Central Point Rural Fire
District Gets Discussion
By City, District Heads
Central Point "If Central
Point and the surrounding rural
fire district combine their equip
ment and resources, we can
have, a fire department second
to none in Oregon," Councilman
Bill Abbott reported to a com
bined group of councilmen and
fire district directors last night.
Abbott, chairman of the coun
cil's fire committee, had just re
turned from a visit to nine rural
fire districts in the northern
part of the state, eight 'of which
operated out of a nearby city,
and reported on what had beenJ
found.
He stated the belief that the
rural district could cut down its
assessed millage to approximate
ly two mills or less next year
(the current assessment is four
mills), .and still have enough
money to start a sinking fund to
replace depreciated equipment.
Suggestions Repoiied
A number of suggestions on a
tentative basis were reported to
both the council and directors
by Abbott. He offered them as
a starting point for city-district
negotiations.
They were that the city would
agree to house the rural equip
ment for S75 rental each month;
the city would use this money to
put into a sinking fund to build
a new fire station; the rural dis
trict would buy one additional
piece of equipment.
The city would agree to man
the rural equipment in return
for use of the rural equipment
in town; the rural district would
pay all gas and oil and repairs
on its own equipment, and sep
arate accounts would be kept
for each group's equipment; the
city fire chief would be in
charge of, and responsible for,
operation and maintenance of
all equipment, and that he be
held accountable to both the
council and district.
Would Increase Pay
That the rural district pay
one-half of the fire chief's and
assistant fire chief's salary; if
an agreement is drawn, the
chief's salary will be raised to
S30 and assistant chief to $25;
the rural fire district would' pay
half of the $75 monthly pay-
Southern Pacific
Plans Radio Use
On Siskiyou Line
Extensive radio communica'
tions systems are being installed
by Southern Pacific to facilitate
train operations in the Sierra
cascade ana faiskiyou moun
tains, enlarging the railroad's al
ready heavy use of electronics.
according to D. J. Russell, presi
dent of the company.
-Freight trains operating over
the Tehachapi mountains and
along the southern California
coast have been equipped with
radio for some time, Russell
said. Use of radio to speed com
munications in large switching
yards of the railroad has been
increasing rapidly for the past
six years, he added.
Early Installation Due
The new installations are ex
pected to be completed before
next winter.
In the -Cascade, mountains of
western Oregon, radios have
been installed temporarily at
Eugene, Carter, Oakridge, Mc
Credie Springs, Wicopee, Cru
zatte, Fields, Cascade Summit
and Crescent Lake, and before
next winter will be on all
freight trains operating over the
Cascade and Siskiyou moun
tains, Russell said.
Three Frequencies Used
In its mountain radio installa
tions the railroad is using three
radio frequencies, one frequen
cy reserved for train crews in
communicating between head
and rear end of their trains, one
for snow fight lii g equipment,
and the third i'or communica
tions with or through the fixed
stations. In the yards other fre
quencies are used for the switch
engines and the walkie-talkies.
Dead line Sunday Classifieds Is at
5 30 p.m. for following day: 10 a m
Monday for Monday: noon Saturday
ment to the department fund.
The rural district would pay
each fireman on a rural call
$1.50 a call and $l-an hour, or a
fraction thereof, on rural fires
when out over an hour, with Jhe
district being billed each month
for services; that a written
agreement be drawn between
the city and rural district setting
forth the duties and responsibil
ities of each party for a five-year
period, and that the agreement
be subject to change at any time
by he majority vote of both
parties.
If a fire is in the city and
rural district at the same time,
each party would have priority
over own equipment; and that
the city will allow any of their
equipment to be used on rural
fires where needed when avail
able. Cost Outlined
He outlined the approximate
cost of such an agreement with
the city to the rural district as
S3.220, including purchase of a
new truck.
A summary of the activities
of the city department was also
made to the directors and coun
cilmen. Central Point has 18 ac
tive firemen using two city
trucks and one rural truck with
tanker support. The city governs
the department and the chief
and assistant chief receive $25
and $15, respectively, on part-
time service each month.
The city also pays the depart
ment $75 each month to be used
for whatever the membership
decides (usually put back into
equipment). In the first six
months of 1952, there were nine
rural calls .using a total time of
SV2 hours and '65 men. The per
centage of rural calls to city
calls was eight to two, according
to Abbott. This percentage was
the basis for the division of ex
penses between the city and
rural district.
Directors A. C Thompson and
C. ,C. Hoover both stated that
"there should, be some mutual
agreement between the city and
district no' matter what plan the
district decided to work under
in order that the resources of
each could work for the benefit
of the general public cc
cerned."
The city assured the directors
that the present system would
be in effect until the district de
cided to make further plans.
