Tax problems cloud rural fire district plan in Benton County
Benton Chamber hears the proposed Rend Lake area rural fire protection district is financially unfeasible due to insufficient assessed valuation. If formed it would require seven full time firefighters and 20 volunteers to serve West City Whit tington Ewing and east shore areas. The district remains alive but needs additional financing study. The chamber also seeks four young men 21 to 35 to restart a Benton Jaycees group. Officials will consult the state highways office about mowing changes and address prior issues with Big Muddy River bridge on Route 14 west of Benton after several accidents.
