It w rjblnrd that te would be imrw ha! higher lnsl.1 the city, but that thl wa offset by lower lnur- Knee rate, additional fir and police protection, car of atresia. street light, etc. The main uhjct of diculon j wa the xtfhUlty of extending the city iu'Wi-r Into the area. At; the present time all home In! that aectlon are served by septic j tank, and many are having trouble because of poor drain age. The council explained that the area must come Into the city If Its resident want sewer service, and. under city ordln ance, any sewer extension oust would have to be born by all property owners affected. The city offered, however, to help the residents In financing the cost of the extension, and ex plained that It would probably cost each property owner about " $700 for the sewer. An engineer's estimate of the project placed the total cost at about $12,000. but the city probably would lay the line with Its own crew and mayor Collins said this could possibly save some money. One resident asked about tax ation In connection with the rural fire district, saying he un derstood that even though the j area was annexea 10 me cny, residents would have to continue to Dav the rural fire tax for several years. Fire chief C A Ruggles and assistant chief and councilman Robert Penland ex plained that under the law, no group can be taxed twice for the same service, saying that as soon as the area became a part of the city, it was automatically taken off the rural fire tax rolls. Many persons present at the meeting expressed the desire to come within the city limits, though no actual vote was taken at the time. The council explain ed that if 100 percent of the property owners would petition for annexation, it could be done with very little difficulty and red tape. If less than 100 per cent sign a petition, it would be necessary for the area to hold a special election to vote on the question. In the latter case only a majority vote is necessary for approval. It was announced tnat a straw vote would be taken among res idents of the strip to determine if all were in accord with the move and the annexation could be accomplished by petition.

Census Count Can Be Valuable for Social Security One of the many reasons why it is so Important to be counted In the U S census, as well as supplying correct and complete information about yourself and each member of the family, was Illustrated today by Vernon A Welo, district manager of the La Grande Social Security office. Mr Welo said that of the 43 claims for social security ben efits forwarded from his office last week for payment, five of the claimants used old census records to establish their age. One of this group using old cen sus records was Jeff E Thomp son of Hermiston. Mr Thompson submitted a census record or June 1. 1900, which listed him as five years old at that time. The information was furnished the census enumerator by his parents, Burt and Annie Thomp son, residing then in Elk Town ship, Clarion county, Pennsyl vania.
