Following a lengthy public hearing, the Barton County Commission Monday morning approved the organization of a new fire district in the county. Fire District Number Two consists of Albion, Eureka, North Homestead, South Homestead and Union townships, and the cities of Hoisington, Olmitz and Susank. In addition, the resolution called for the creation of a board of trustees to consist of from three to nine members representing each township and city in the district.
