Fire District
Millage Here
Increases
"The Mill City Rural Fire
Millage increased to 5.6 mills
for 1963 as compared to the 1962
millage of 4.7" said Linn Coun­
ty Assessor Al Brown. This
means in the Mill City Rural
Fire district that a $10.000 pro­
perty with a $2,500 assessed
value multiplied by 5.6 mills
will pay $14 to support the Ru­
ral Fire district.
The Gates Rural Fire millage
Increased to 6.4 mills for 1963
as compared to the 4.4 millage
of 1962. On a $10,000 property
with a $2.500 assed value the
tax will be $16.
Idanha Rural Fire millage
decreased to 3.1 as compared
to the 1962 millage of 4.0. A
$10.000 property with a $2.500
assessed value will pay $7.75
to support the rural fire dis­
trict.
Lyons Rural Fire millage in­
creased to 2 9 mills for 1963 as
compared to the 1962 millage
of 2.8. This typical $10.000
property with a $2.500 assessed
value will pay $7.25 to support
the rural fire district .
The service received from this
Rural Fire district is a much
reduced cost of insurance, mak­
ing rural fire protection an ex­
ceedingly good buy for the pro­
tected property owner.
Throughout
Linn
County,
there are 14 fire districts, seven
of which had increased millages
and seven had decreases, the
highest millage this year being
Gates with 6.4 mills and the
lowest being Harrisburg at 0.9
mills.
As a total of the 14 districts,
the valuation of these districts
increased $2.000.000 in 1963
over 1962, and the amount of
money required to be raised in­
creased from $134,729.89 to
$147.462.16.
School Gets Under
Way in District Mon.
Monday marked the first day
of school for youngsters attend­
ing under the new administrat­
ive district.
Registration figures for the
first day were slightly under
last year but more are expected
to register before the week is
over.
At Gates there were 143 re­
gistering; Mill City elementary
enrolled 273 and at Santiam Hi
179 entered the first day.
There was some confusion in
bus schedules, lunch time and
so on, which is expected to be
ironed out before the week is
over.
Two first grade mothers had
a frantic few minutes the first
day as their youngsters got on
the wrong bus—some first grad­
ers go to Gates and some to
Mill City. One little boy was
found on the "wrong" school
bus and when asked what he
was doing there replied “I don't
know."
One mother said she had
three youngsters, all in dif­
ferent school buildings and all
were happy in their new sur­
roundings.
Better Register If
You Wish to Vote
Linn County Clerk Don Pen­
fold and Marion County Clerk
T. Harold Tomlinson are advis­
ing all potential voters that re­
registration closes at 8 p. m.
September 14. 1963, for the 30-
day period prior to the special
election which is scheduled for
October 15.
Only legally registered voters
are able to vote on questions
concerning their government.
Generally, any citizen 21 years
of age and upwards, capable
of reading and writing the Eng­
lish language and a resident of
this state for more than six
months, is eligible to register.
Persuns who have changed
their name, address or political
affiliation, may re-register with
their local registrars. All re­
gistrars serving prior to the
general election last fall are
prepared to assist citizens in
qualifying to vote.
Mrs. Mel Rambo is the regis­
trar in Marion County and Mrs.
Charles Dolezal and Tom Kan-
off register the Linn County
voters.
