Pownal Considers Toll Free Calls and Rate Change
Pownal Taxpayers Association leader Harry Johnson says talks with New England Telephone on moving Pownal from Group 4 to Group 6 could allow toll free calls to Williamstown North Adams and Bennington. The switch would raise monthly party line rates from 40 to 90 cents, with toll free service offsetting the higher charge. Construction costs are projected at 50 000 to 100 000 dollars and implementation could not occur before October 1971. A residents survey will gauge attitudes this month. Association manager Alfred J Spinner will speak at the April 28 meeting. Johnson noted turnout was about 100 for a previous low-cost school construction hearing.
