Five Towns Seek Shared Regional Landfill
A regional sanitary landfill in Sunderland appears certain to serve Arlington, Sandgate, Sunderland, Manchester and Dorset after the District Environmental Commission approved an Act 250 permit for landfill owner Martin J.

Cummings, who owns 65 acres on River Road including the old Sunderland dump, has been charging Arlington, Sandgate and Sunderland $20 000 annually and was surprised to learn 26 acres lie in Manchester.

Immunity for Nixon unlikely as Congress debates case
Congress shows little appetite to grant Nixon immunity from criminal prosecution if he resigns.
