City Fire Department debate over Hose Co 1 cuts and budget
City council discussed reducing Hose Co No 1 from 15 to 10 men as part of a broader cost saving plan.

A $1,500 savings with Central Maine Power was approved, while fire department personnel costs remained under review.

Mystery surrounds long absence of Roy Wallace
Roy E. Wallace, son of Mr and Mrs George F Wallace of 390 Washington street, has not been heard from in a year and a half. The 46 year old marine engineer, last heard from November 23, 1931, warned his parents not to worry if no word for a year. He has sailed worldwide, most recently as chief engineer of the Steamship Java Arrow for Vacuum Oil Co. His ship was laid up in June 1931 and he returned to New York in July to seek work. The Seamen’s Union investigated without success and his parents continue to search, hoping for a future sound from him.
