'2 Capital Journal, Salem, School Districts Seeking Re-Vote i Woodburn Delegates from the Belle Passi and Hall school i districts met with the Woodburn school board Monday night and i requested permission to re-sub- mit the consolidation plan to ! the residents of their areas, con i tending that the narrow margin of defeat was not decisive enough i and did not represent the wishes ' of the majority of the people. J The Woodburn board agreed to cooperate and petitions are now ; being circulated in the three dis i tricts calling for another vote in I the near future. i The proposal was defeated in ' the Belle Passi district by a vote of 39 to 38 and in the Hall dis- ' trict 36 to 33. Woodburn, John- , ston and West Woodburn voted in favor and will probably be J declared a consolidated district i by the district boundary board. J Union, Grassy Pond and McKee l also votea Bgain&i me piujeui. The three districts favoring consolidation do not have the re- ' quired 1000 school census to J qualify as a first class district i having a total of only 871. With ;the addition of Hall and Belle t Passi, the required number 'would be met. i Information from the county ' school superintendent's office in dicates that if a consolidation i could be achieved before July 1, J qualifying the merged area as a i first class district, it could still stay out of the county rural t school law set up.

Dallas Fences Dumping Plot Dallas A strong board fence will be erected at the entrance of the Dallas city dumping grounds immediately, charges will be assessed for dumping on every day of the week but Sat urday and Sunday and a man will be on duty to see that the grounds are properly kept, ac cording to Nels Fast of the Dal las City sanitary service who holds the local garbage hauling franchise. These regulations, when plac ed in effect, will be enforcing city ordinance passed some time ago but not enforced after the death of a previous caretak er. Misuse of the privilege of dumping debris on the grounds has resulted in the present ac tion, which will be effective on Monday, Fast said. Charges will oe made at the rate of 75c per truckload, 40c per pickup or trailer load, 25c for 100 pounds or less, free dumping up to 100 pounds on Saturdays and the yard will be closed Sundays. Recent discovery of dead dogs and dead calves lumped right beside the county road at the grounds and the blocking of the entrance way with trash by the public precipitated the enforce ment of the ordinance. In the past it has been necessary for a bulldozer to be hired at city expense to Keep the grounds in condition. However, with the control exercised by Fast it is expected that this will not be necessary and those who use the grounds will be paying for its upkeep. Residents of other com munities have been using the dumping grounds without ex pense to them and have been causing their share of the trou- ble, Fast declares.
