Firemen Charge Cooperation Lacking in Pomeroy
Pomeroy volunteers from three fire companies met with the village council at city hall to press on appointing a new fire chief. They accused Chief Herb Giles of delaying alarms and said he has served too long. Mayor Spencer explained chiefs serve indefinitely until resignation or removal for cause. Inspector W S Thompson confirmed the mayor’s reading of the law. A committee was formed to discuss with Chief Giles and a further meeting is planned.
