Judge weighs land plan test in Vermont case
Chief Superior Judge William Hill took under advisement a motion to dismiss a suit challenging the validity of the environmental board land use plan. The plan, signed by Gov. Thomas P. Salmon, lacks required maps and may not be law yet, making the challenge premature according to state officials. Plaintiffs Kenneth and Pearl Appleton and Delbert and Shirley Leete seek invalidation despite pending legislation. Hill said a ruling is unlikely while the plan remains nonbinding.

Tie-ins to existing pipes back-to-back with an existing bathroom minimize expense, while expanding near an old bath or above below is next best.
