Saco Mayor Seeks Bond Action for Elm Tree Cleanup
Saco Mayor Armand J. Mercier voiced disappointment at a special council session that a bond issue to remove dead and dying elm trees cannot be floated under current city charter. He planned to seek a measure to fund disposal of hazards, but the proposal requires a project with life like a building or street. Local officials and business leaders are coordinating support with Gov Curtis and a list of residents and firms including Land Mfg Co and Garland Mfg Co, while outlining planting needs such as guy wires, hose, stakes, loam, and manure.
