New Meadows Bridge Status Sparks Legislature Debate
A Thursday debate centers on relieving Bath of maintenance for the New Meadows river bridge near the Inn. The bridge, moved from Bull Rock to its current site to aid regional traffic, remains a shared burden for Bath and West Bath Bruns wick. Officials warn a replacement or major repairs are needed soon, likely shifting the cost to Bath.

Roosevelt Radio Address On Banking Crisis And Recovery
The nation heard President Roosevelt discuss the banking situation, causes of the trouble, measures to avert further issues, and policies to secure a sound banking system. He urged confidence, noted banks would reopen or be strengthened, and predicted a more flexible system with little risk to depositors. Maine congressmen Reedy Moran and Utterback supported the president’s request for broader authority to settle veterans' compensation and salaries. The bank holiday curtailed spending, teaching thrift and cutting family budgets as the country enters a tighter era.
