Surprises At City Council Meeting
The City Council faced more business than usual on Tuesday night as talks extended before adjournment. A $48 000 addition to the 1922 tax levy for a municipal building program was approved, with plans for a new fire and police station and authorization to borrow an extra $1 000 000 in anticipation of tax collections. An extra $40 000 was set for the soldiers aid department, and a hearing by the Volunteers of ’32 on the new Rindge School drew attention with speaker Thomas Lonergan pressing for contract details and bidding concerns.
