25 Fire Wardens To Be Dismissed In Indiana
Twenty five district and county fire wardens will be released from duty July 1 as the 1959 General Assembly trimmed 86000 from the conservation department salary budget. Names include Allen Hubbard in Jackson county and Delbert Dudley in Jennings county. Wilcox said reduction may shift firefighting duties to county enforcement officers for 30000 annually, instead of 960000. Governor Handley expressed sympathy but relief bills failed. 23 tower men remain, with 26 more counties to be added for enforcement surveillance.
