Bangor Chamber Proposes Unified Maine Highway Plan
The Bangor Chamber of Commerce urges state wide action to improve Maine highways for summer visitors. A committee led by William R. Ballou and Charles Murray recommends contract timing from September to June, with heavy work in fall and spring, strict penalties, no non emergency road work June 15 to Sept 15, and early tar operations. The plan aims to reduce travel disruption, provide year round employment, and gain broad support from chambers, boards of trade, and civic groups.
