An employment agreement submitted to board members by the Chief of the local Rural fire district, calling for a rai-c in salary and a request for the re : moval of one of the board mem bers, caused some concern among tax payers in the district. It was claimed among other things that the member was un cooperative and hard to get along with. The member in I question claims tiiat the dislike is caused by his opposition to some of the methods being used ! and his insisting that the disl- ! ricts busmes be run in a business j like manner. And that a yearly ; itemized report of the receipts and disbursements be filed with the county court as required by law. There has been some critic ism of the board as a whole, some thinking they are rather negligent in transacting the business of the district, and not themselves taking on the re sponsibility of the hiring and fixing of salaries.
