Summary

Peaine Township’s March 30, 1985 annual meeting reviewed its finances and budget, approved a $400 fireworks contribution and $500 toward a seasonal tourist-information office, and discussed campground care, beaches, signs, cemetery work, and possible township cooperation.

Evidence limits

The newspaper minutes record motions and discussion but do not establish later payments, office operation, campground administration, or township merger.
