Village rules bar sales by employees without orders
Village fathers vote to forbid merchants selling articles to village employees in the name of the village without an official sale order. Employees and trustees face liability for improper purchases. The measure aims to standardize village commerce and prevent double buying across businesses. The Bennington Battle Monument Association held its annual meeting with John Spargo presiding. Reports showed rising interest in the Historical Museum and growing visitor numbers. 25 years ago notes recount good sportsmanship praise, flood repairs on Route 7, and budget plans for education funding and tax changes.
