Hear Ye! Hear Ye!Malden July 4th Celebrations
Malden will kick off Independence Day with a series of exciting events at the Malden Public Library, 36 Salem Street on Friday, June 30th.
From 4 to 5 PM in the Converse Memorial Building, the Library will display the original and the newly digitized version of Malden's town records from the Revolutionary war period. Featured will be the May 27, 1776 document entitled "Instructions of the Inhabitants of Malden, Massachusetts to their Representatives in Congress" unanimously voted on by the townspeople of Malden to be delivered to the Second Continental Congress via their representative Ezra Sargeant. In the 1776 communication, the voting citizens of Malden renounce the Colony's ties to the Kingdom of Great Britain and set forth their wish to become an independent "American" republic. The document is credited as a precursor to the Declaration of Independence written in July of 1776 when the Continental Congress formally declared their independence from England. At 5 PM attendees will proceed to the front lawn where Local Historian and period actor Tom Coots will perform the Second Annual Reading of the "Town Instructions."
Ward July 4th celebrations will be posted to the City website as they are scheduled, to learn more click here.

Recent Increase in Air Traffic over Malden
Recently, the City of Malden has received a large volume of calls, complaints and questions from residents about the unacceptably low, loud and frequent airplane noise over Malden. After making inquiries to our State Legislative Delegation, we learned that a resurfacing project on one of Logan Airport's two international runways is currently underway. Due to this project, an alternate runway has international flights flying over Malden, Medford and Somerville. The project began in early May and will continue through the month of June and is expected to be completed (weather permitting) by the beginning of July. We have been in touch with MassPort, who is overseeing the project and they recommend that residents call them at 617-561-3333 as they are interested in hearing from residents directly.
