CANDIDATES LINE UP FOR COMING PARTY CAUCUSES
Presidential candidate Donald N Sina and Mayor Arthur Sewall face renomination discussions as caucus plans unfold. Alderman Ralph W. Bragg weighs a possible mayoral bid while Alderman Small backers rally for his supporters on the council. Chair H Martin Powers is eyed as Democratic nominee in Wednesday caucus. Restoration of city salaries near 1930 levels is debated, with committee recommendation trimming the proposed 10 percent rise. A measure to place police under civil service is shelved for now, and leasing the Kelley Spear ship yard to Pejepscot Paper Co is discussed for a pulpwood receiving station at 300 dollars yearly rent.
