It looks like city water users can expect a good-sized increase in their water bills next time around. The city council Wednesday night voted 5-4 to give second passage to the controversial water rate ordinance. The rate ordinance is expected to raise the average home water bill by 200 to 250 percent. The money is needed to pay for the construction of a $5.6 million federally mandated water treatment system and associated water system improvements.

NEWPORT

The Newport Board of Selectmen rejected two bids received for the purchase of the Reed House, a historic building adjacent to police headquarters. Sealed bids were received from Attorney Michael Feeney for $6,128 and the law firm of Elliott and Jasper for $2,111. Selectman Arnold Campbell made a motion that the bids be rejected, saying they would not even cover the cost of the land. He added the property should be saved for future expansion of police headquarters.

The slanting and old wobbly footbridge behind the former Public Service Company garage on West Street has been closed because it is a safety hazard, according to Newport Town Manager James E. Hannigan. He said it may be removed altogether but he wants to hear how the public feels about it. Mr. Hannigan said a few persons, mostly children, use the bridge, and it is a dangerous play area.

A half-million dollar state and Federal project to rebuild the Elm Street bridge in Newport will be delayed for several years, raising the cost by thousands of dollars and creating the possibility that the project may be scrapped, according to Harland E. Roberts, assistant chief engineer for the New Hampshire Public Works and Highways Department. The bridge is heavily traveled; it is on the only direct route between Newport and Claremont. Even though the bridge is “very deficient,” Mr. Roberts said, it cannot be replace until the Federal and state historic preservation offices are satisfied that the project will not interfere with either the Jasinski building at the corner of Main and Elm streets or the Foresters of America building, which is halfway between the Jasinski building and the bridge.

Roland H. Taylor Jr., Newport, has been hired by Newport selectmen as town accounting supervisor and deputy tax collector. The Board created the new job after the auditing firm of Plodzik and Sanderson, Concord, warned that the town must hire an accountant if it wishes to avoid overspending its budget. The Auditors recommended a full-time accountant, but selectmen said the job of deputy tax collector and a town accountant are so closely related that they must be done together.

Frank was selected for the position from a total field of about 100 candidates. Board members and a special committee comprised of citizens as well as those in the education field, interviewed four candidates for the position this week.

CHARLESTOWN

Public opinion as well as personal philosophy were factors in Charlestown Police Chief Frederick Domini’s decision to resign as chief to run for the legislature. Domini checked with the attorney general’s office and looked over state statutes himself to see if any laws prevented him from running for political office. There was nothing on the books and the attorney general’s office said there was no conflict of interest but Domini said “a lot of townspeople wouldn’t like it. You can’t split yourself in two, you’d end up shirking parts of one job or the other.”
