The 1927 city council met last evening with Mayor Dale presiding to review bills and additions. Major Dale appointed an adjustment board: Charles F H Wallser H M Iddfield Frederick M Siso and Whavies ME. Dale will serve three years. The Unity Club petition for a working license in January was deferred to the incoming council. The New Hampshire Electric & So was allowed to erect sales on Parrot avenue. The city auditor’s bill totaled £5 002.37 and the printing bill for ordinances was approved. Councilman Donovan moved a rising vote of thanks to Mayor Dale and council members for cooperation and prudent finances. The mayor praised the past year’s work, noted improvements to the high school building, and said surplus funds prevented funding the New Castle bridge project which was deemed unwise to draw from cash reserve.
