Athens Council Deadlocks Over Fire Department Staffing
Athens council stalled on expanding fire department ranks as five members split on increasing officers from two captains and two lieutenants to three captains and three lieutenants. The tie decision blocked the ordinance, with a motion to return to committee defeated by a deadlock while the 1973 budget of 2.5 million dollars was approved and an animal warden position was tabled for further discussion.
