Bath Flotilla member chosen for Coast Guard training
Alfred B. Stearns of Bath, a member of Flotilla 202 in the U S Coast Guard Reserve and Auxiliary, is selected for further training at the Coast Guard school in Buzzard's Bay Massachusetts. He plans to leave Bath Saturday after four years at Bath Iron Works. The local flotilla has been activated in peace time. In Bath city business, police gasoline and repair bills were discussed as officers and aldermen debated May fuel use and a club sedan and prowl car repairs. The council voted to refer the matter to the police committee for investigation and delayed action on licenses until health department input. Allan Spear was elected trustee of the Bath Water District to fill an unexpired term. A new garbage disposal ordinance was enacted, detailing dumping rules, licensing, and penalties. A victualer license for the American House was held up 30 days at health officer request.
