A crowd gathered Tuesday afternoon at Benton City Hall to dedicate a newly restored clock tower. The Benton chapter of Lion’s Club International led this project as a community service, and many local entities helped to pay for the parts and repairs. Dick Welch of the Lion’s Club thanked everyone who helped with the project, including the Benton Police and Fire Departments, the Saline Courier, H&H Welding, Staley Electric, Allied Glass, and Larry Bueche, who Welch says did most of the actual restoration work. Bueche is a founding member of Saline County Preservation, Inc.
