Plans Under Way For Area Vocational School In Biddeford
Plans for an area vocational school in York County are being prepared under Director Melvin Gay and planning coordinator Joseph A. Plamondon. The group cites strong local support and aims to submit a proposal to the State Board of Education for a $500,000 state share, with the rest from Biddeford. A state official notes the state would fund three fourths of facilities and equipment upon construction completion. An active local committee will help shape needs and curriculum.

Highway Plan Stalled in Maine House Debate
Part of a 101 million highway program for 1967 to 1969 moved forward briefly but was halted again in the Maine House. The bill funds the Highway Commission for two years and links to a 16.8 million bond issue. A contentious point is a 22 million office building in Augusta postponed after voters rejected a bond for the same purpose. Later, Republicans agreed on an office type ballot for state elections aiming to modernize voting. Gov Curtis is expected to veto the bill removing straight ticket voting.
