Cumberland Chamber of Commerce dissolves Municipal Service Bureau contract
Louis D. Sampson of New York, head of Municipal Service Bureau, arrives in Cumberland to cancel the three year supervision contract with the Cumberland Chamber of Commerce. The bureau will cease funding and oversight, with 86 percent of membership fees no longer paid to the bureau, improving the chamber’s finances. Sampson offers future advisory help if needed. A signed release letter explains confidence in the current board and urges end of non resident expert services. Several petition signers withdraw their names amid confusion over signing.
