Financial Troubles of Woburn Water Works
The new administration of Woburn, Mass., has been met by a serious problem in the finances of the water department, judging by the utterances of Superteindent of Public Works Macksey and Mayor Gray at a City Council meeting, when they told the aldermen that the water department faced a deficit of $20,000 during the coming year. Mayor Gray and Superintendent Macksey, in urging the repeal of the order reducing the charges for metered water services from $14 to $7, declared that they sought to save the department from a serious crisis which would result in a higher tax rate and complete abandonment of the water main extensions.
