School budget trims capital plans amid zero growth pupil outlook
Superintendent Edward P Travers presents a 1975-76 capital budget request of 305 500 far below prior years. He cites zero pupil growth and weak economy, proposing renovations and limited new work including four classrooms at Rockwell and a phased district wide modernization starting with Valley School, plus space needs across physical education art and science facilities. A special meeting precedes the Jan 15 board session to set action.

The idea addresses declining enrollments and rising costs and follows a September suggestion from Warren Superintendent Wilfred Marchand.

Energy crisis halts town Christmas display on Hope Street
Public Works Director Arthur Langelo cites energy shortages and prior planning gaps as the reason for no illumination along Hope Street and the town common this year. Despite a $1500 appropriation, decorations were not planned or purchased due to timing and supply constraints. A tree at Burnside has 200 bulbs with 75 stolen, plus a Santa and nativity on town grounds remain, while aging wires and lack of poles hinder reuse. Langelo plans $500 for new wiring and ornaments after holidays or will buy next fall. He suggests a potential compromise delaying lights until Christmas week.
