Portsmouth Eyes New High School Complex
A 58 page study by John E. Nichols warns Portsmouth will exceed current capacity as enrollments rise. The board backs buying 30 acres at Jenkins field for a new high school and possible athletic facilities, plus 20 acres near Echo Woodbury for a second high school and 10 acres for an elementary school. Alternative plans include building on Jenkins field first and using existing sites for overflow. The city could finance a two million dollar project over 20 years with about a four dollar annual tax increase.

Excess Profits Row Delays Senate Tax Bill Passage
A fierce Senate battle over an excess profits levy delays a 4.508 billion tax bill. Senator George D-Ga warned adding the levy could trigger hearings lasting four months, hindering this year’s tax action. Connally and O’Mahoney push an 85 percent levy on profits above normal, claiming profits must be curbed to control prices and wages. The CIO and Americans for Democratic Action denounce the bill as a profiteers’ paradise and demand the levy.

South Berwick Keeps Maine's Second Lowest Tax Rate
South Berwick announced a 1950 tax rate of 36 per thousand, down from 77 in 1949, making it the state's second lowest alongside Ellsworth. Town Manager Robert B Weiss cited a thorough revaluation lifting assessed value from 1.208 million to 2.86 million, with some properties rising to 2,000. Despite lower rates, average taxpayers face about 16 percent more due to higher town appropriations and a 101 raise in local appropriations.
