Petition Seeks to Preserve Old Pier for Boats Near Arrowsh
State Rep J Horace McClure is circulating a petition to the State Highway Commission urging that the south pier of the old Arrowsie Woolwich bridge be left standing when the new bridge is completed. He argues the pier provides a mooring site for small craft and would be cheaper than removal. The idea has broad support from boat owners and the public. Payne on Party Platform In Maine Governor Frederick G Payne backs the Republican platform urging tax system revision and abolition of local property taxes, saying the plan aligns with his 94th legislature views and that a Citizens committee may study finance policy.
