Earlier this year $805,000 of the bonds approved were sold; as yet none of the state apportionment money has been requested. The money obtained from the bonds remains in a bank account as the board members found that they had a problem in obtaining land to build the school, The board's thinking early this year was to obtain Bureau of Land Management land off Bost Avenue. Upon voter approval to sell the bonds, the board asked BLM for the land and found that the land had mining claims which had to be cleared before the district could gain clear title and that a Chinese cemetery on the property also had to be declared no longer a cemetery. The board soon found that these problems would take from 12 to 18 months to be cleared upso that the district could obtain a clear title to the BLM property. W. Edward Browning, who was the district superintendent through the three bond elections, resigned and the board appointed Dan Woodard to replace Browning.

Program Chairman Dan 3reitweiser introduced Chapman, the U, S. Forest Service manager of the air tanker base and a resident of the loca! area for the past six yearsT™ Chapman compared the locally based, modern F 7-F Tigercats against the older types of air~ craft in the air-tanker line. There are two F7-Fs based at Grass Valley and they are operational approximately 107days per year. These aircraft can be airborne within 10 minutes after a fire call, said Chapman, They carry 800 gallons of fire retardant, a water chemical mixture called Fire Trol. Fire Trol is a long term retardant, said Chapman, which adequately retards fire for one week or better and also acts as a fertilizer on trees and grass, It takes 45 to 50 seconds to fill an F 7-F compared to about 10 minutes on older type aircraft. The cost of this mixture, said Chapman, is $100.80 per 800 gallons when mixed by the Forest Service, compared to $300 if the job were contracted. Thus, $105,000 is saved annually because the Forest Service mixes its own Fire Trol, said Chapman. There are 168,000 gallons in storage at the site or enough to fill three B-17 air tankers he added.
