Carter pays Nashua school rent after town meeting
In Nashua New Hampshire the White House paid 1426.25 to Nashua High School for using the building during President Carter's March town meeting with students. Mayor Maurice Abel notes the bill applies to all users including the president. Cincinnati air officials urge motorists to avoid downtown during the holiday weekend to keep pollution below unhealthy levels. The city’s air control division cites last summer's 59 unhealthy readings as context. The Cincinnati public school system plans a 6 million loan from four banks to cover payroll until tax revenues arrive in June and July, with clerk treasurer Carl Heimerdinger warning of a broader funding shortfall and a potential one month school closing next November.
