District tussle over Esquesing fire hall funding
Milton resident Ken Marshall and neighbor Bill Lawson pressed Esquesing council on financing a proposed fire hall. They argued funds from the capital reserve and taxes township wide should not finance a single area, noting prior use of funds for land and a police building. Council avoided firm cost figures, stating tenders would not open until December and that no decision had been made.
