The report also notes patent news from Williams town and a cross country ski team record in North Adams.

Albany Tenants Plan Rent Strike Over Poor Conditions
In Albany, tenants of a low income housing project consider withholding rent to form a fund until issues like filthy elevators, rats and roaches, unskilled maintenance, improper incinerator ventilation, guard abuse, and disrespect are corrected. The plan emerged after a meeting between the John Boyd Thacher Tenants Association and the Albany Legal Aid Society. In Schenectady, city and county managers discuss tax limits and potential service cuts for 1970, while Albany Assembly Speaker Duryea hopes for more state funds to restore school aid and welfare programs amid mixed expectations.
