SUNDAY, JULY 1, ma
members seemed reluctant to
take any action toward form-
ina a county sanitary sewer
district end thus set a prece
dent for the state.
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. Bonded indebted

counties such as Multnomah
and Washington counties.
"I have never heard of a
county forming a sanitary dis

Advised to Set Boundaries
Gerow advised Luschen to
set the boundaries first. "Oth

county to conduct a master
