Bath Eyes State Armory With Center-Section Site Consideration
Indications point to Bath securing a State armory if terms are met including a site of at least two acres and an expected cost around 610000. A city property near North street extension is noted as excellent, though center-city locations may yield more revenue from fairs and shows. Other items warn of speeding on Bath Brunswick highway, improvements to Washington street, and rising gambling temptations.

Youth dies as four injured in touring car crash
An accident involving a touring car near a parked Buick left one youth dead and four injured. Authorities, who interviewed victims, suspected a tire blowout though all tires were inflated. The crash, blamed on the car striking a culvert, left the engine base torn away and puzzled investigators. Officer Crosby found no grounds for charges against Avery, the parked car owner, who worked for Hendrickson Bros. on highway construction. The 16 year old driver, MacFadden, held a license misdated to 18, prompting questions about the Motor Vehicle Bureau. A Portland couple, aged 74 and 75, was denied a marriage license for relief reasons, with officials delaying the license for a week.
