Chelmsford Notes Include Road Roller and Services
In Chelmsford dog owners risk penalties after April 30 for failing to renew protection for Old Rose. The town buys a Champion road roller to ease travel disruption from the gutter-to-road debris. Sunday services feature Unitarian, Central Congregational, and Baptist churches with programs, plus a large charity concert in town hall for a church debt. The Unitarian festival included a strawberry party and a music readings program, with many residents in attendance and volunteers helping at refreshment tables. A second Congregational church debt benefit in the town hall drew hundreds through a two-scene cantata and a fairy-themed performance with a large child chorus, featuring Katherine Sheldon as the Fairy Queen and music by the Lowell Ladies' Symphony Orchestra.
