Orono Village Fire Aid Plan Discussed at Trustees Meeting
The Orono Police Village trustees met with full attendance to discuss the County Mutual Fire Aid plan and approve erecting a new village fire tank. Woodyard explained the mutual aid schedule allowing nearby communities to provide free assistance if involved in the contract, and noted Clarke Township calls could not be answered under the current rules without a contract. Cobourg advised the township would pay 100 dollars for the first hour and 25 dollars for each additional hour for village protection, which Miller called steep.
