Nixon Signs Bill To Tap Highway Trust Fund
President Nixon signs a three year highway bill allowing the Highway Trust Fund to be tapped for mass transit. The measure, after weeks of debate, permits $200 million in trust funds for buses in 1975 and reallocates funds toward urban rail transit, with $8.6 billion for interstate construction and $9.75 billion for network completion by 1979.

Saco to Renovate Memorial Field With Federal Grant
The city of Saco will redo Memorial Field using a federal grant of 11,000 with 5,500 from the state and 5,500 from the city. Work includes a new drainage system costing at least 10,000, plus construction of baseball and softball facilities and an all purpose field. Expected completion spans into 1974 with drainage first and turfing in spring. Recreation Director Robert Moody noted earlier grant applications and cited field playability issues due to rain and mud.
