Town Meeting Defeats WPA Funds Amid Debates
At a special town meeting on Monday night the Advisory Committee recommendation against extra WPA funds prevailed as 72 voting against and 66 for on the first count, with a second tally showing 51 in favor and 72 against. The article required a two thirds vote, so passage was unlikely. Voters also approved $6,000 for Public Welfare and $4,000 for Old Age Assistance, while a planning article moved to the next annual meeting. A quorum delay and heated exchanges over WPA employment practices colored the session, which adjourned around 9:30 p.m.
