Town Council abolishes recreation board to seize beach control
After a prolonged dispute the Town Council voted to dissolve the 1924 recreation board to gain control of the community beach. The move follows criticism of the board’s handling of beach projects and would lead to a town planned program with WPA support totaling $3746, with federal funds covering $2968 and local sponsors $778. An advisory committee was urged to shape the town’s recreational plan.
