Vermont House weighs Rutland Railway study commission
A House Banking and Corporation Committee bill would consolidate two Rutland Railway study proposals into a single commission. Rep. Daulton Mann revised the measures and sent them to Appropriations, seeking a $5,000 appropriation to study the line and report to the 1963 General Assembly. The bill derives from Rep. John Masterton’s earlier efforts. A separate AP item notes 82 Mormons began an eastern pilgrimage from Salt Lake City and Los Angeles visiting Joseph Smith’s birthplace in Vermont with planned stops in Cleveland Peoria and Omaha and a marble shaft memorial in South Royalton.
