Bath Water District asks tax relief from Woolwich assessment
Sagadahoc County commissioners held a hearing on the Bath Water District petition to adjust Woolwich property taxes. The district argues the $7,500 valuation and $375 tax for 1934 are unfair compared with nearby parcels, noting the Frank Head property rise from $2,000 to $6,000 and other parcels. The district says it protects Nequasset Lake water supply, maintains vegetation, and uses a dam to improve water quality, while conceding taxation fairness and willingness to pay a just share. The hearing featured George M. Stinson and Charles B. Randall on the commission with Bath attorney Judge Walter S. Glidden and Woolwich officials. court duties later shifted to Judge Arthur J. Dunton.
