Winebaum Again Raps Ordinance on Winter Parking
City Council held a public hearing on a winter night parking ban with fewer than 15 attendees. Ordinances passed include banning parking on Dunkins Avenue from Pleasant to Parrott and one way on Woodbury Avenue from Cottage to Bartlett. Councilman Winebaum opposed the full citywide ban arguing parking spaces are scarce and the measure is unfair to newcomers. Supporters cited public safety and snow clearance, while others noted winter traffic troubles lie outside the business district and urged passage.

Council to Discuss Raising of Debt Limit in Portsmouth
Portsmouth city leaders prepare a resolution to seek state permission to increase bonded indebtedness by 2.59 million to fund a planned high school. With an estimated project cost of 3 million, the plan hinges on bonds unless federal aid arrives, as the present debt limit would be exceeded by even a 2.5 million loan. The council set a meeting for next Monday to discuss passage, while also approving a jail and police headquarters furniture contract and other routine items.
