If the composition of the Anderson township trustees stays the Samb in the next few years and current Harmony continue there is a Good likelihood the Board presidency will be rotated every year.

He told the journal either of Brien or Don Papner could be elected president but Papner had been president for two years and thus his nomination of of Brien. Papner was elected vice president. Of Brien said All the trustees he feels a have the Best interests of the township at heart first and he said trustees have a a lot of priorities to contend with. Taylor volunteered to chair the boards Hospital welfare and sanitation committee. Since the third fire House is nearing completion Papner said he would be a Happy to continue to chair the buildings and maintenance committee.
