Chauncey Fire Bond Declared Invalid Amid Ballot Error

Chauncey village council said a ballot error voided the bond issue for a new fire truck and equipment. The issue had passed 4 to 1 last November but a maintenance clause rendered it illegal under revised law. It will go back to voters in November. Fire Chief Jack Hamer urged careful alarm reporting. The meeting also approved TV service line installation contracts and a power agreement with Columbus & Southern Ohio Electric Co. May finances showed $448.60 in receipts with allocations to funds, and 26 arrests logged by the marshal and patrols.
