Fall Bargain Basket Day Prompts Rural Fire Proposal
A proposal to bring fire protection to Lake Prairie Township farmers is set for a public presentation. Committee chair Elmer Ver Meer and secretary Dick Boot lead a petition with about 150 signatures asking trustees to schedule a special election for September 26 at Vogelaar's garage. The plan allows a maximum one mill levy to fund equipment and services, with possible joint action with neighboring townships or a city. A public meeting is planned for September 21 at the Legion Hall in Pella with Pella Fire Chief John Hocksema and Earl Pohlmann explaining rural fire operations and insurance implications. All farmers are urged to attend.
