Fogel quist. chairman of the tempor- arv district committee.

Boundaries Given The proposed rural fire dis trict is bounded on the north by Coker Butte road, west to Schulz road and the Table Rock Market road, south to DeBarr road, south at Howard avenue across the Pacific highway and west to meet Ross lane; on the east, south on Foothill road from Coker Butte road to Hillcrest road, east to Cherry lane, south on North Phoenix road, includ ing Coal Mine, Graffis and Campbell roads to the Phoenix city limits on the south, follow ing the Houston, Carpenter Hill and Pioneer roads to the Griffin creek road; on the west, north on Griffin Creek road to the Jacksonville - Phoenix highway, then west to Arnold lane, then north, ' crossing the Medford- Jacksonville highway to Ross lane. The election will also name five directors for the district, if the proposal passes, from nine candidates for the offices.

Advantages Noted Several advantages in fire protection and insurance reduc tion were noted by backers ol the district at the recent public hearing on the proposed dis trict's boundaries. A saving of from 5 to 10 per cent on insur ance premiums is available from the insurance rating bureau based on the location of the de partment, equipment and perma nent personnel, when such a dis trict is formed. Increased fire protection, added to the dis trict's own, is gained by mutual aid agreements with adjoining rural fire districts. Mrs. Fogelquist made an ap peal to all legal voters in the district to express their opinion at the polls so that a representa tive vote can be obtained. The district, if formed, can only levy a four-mill tax this year because the budget deadline for such dis tricts is normally July 15. An extension to August 1 was grant ed by the county assessor this year. Any further levy requires a special election which is now impossible until the next fiscal year.
