Medford Rural Fire
District Election
Scheduled Friday
Dead line Sunday Classifieds Is at
noon Saturdays. ,
An election to form a -rural
fire district adjacent to Medford.
and to elect directors to head
the district, will be held this Fri
day, July 25, from 8 p.m. to 8
p.m. in two polling places, ac
cording to Mrs. Floyd W. Fogel
quist. chairman of the tempor-
arv district committee.
Polling places and the pre
cincts they serve are as follows:
Precincts 29, 30, 31, 57 and 59
will vote at Lone Pine school,
and Precincts 28, 58, 60, 64, 67
and 68 will vote at Oak Grove
school.
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

Jacksonville highway to Ross

The election will also name
five directors for the district, if
the proposal passes, from nine
candidates for the offices. Candi
dates include Eugene Shelton,
1059 Morrow road; Carl Norris,
103 Lozier lane; Allen Harris.
340 Charlotte Anne road; J. R.

court; Floyd Fogelquist, 1863
Crater Lake avenue; Leigh
CampBell, 1390 Beekman ave
nue; Oscar Chinn, 1827 North
Riverside avenue; Glenn Harri
son, 1328 King's highway; and
David Holmes Jr., Medford
Jacksonville highway.
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.
