Rutland tax hike eyed to fund public works
The Rutland board of aldermen raised the assessment from 1.70 to 1.80 per 100, arguing the higher rate is necessary to keep pace with public improvements. They contend 100 cents value per dollar spent justifies higher taxes for better streets schools and services. The Rutland News notes the sentiment that the rate itself isn’t the issue but perceived value for money.

Young Man in Trouble Over Milk Bottle Robbery
A Porto Rican youth named Arthur Prada was jailed in Burlington for stealing money from milk bottles on streets near Commons Hall and Neil's store. Police nabbed him as he bent to take change, and he confessed to three days of pilfering. Prada claimed student status and lack of funds, while officials checked with Goddard Seminary. He appeared shabbily dressed, carrying various papers and a candy firm contract. He had no confirmed ties to Barre, and transportation home was suggested if funds were lacking.
