Council Academy Budget Clash Divides Saco Officials
A Saco city council budget showdown left Thornton academy at $315000 and public schools raised by 14000 to honor existing teacher contracts. Mayor Whelan received an unsigned academy contract while trustees complained the academy appropriation fell short of its terms. The special meeting trimmed the contingency fund and bumped credits from unappropriated surplus, yielding a net total of 1043900 dollars for 1963, a tax rise of just under one mill.
