Putnam Deed of Gift Court Test Monday At Bennington
A Chancery court in Bennington at 9:30 a.m. Monday will hear a suit by 10 of Bennington county's 16 towns against Putnam Memorial Hospital. The case challenges the hospital's Henry W. Putnam Deed of Gift which promises indigent care "free of charge" under hospital rules. Courts faced rising town payments to cover county indigents, with rates growing from 50 to 75 percent, then to 100 percent of ward rates after 1959.

1963 Boom Year for Bennington Construction Sees 64 Outlook
The 1963 building surge in Bennington points to a strong 1964, with plans for Paradise Motor Inn expansion, a 50 unit nursing home, a new A and P center on North Street, a post office at about 180000 dollars, garden apartments on West Main Street, and other large projects. If plans materialize, village tax relief may follow. The boom marks a shift from years of flat Grand List values due to nonreplacements after fires and religious or school use.
