Padlock raids target four Main Street speakeasies in 1932
Twenty years ago authorities closed four alleged Main Street speakeasies after federal agents staged two raids that recovered large quantities of wet goods and led to two arrests. A cold snap and winds added misery as a fire alarm drew responders to Frank Raymond's East Smith Street residence. Skating drew crowds to Whiteley Pond despite the cold. One new chicken pox case was reported, with nine total contagious cases under quarantine including whooping cough and pneumonia. City officials propose an additional half mill tax reduction for 1933.
