Lorain council weighs more firemen amid budget woes
Lorain council's police and fire committee heard requests for 10 additional firemen and 12 policemen plus salary raises. City funds are short, so the proposals were put in abeyance pending a detailed financial report from City Auditor Antone Aghely. Fire Chief Dale Sheridan urged creating a full time three man fire prevention squad led by an assistant chief as marshal with 11750 salary and 1 percent longevity. He argues a prevention squad would cut insurance costs and wants a rescue squad for the southeast city area.
