Mayor Seavey pressed the district formation plan, saying that the city taxpayers should not have to foot an additional bill, through use of the general county fund. Supervisor Lauritsen, later In the discussion, said that the supervisors had not thoroughly considered the district foimation plan, and Indicated they would do so.

EXCHANGE OF EQUIPMENT Supervisor Dickenson and Supervisor Claris commented after reading the city proposal, that they had hoped for a more "cooperative pro gram, where the equipment and men In an enlarged fire depart ment, could be used both inside and outside of the city limits. Councilman Fitzgerald commented that he felt the city-owned equipment could not be sent outside the city limits. In connection with this view, city leaders stressed that nothing would be 'undertaken which would peril the city's high Class 3 fire insurance rating, gained through a fine fire record. City Manager Charles Martin quoted Loren Bush, engineer for the Pacific Fire Underwriters, as saying that city equipment could not roll outside the limits without menacing this rating which saves city property owners thousands of dollars annually In insurance costs. The insurance rates are sharply higher outside the city limits.

Chief Van Sant said that one reason why the city has achieved the high rating is because it has proper building and electrical inspection to insure safe lSliildings. He said that there is no inspection outside. He said also that some of the outer areas, especially In the Alta Heights-East Napa section, do not have water mains of a capacity to insure proper protection. ANNEXATION DISCUSSED The discussion brought out the question of annexation of the fringe; areas to the city, as an alternative! to the. formation of a fire district, County Counsel Daniel K.

York1 commented that many residents outside have the opinion that the city, if it annexed them, would force them to Install water mains, curbs, sidewalks and other improvements at once. He said that if the city were to explain that water mains would be installed at city cost, and that the lastallation of curbs and sidewalks would be left to the propel ty owners to do as they saw fit. that the opinion would change. City Manager Martin said that in the event any areas were annexed. it would be the city's obligation to lay the necessary water mains to afford fire protection.

He said that the matter of curbs and sidewalks Ethel Bosworth, Long ill, Passes Mrs. Ethel Bosworth died near Angwtn yesterday at the age of 69. Private funeral services were held last night from Morrison Funeral Chapel In St. Helena with the Rev. Luther Ison, of Napa, officiating.

The company has purchased approximately 10,000 acres of land for evapo- ration and salt crystallization ponds. Heavy lines show estimated boundaries of the land. Included are Duttons Ranch. Edgerley Island, Fly Bay, Little Island, Knight Island and Banty Island. Tire company will spend more than $3,500,000 on the project.

Dutra, 302 acres, Du-beault and others, 600 acres, $6000; Dutton Ranch, about 1200 acres, about $20.0,000.

Allen said that the company has completed its acquisition of land. Properties acquired include Duttons Ranch, Edgerley Island, Fly Bay, Little Island, Knight Island and Banty Island. The general area of the property $3,500,000 tern. The bittern is drained off and sent for use to chemical plants. From March to September, more and more brine will be added until four or more inches of salt have crystallized.

The harve.st season starts at this time. Night and day. huge mechanical harvesters will scoop up the crystallized salt and load it onto conveyances which will it to the loading docks on the Napa River. These harvesters have the capacity to discharge 10,000 tons of clean, washed salt onto huge stacks, which look like miniature snow-covered mountains. Allen explained that the operation is a continuous one, so that water will flow from one pond to another on a certain schedule wrhich will allow for the greatest evaporation and consequent precipitation of salt.

The company official noted that one of the fu-st effects to be felt in Napa and Solano Counties as a result, of the new plant will be the increase In the tax base for the counties at the expense of the company.

He said that a thorough 6tudy might prove that annexation to the city of certain areas Is infeasible at this time. Most of the however, w'hich already have propei; mains, could secure proper protection by annexing. Councilman Mannering declared in this connection, that the city would be duty bound to accept any area which annexation. He called attention to a plan In operation elsewhere, whereby costly services are withheld by the city for the first year after annexation, in order that the city could avoid insuperable costs in too short a time. Mayor Seavey asked why the su-j pervLsors might be against a district formation, and Dickenson answered that they felt such a move might forever seal off the outer, areas from annexing.

Seavey said he felt the district formation might have the opposite effect, and speed annexation. S. F. STOCK MARKET SAN FRANCISCO, May 14. W) Losses far outnumbered gains in morning trading on the stock exchange today.

The salt plant will not Interfere with the many duck clubs in the area and, in fact, may help them by flooding of a greater area of land. Salt will be produced by use of a series of salt ponds, using existing levees as well as additional levees and small dikes which will be built. specjai crystallizing basins, will be constructed as well. Allen explained the operation in this manner: By means of a system of levees, sea water will be pumped from San Francisco Bay along the Black Point cutoff. It- will be circulated slowly through huge shallow ponds, some of them hundreds of acres in size.

In April and May, when evaporation begins in earnest, concentration of brines will be noticeable. Saturated brine from these ponds is then pumped into smaller ponds where salt crystals will settle to the bottom and leave a brine which is Vital Statistics DIVORCES HOLM153 Hazel M. vs. Orville complaint filed; grounds, cruelty; Francis Frisch, attorney for plaintiff.

Tire salt company will develop a series of evaporation ponds on the property but because of the time equired for development of the land, it is not expected that a commercial crop of salt will be harvested until 1958.

The company's present program calls for shipment of bulk crude salt from special loading facilities on the Napa River. The Lestlie Salt Company is the largest salt producer on the West Coast and possibly' the largest solar evaporation operation in the world.
