Hogan Explains Details Of Listing Procedures
Bennington taxpayers heard a briefing on the 1966 Grand List reappraisals by listers led by Francis J. Hogan. The session, arranged by selectmen, addressed critics who argued the revaluations were flawed or inadequately justified and noted a potential town agent’s appeal to challenge the overall list. Hogan said schedules based on 1940 costs were outdated, requiring a 250 percent factor to align with current building costs, while acknowledging some properties retain old assessments.

Johnson Seeks Substitute For Wage Price Guidelines
Johnson seeks a better anti inflation tool while voluntary restraints stay in place. He denies scrapping the guideline approach and urges labor and management to remain restrained as he reassesses an effective formula. A warning hints at possible further measures if restraints fail. The wage and price rules cap worker gains at 3.2 percent annually and bar most price hikes except in extraordinary cases.

Breakthrough in Air Strike Move Toward Arbitration
Five airlines and the International Association of Machinists agreed to submit their 34 day old dispute to binding arbitration if union members approve voluntary submission. IAM President Roy Stemiller urged ratification, saying this proceeds under Railway Labor Act and could end most disruptions that grounded about 60 percent of U S air traffic. The move followed Senate hearings on a bill to end the strike with a split responsibility between Congress and the President.

Legislators Question Deer Hearings Missed Intent of Law
Three state representatives at the Arlington meeting on an antlerless deer hunt questioned if eight public hearings were held as intended by the legislature. Fish and Game Commissioner Kehoe said the hearings were not to decide if a hunt should occur, but to study regulations already approved. Rep Allen noted public hearings were included in the deer study bill, though not in the antlerless hunt section, with rules stemming from 1965.
