Columbia Township 1962 Year in Review Fire Dept and Road Work
The 1962 year saw Columbia Township push road improvements with about 80 percent of roads surfaced and plans for continued ditching and resurfacing. The Columbia Volunteer Fire Department became a jointly run entity with the village, as legal challenges and a levy funded equipment upgrades and a new station. The master plan progressed, cemetery prep began, and zoning enforcement discussions intensified amid long standing disputes over a memorial cannon and plaque in Rochester Park.

Volunteers start fire department ROCHESTER township plans
The Rochester area trustees faced a disappointing vote on a 1 mill five year operating levy to fund a new volunteer fire department. A tie vote halted the measure, with hopes pinned on a revote and a cooperative plan with the New London fire crew. Junior residents would support maintenance and repairs through private funds, while zoning, equipment, and station needs were addressed.
