LOGANSPORT - Following action at Monday's City Council meeting, a fire territory involving Logansport, along with Clay, Eel and Noble Townships is a step closer to becoming reality. The Council approved, on first reading, the ordinance establishing the territory.

Formal approval is expected to take place during a meeting March 15th, with representatives from the townships also scheduled to be on hand.

Councilman Scott Kraud is Chairman of the Finance Committee, and notes that the rate would be 43 cents in Logansport, and 25.7 cents in the townships. Two cents of the rate will go towards equipment replacement.
