Economy becomes city motto as Willow street building chosen
City fathers abandon a fire hall and two story municipal office on First street. They buy Ruth Sherburne’s Willow street building for 2000 dollars, replacing a planned 3500 to 6600 dollar project. The deal saves about 3000 dollars and provides space for jail, clerk and magistrate offices, and a fire chief’s quarters.
