Council Studies Audit Suggestions
Town Council reviewed a State Bureau of Audits report on town finances, considering validating over expenditures at the financial town meeting and transferring unexpended balances to the general fund. The audit advised closer scrutiny of vouchers and noted possible double payments and an excessive Dec 31 1955 tax rate. It urged action to align rates with law and to locate effective contracts for the dump and school land leases. The safety fix at the Fales Road crossing was approved via a Stop and Protect rule from the railroad. Bayside Shores Improvement Association sent appreciation for council endorsements of public works projects and road repairs.

Meeting Notes Show Little Change In Town Council Cast
Meeting highlights reveal a steady lineup aside from Mr Berretto's first gathering. Voters clashed with paper ballots, some miscast or mishandled ballots, while others welcomed the social aspect of the process. Council actions included re zoning Gooding Avenue and opposition to re election of two harbor panel members. The health survey looms with concerns on the sewage plant and budget committee expectations.
