25 years ago this week. An 18-year-old Perrysville man, Carroll County, a member of the Perry Township volunteer fire department, has been charged with arson in connection with a fire which caused an estimated $20,000 damage to the Jerry Snair home north of Perrysville.
The Ohio Insurance Association of Bellville, Ohio, has authorized payment of a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone who sets fire to any building insured in their association. Arson is becoming a more serious problem for the association each year. So far in 1977 they have paid claims on more than a dozen arson fires at a cost in excess of $250,000. If the association had no such fire they could reduce their rates by at least 40 percent, according to president M. E. Garber.
