Council Scans
Steps To Form
Fire District
The necessary steps for set
ting up a rural fire district
were discussed at this week's
meeting of the Yoncalla City
Council.
Taking part in the' discussion
were Don Husband, Eugene at
torney; Frank Kauble of Salem,
state deputy fire marshal; Gor
don Wood, a representative
from an insurance company;
and Bill Lasswcll, Roseburg at
torney.
According to Mrs. Karl Hum
mcl, correspondent, Husband
said the first step necessary is
to obtain a legal description of
the area to be served. Next will
come the circulation of a pcti
Hon containing 200 names or 25
per cent of the land owner pop-l
ulalion. Following completion of
the petition, the County Court
would then hold a hearing and
schedule an election at which
five commissioners would be!
named to carry out ways and
means of setting up a rural fire
district.
Although much interest was
evidenced, said Mrs. Hummel
no one volunteered to head a
committee to circulate a peti
tion.
In routine business, the Conn
er, voted to use money taken
in from rental of the City Hall
for the City Hall maintenance
fund. Members also decided
to bill the kindergarten for elec
tricity used.
The council said it would co
operate with the Yoncalla Wom
an s Study Club which asked
for blinds to be put up in the
City Hall so that daytime films
could be shown.
