Saco Planning Board Stymied by Leader Absence and Poor Communication
Saco planners rejected the chairmanship due to lack of communication among city departments and time demands. Melvin Gay cited insufficient coordination with the zoning board and council, noting he and two others would not take the post. Boucouvalas resigned after December 1973, remaining briefly as acting chair. The board planned a meeting with City Administrator John Dexter to improve interdepartmental communication.

The City of Saco refused six Hillview Heights building and plumbing permits for Leroy Waycott after a State Health and Welfare review. An on site inspection by Arthur Fournier considered percolation tests showing the water table depth, prompting a recommendation to withhold inground sewage disposal system permits unless the 12 inch clearance is met.

Eight-Story Fall Ends Ironworker’s Long Recovery
William Lambert, 34, an ironworker from Biddeford, recaps surviving an eight story fall at an Concord New Hampshire elderly housing project. A massive 11 ton concrete slab broke its supports and collapsed through floors seven to one, trapping Lambert waist-deep in rubble until firefighters and crew freed him. Lambert, who cannot return to ironworking, spent months in hospital and rehab but now recalls the incident with practical calm and reveals he would return to the craft if possible.
