Biddeford subdivision gets conditional final approval

Ownership of the unpaved frontage and trolley museum rights remain uncertain. The board also outlined steps for Ray Wakefield’s Waco Acres approval and reviewed a five lot Oak Ridge Road plan while Letellier gifts and starts building on one Letellier lot.

State pays clerk of courts, Berry may keep post

Pauline Berry will not be elected again as clerk of courts as the state begins funding the office. The change, effective July 1 1976, shifts appointment to the Chief Justice Armand A. Dufresne and moves the office from county to state control. Berry, once Biddeford city clerk, was elected to the post in 1972. The county saved about 30 000 dollars while losing collection of fines, which will go to the State.
