreed to send a
warning to the owner of the house as
a first step
