Description
From the Pittsfield Historical Society:
In those five years there were other items of lesser interest but worthy of mention. One of the first of the alphabetical administrations created by the new Democrat regime was the Civil Works Administration — the CWA. Mr. John McDonough was the state administrator, and he appointed Ray Badger local administrator. Mr. Badger had many projects to supervise, including the repair of the library roof, the renovation of the interior of the town farm, building cemetery lanes, repairing rural roads, and pruning shade trees. …
Another construction project of importance to Pittsfield was the concrete highway through town. Included in this road work were the two concrete bridges across the Sebasticook on North Main Street.
