Decade of Change in Saline Marks 60s Shifts
The Saline community reflects on the 1960s as a period of rapid change from a quiet town to an evolving city. Highlights include the Community Chest surpassing its goal in 1959, the formation and dissolution of development groups, a safety string of police car issues, charter revisions for a seven-member council, a spike in new housing and hospital growth, census adjustments, and the beginnings of modern social services and schooling reforms.
