- Description
- Again for the fifth time in five consecutive years, despite most adverse conditions brought about the the floods of last spring which wrought havoc with Bangor's bridges, roads, sewers, sidewalks and the Water Works Dam, the City of Bangor not only lived within its budget and finished its fiscal year ending December 31, 1936, with an unexpended balance in its appropriation account, but also was able to conserve $62,355 to the city's Surplus Account, as against $64,455 in 1935. In other words, during each of the past five years, the city spent less money than was appropriated...On March 12th, the Fire Department received an emergency call in the late afternoon, to rescue people by boats, etc., in the Broadway Park and Center Street district, from flooded houses caused by the Meadow Brook Bog breaking loose, flowing over the section of the city, and covering the territory for several hours with many feet of water.
