After a week to think about it, Allen County commissioner decided to give LaHarpe $31,962 for additions to its rural volunteer fire department.
Commissioner Bill King said, I thought it was a reasonable request. They werent asking for the whole thing. They were putting up $31,962 themselves.
King added he didnt think they should take up LaHarpes offer to repay the money.
I dont want them to pay it back. I think we should help them out.
Waverly Construction put in a bid of $63,925 to make a 15-foot addition to the east end of the building to the alley and to add six inches of concrete to the additions floor.
