Fire District Exit Offered By Board
The Little Dixie Fire Protection District authorized voluntary withdrawal for members by written request. Directors Lierheimer and Schutte said residents north and west of the district boundaries and those recently annexed to Mexico may opt out due to double taxation and limited early protection. Written requests must include a legal property description and be sent to secretary Mrs. John Gage. A hearing will consider all petitions, and non petitioners will remain district members.
