He favors continuing Route One on Elm Street, urges lenient zoning, supports tax concessions to attract industry, defends parking meters with local business benefit, and calls for a careful, practical approach to sewers and air quality.
The article discusses Saco civic questions including school construction and overcrowding at Locke School, plans tied to new industrial development, and whether to retain or revamp parking meters. It weighs the area concept vs local control, zoning changes, and the need for a permanent road program funded by bonds and state aid.
