Spend Less Money and Reduce Taxes Advised
Frank H. Holley, chairman of the state assessors, urged a retrenchment program at the 15th annual assessors convention in Augusta. He noted tax increases for state and municipal levels from 1910 onward and argued that only tight public spending can steady taxpayers, restore confidence, and bring prosperity. The piece also covers Bath Iron Works celebrations, destroyer construction plans, welding shifts, and local workplace notices.

Miss Jane Lemont guides a visitor through the home’s history, noting its sideways street-facing design, ties to the Trufant farm, and changes from a once vigorous crick and mill site to today’s well preserved residence.
