Bennington Village Bylaw On Street Work May Be Tabled
Village trustees last night approved an order barring digging on village streets from November 1 to April 1 but may table it after Village Attorney Reuben Levin warned the move illegally tries to modify a bylaw. The measure, urged by Trustee Joseph A. Pello Jr. to curb disruptions to highways, could block new sewer and water connections to trailer parks until spring. Levin argued the bylaw requires voter approval to change and should be handled individually. He indicated assurances have been received that the order will not take effect immediately.
