City Buys and Sells North Street Lot at September Meeting
The Bath city government voted to sell the North street extension and Lincoln streets lot for 1500 dollars. Critics say the sale deprives park purposes and suffers from insufficient publicity. A citizen offered two thousand dollars for the land if public notice had been given. If the highway project proceeds, the property becomes more valuable, intensifying debate.

Maine Education Spending Lags Like Eight Other States
A Maine School Finance Survey summary reports Maine is among eight states spending the least on education. In 1931 Maine's share of the tax dollar for schools fell 59 percent from 1916, with wide gaps between richer and poorer communities. The report notes small rural schools raise costs but argues for higher funding to match similar states, aided by federal relief and local tax trends, and lists the commission members appointed in 1933 including Kenneth C. M. Sills as chairman.
