DALLAS The Polk County
Court announced Wednesday that
within five days it will set a day
for a vote to determine formation
of a proposed rural fire protection
district north of West Salem.
At a hearing here Wednesday,
10 landowners of the Brush College
area requested that their property
be withdrawn from the district
proposed by petition.
County Judge Cal Barnhart and
his commissioners indicated that
the boundary would be redrawn to
pliminnlp thp ir9 It fnrmc a tnr.
rier oi me aisirict originally pro
posed Withdrawal of the section wa
requested because it rovers a large
area of orchards and farm land
with few buildings to justify extra
taxing for fire protection in the
opinion of owners.
The hearing indicated that resi
dents of other portions still want
a fire district. A request was made
to include a new section in the
district It lies between the Or
chard Heights Koad. southern
boundary of the proposed district,
and West Salem The court said it
would consider petitions to include
the area later.
