Selectmen Set $377,450 For 1967 Town Budget
Bennington selectmen briefly scanned a proposed 1967 town budget of 377,450, about 15,000 higher than 1966’s 363,000 but below actual 1966 spending of 392,207. The highway fund shifts under a new state law cut the tax rate by half while preserving roughly the same revenue, with $50,000 raised for the highway fund from a 50 cent rate. Also, Walloomsac Road was renamed from West Road at Mrs. R. B. Leake’s request, and YMCA pool officials asked for 8,990 in operating costs with 9,000 set aside in the general fund. The board approved upgrades to facilities, rejected a new dump truck, budgeted 1,200 for engine work, and allotted 200 to improve Bennington Airport lounge and divide the rest room into separate men's and women's facilities.
