Lewis Hunter, route 1, Tatl cnt, a resident of the south Talent area volunteered to cir dilate petitions to form a dis trict. Previous petitions were to approve a preliminary sur vey and study of a possible sanitary district. 15 Per Cent Needed After 15 per cent of the resident property owners have signed petitions favoring a district, the county court calls a public hearing. Then, if a majority of those attend ing the hearing are favorable an election is held within the district. It would probably cost the people within the proposed district about S50 in election costs, County Judge Earl Miller said. Consulting Engineer James K. Hory explained the pro posed area had been enlarged to includp the property from the present Highway 99 to Bear creek. All the area to the new freeway also may be included, he said. Estimated Cost Overall estimated cost for serving three areas with a sewer system would be S161, 485 without the city of Tal ent. He defined one area, Area A, as southwest of Highway 99 to the railroad tracks, another. Area B, the Old Highway 99 to the new Highway 99 plus a corner area, and the third Area C would extend from Highway 99 to Bear creek. The overall area might be served with a lateral on botn sides of the railroad tracks, another along the southwest side of Highway, 99 to Wag ner creek, and a third along Bear creek to a point east of the city of Talent to a sew age disposal plant. The proposed sewage dis posal plant size would be R lagoon type, a five - acre pond to serve 500 people. The general district would be assessed for the main sew er trunk and the residents lor laterals serving their homes, it was explained. Separate District Area A or Areas A and B could form a separate district if the other people -decided against a district. This is the most populous area, it was noted. The district could be enlarged later by adding the other areas. The city of Talent has indi cated it would cooperate with the proposed district. Judge Miller said.

Miller said the law eral petitions from residents was designed for the larcer. more metropolitan Oregon counties such as Multnomah and Washington counties. "I have never heard of a county forming a sanitary dis trict," he said. Advised to Set Boundaries Gerow advised Luschen to set the boundaries first. "Oth erwise, you are asking the county to conduct a master sewer system development plan for the floor of the val ley and this is another thing," pern ti k mi m iiTii I Seely Halls Return To City To Live :V fa PP&L Official Ends 42 Years of Service Shakespeare Workshop Planned A 3 Mr. and Mrs. Seely V.

Luschen referrrd to the area including Lozicr lane which has been a headache to the Medford Irrigation dis trict because of effluent from septic tanks emptying into ir rigation ditches. Former District Attorney Thomas J. Reeder threatened legal action against the offend ing property owners unless the public nuisance was cor rected. Further action was de layed when residents of the area tried to annex to Med ford.
