Winchester City Council seeks charter change on bonds
The Winchester city council in a special session approved resolutions asking the legislature to amend the city charter. One provision would align with state law to require voter approval for future bond issues, replacing legislative approval, while smaller borrowings up to 50 000 remain exempt. A second resolution seeks validation of a 200 000 water and sewer bond issue to be retired serially. The council also involves a plan with Baltimore engineers to supervise a new 3 000 000 gallon reservoir and uses city labor to cut costs. A proposal to shift school board appointments from the judge to the common council drew no action pending a forthcoming report from the school committee.
