Allagash region control plan proposed by NRC
The National Resources Council proposes a half mile wilderness strip in Allagash to preserve unspoiled character while allowing lumbering elsewhere under state ownership with leases back to current owners. Hunting and fishing would be allowed in both areas. The plan favors federal recreation area status to avoid flooding but risks reduced state control and would incur little cost.

Legality Of Pay For City Officials Doubted
A Democratic nominee for Biddeford's State Legislature argues it is reasonably probable that Biddeford mayor and council members were paid illegally this year due to alleged failures to follow special election directives. Robert C. Cartier says oversights affected the December 18 vote on raising the mayor’s salary to 3000 and council pay to 240 annually, and he notes the act returned to voters for approval. Authorities had no comment as Cartier reaffirmed his position.
