Bath clergyman seeks permit for city amplifying system
Rev. Charles H. Berry of the Independent Full Gospel Assembly asked Bath officials for a one hour amplifying permit to broadcast sermons. The hearing stretched nearly an hour with protests from Alderman Burgess. The council dropped the motion to grant after city officials noted no complaint had been filed against carnivals using loud speakers. The clash highlighted tensions over nuisance rulings and city licensing as tax collection and public safety measures proceeded.
