Police Station Project Runs Short on Cash
Portsmouth faces budget strain as the police station renovation nears completion with $10,000 to $12,000 more needed. Auditor Wilfred E. Young warns funds are nearly exhausted after $64,742 of $65,000 set aside for jail improvements, with surplus dwindling from $130,000 to under $50,000. Alternatives include taking from the surplus or reallocating library funds, which would delay library work. Two sewer projects on Miller and Richards Avenues and Dennett Street also await funding with bids to be considered.
