Northeast Kingdom objects to possible loss of Senate seat
MONTPELIER UPI Senate Government Operations Committee planned testimony on a reapportionment plan cutting the northeast by one senate seat. Senators Arthur H. Jones and John H. Boylan of Essex County oppose shifting a seat to Chittenden County, suggesting Rutland or Addison counties as alternatives.
