Woolwich Voters Cut Budget May Trim Local Taxes
Woolwich residents reduced the proposed 1954 55 budget by more than 3000 dollars at the annual town meeting and may cut the tax rate by one cent. A school lunch program costing 500 dollars was rejected. A special committee was named to study town privileges with the Bath Water District and report at a future meeting. The move follows a 15 percent rise in district property values and disputed assessments tied to water district improvements and historic privileges.
