The saltpile in Portsmouth will stay - at least until next March. The threat of a lawsuit has forced the Pease Development Authority to extend its contract with International Salt Company. The P-D-A had wanted the salt moved by the middle of June but Thursday it waived a 30-day limit on the storage of imported goods at the state pier. International Salt accused the Authority of protecting a competing company, Granite State Minerals. |

msrho -- Today is the day Berlin and Gorham have been waiting months for -- the signing of documents completing the sale of the pulp and paper mills in their communities. Fraser Papers will sign the papers completing the purchase at a Statehouse ceremony at 10:30 a-m. Officials from the two communities, Governor Jeanne Shaheen, mill workers and other state officials will join the celebration. Fraser won the bidding for the mills after the old owner, American Tissue, declared bankruptcy. The mills were closed last year, throwing about 850 people out of work. The closure also devastated the economy of the area, which relied heavily on the mills. |
