Salem Has No OWigatipri in j j
Fire Protection Outside of I
" Gty Limits, Mayor Declares
z The city of Salem "does not guarantee or assure lire protection
. to an property located anywhere outside of the city limits," Mayor R.
L. Efstrom has informed Mrs, Donald K. Griffith, secretary of the
Liberty-Salem Heights fire district committee. j
The question was .raised by Griffith in a series of questions to the
wiavor Dertainin to a vote scheduled Tuesday, December 13, as to
whether a new fire mstnci snouia
be formed iu an eight-mile-square
area south and southeast
The mayor said the city's at
titude toward fire protection out
side of its incorporated limits
was set forth in its resolution of
last December 27. The resolution
provided that in cases wherein
equipment could be spared' from
the city, and wherein special pro
tection was approved in advance
. i . M.tnAi1 trAnArtv turn
I ers who had deposited a minimum
j of $100 would receive response
f from a fire alarm. The deposit
Y would be payable yearly with no
rebate. J
The charge to residents with
such contracts would be :$50 per
hour or fraction thereof for each
piece of fire equipment used, the
iDO thus paying ior one nour jot
two pieces of eequipment If more
than that equipment-hours were
needed, an additional charge
would be made on the $50-an-hour
basis.
Mayor Elfstrom wrote that
there was no truth in reports
that city fire trucks would re
spond to rural areas in cases
wherein residents had $50 riders
on their Insurance policies to
residents had a $50 deposit In the
bank. He also said the city was
not required to send trucks out
side the city limits up to three
miles, as had been rumored.
Mayor Cfstrom, who said the
. city would be "willing to discuss"
. the oroblem of mutual aid- in
event a UDerxy-saiem neignu
district were formed, declared
that:
"There have been Isolated cases
where the city llre-figlitlng
equipment, has. In the absenle of
any arrangements therefor, re
sponded to calls to private prerrii
A lses beyond the city limits. Un
der tne terms oi ine resolution
such calles are now against
-the declared policy of the coun
cil, although the fire chief has
some discretion -in. the 'matter
where be considers the outside
fire to be of a nature or at a lo
cation that it may menace prop
erty within the city."
The proposed fire district ex
tends roughly from the south city
limits on the' southeast to Pringle
rood on highway 99-E, and south
to the ridge above Croisan creek.

PORTLAND, Nov. 26-WVMary
Hope Hodgdon, 12. got a belated
Thanksgiving present today her
vision. j
The youngster who since child
hood has been the eyes of her
blind parents learned today that
her ! one remaining eye probably
will be saved.
The eye, threatened by the same
rare ailment which cost her the
sight of the other, was examined
by physicians today, 10 days af
ter an operation.
The retina, which had been
breaking loose, was fastening
down again as needle-pricks heal
ed. !"The operation appears to be
a very j great success," reported
physicians at the Elks eye clinic
of the University of Oregon medical-
school.
Sandbags which have been
around Mary Hope's head to avoid
a, sudden movement were remov
ed. She can safely move her head
a little more, now.
Mr. and Mrs. Lee Hodgdon
promptly began making plans to
celebrate. They expect to bring
Mary Hope home from the hos
pital in about a week. j
But she still won't get to read
the 1,000 letters and packages
which have been sent her from
throughout the country. !
"We're saving them until she f
gets home," said her father. "But f,
friends are going to read them ;
to her. We're not going to run any f.
risk of straining that eye." . j I;
