Bennington Trustees Close Out 1963 Fiscal Year
At a special meeting on Wednesday, Bennington Village Trustees closed the 1963 fiscal year. They authorized paying bills received by Wednesday and charged remaining bills to the next year's budget starting January 1. The budget is approved at March Village Meeting, leaving three months without a formal budget. The board weighed a $4 500 bid from Johnson Oil Co for a boiler in the village garage and will decide after assessing boiler needs, noting a $200 savings if a condensation pump is not used. They also earmarked $1 500 for a new police cruiser and planned bids after specifications. They discussed possibly buying a four wheel drive vehicle for highway next year.
