Most recent canvas on the list was Election Night (donated by Joseph H. Hirshhorn), which bitter, Boston-bred Expressionist Jack Levine finished only last winter.

The town council turned down a plan for a general tax reassessment to provide revenue for urgently needed public improvements; all the improving underway is motivated by the familiar old law of supply and demand.
