They will invite a Bureau of Taxation official to explain the rationale amid protest from Grace Howard and Geraldine Serreze who urge a letter campaign to Sen. Katz to scuttle or revise SD 1994.

Saco Council Backed Park Plan and Road Aid Ahead
The council approved Ferry Beach State Park development at no city cost, sought 7500 from a service club for a bicycle path, requested Bay View Road state aid, and dropped federal aid on Route 9 beyond Bay View Road. It set April 15 for budget hearings, authorized fire station plans, debated sewer line extension to Webber Hospital, and directed Thornton Academy contract talks with lunch program revival study. Mayor Braley faced party nominations to the planning board, opposing developers Scontras and Boutet with a one-nominee limit.
