LEBANON — Fire levies in suburban Union and Harlan townships won Tuesday, while fire levies in fast-growing Salem and Clearcreek townships were rejected by voters.

        In Clearcreek Township, voters were defeating a 4.5-mill continuing fire levy. With 50 percent of the countywide votes counted in unofficial returns, the levy was losing 54 percent to 47 percent.

        The levy would cost the owner of a $100,000 home about $137 a year.

        In suburban Harlan Township, voters were approving a 2.9-mill fire levy renewal, 66 percent to 33 percent. The five-year levy would result in no tax increase.

        Union Township voters were saying no to a 1.9-mill continuing replacement levy for fire services, 55 percent to 45 percent. The levy would mean a $46 tax on a $100,000 house.

        The immediate future of fire services in Salem Township is uncertain because voters were rejecting a 2-mill continuing levy, 60 percent to 40 percent. The levy would have been used to build a fire station.

        Voters were also defeating a 2-mill levy for township operations, 66 percent to 34 percent. Each levy would cost $61 for the owner of a $100,000 home.

        In other issues:

        A police levy in Maineville was losing, while one in Harveysburg was passing.

        An additional 1-mill continuing levy for police in Maineville was being defeating by voters, 57 percent to 43 percent. The levy would boost takes by $30 for a $100,000 house.

        Meanwhile, a 1-mill replacement police levy for three years in Harveysburg was getting the OK from voters, 57 percent to 43 percent. The levy would generate no tax increase.

        A 1-mill, five year replace ment levy for the Recovery Services of Warren & Clinton Counties was losing with voters in Warren County, 55 percent to 45 percent. It was also trailing in Clinton County, 57 percent to 43 percent.

        The agency would have used levy funds to hire therapists for people who are now on waiting lists, expand mental health services for children and start a sexual abuse treatment and prevention program. The levy is expected to generate about $3.7 million and cost $35 a year for the owner of a $100,000 house.

        Voters in Franklin may be getting a new library thanks to strong support early for a 0.72-mill, 30-year bond issue.

        The bond issue, which was winning 62 percent to 38 percent, would generate $3 million for a new public library.

        The levy would cost the owner of a $100,000 house about $22 a year.
