Law Enforcement Study Targets Communication
A 1973 study by SMAPC and MLEPA assesses how Southern Maine towns enforce laws, faulting state legislators for vague or unenforceable statutes and local officials for weak enforcement. It urges clearer duties, better funding, improved communication between DEP, DHW, and locals, regional cooperation, and a statewide building code to be locally enforced.

Rhode Island’s death penalty debate echoed in 1970s case
Robert Cline, a Providence man, was found guilty of robbery and first degree murder in the 1974 slaying of Bristol fish peddler Pirri under a 1973 law mandating death by lethal gas. Rhode Island had no executioner or death row, awaiting a U.S. Supreme Court ruling before implementing any sentence. The article ties this to the state’s long abolition history dating to 1845, when John Gordon was hanged for murder, ending capital punishment in Rhode Island.
