From the Biddeford Daily Journal: “A proposition put forward a week or so ago that the commission in charge of the manufacturers league be increased to five members instead of three, looks good to those in charge and it is possible that some action will be taken at the meeting of the commission and the managers which is to be held tonight at 7:30 o’clock, when the vacancy caused by the resignation of Ralph H. Burbank will also be filled.”
