City to seek bus service by purchasing transit line
Winchester eyes a 4 p.m. special council meeting tomorrow to decide on buying Winchester City Transit Lines from Thomas L. Woodward who will end operations Saturday. The city may run buses as a public service to break even, while a private bidder is unlikely. Woodward claims losses exceed 25 thousand dollars. The session also considers a water project contract and a 68,800 government loan for planning.
