Mayor Dillon Rules Out Run for Second Term
Mayor Dillon, upset winner over Mayor Haughey two years ago, disclosed today he would not seek another term. He said he is not going to be a candidate for mayor and may issue a statement later explaining why. Dillon, 63, is retired from General Electric and is seen as a strong candidate for postmaster when Biron retires Aug 31, though he noted he has not received definite word on the postmaster job. Richard W. Paul confirmed he will run for mayor, withholding formal announcement until Aug 17.

One Vote Remains to Approve Victory Hill High School Site
City Council insiders say one more affirmative vote is enough to authorize a Victory Hill site for a new high school, with a total cost around five million dollars. If the 2.9 million bond is not borrowed, funding for federal land purchase hinges on a two thirds council vote and a reauthorization plan. The 11 member body already approved a plan using federal land and Springside Park, with four councilors opposing. The Park Commission plans Friday discussion while rumors of GE Athletic Association land swaps have been dismissed.

WMEC Boss Joins Push to Kill Maine Power Project
Howard J. Cadwell of Western Massachusetts Electric heads a group of private power executives in an 11th hour bid to defeat a $227 million federal power project on the upper St. John River in northern Maine. The Electric Coordinating Council of New England says witnesses will oppose the Senate passed measure at a Monday House Public Works hearing in Washington. Maine senators Muskie and Rep.
