Hall Named Spencer Lieutenant In Spencer Fire Department
Ted Hall is named lieutenant by Fire Chief George Barrett to replace William Wright who resigned after moving from the township. Wright remains with the department due to daytime availability. Trustees also revert Amish Road to Camp Road after objections from Homer Township. A metal cabinet for the Spencer Senior Citizens Club storage room at Town Hall was approved.
