Berlin To Vote On Fire Levy Resolve Fire Protection Standoff
Berlin Heights and Berlin Township trustees agreed to place a fire levy on the November ballot to fund updated equipment. A 1941 pumper would be moved between village and Ceylon station during negotiations, with potential replacement of obsolete gear and a new truck if approved. The levy would span village and rural areas and likely be at least one mill, yielding about $9 000 yearly.
