The Acton Free Press Wed July Pagr Population growing Someone whos in a good position to guess thinks Actons population must be up to Another thinks 7000 And new people are still moving in regularly to Bovis and Kmgham Hill subdivi Again it poses the big problem of what wanted for Acton Last weeks paper headlined a decision to turn down a subdivision that would have given us over more people The
