Bennington Selectmen Back Open Bidding for Pool Project
Bennington town leaders rejected a CRCG plan to immediately complete the unfinished Community Center pool and instead moved to open bidding by contractors. The decision could raise costs above 200000, as estimates suggest bids may exceed that amount. CRCG head Dr. Richard Sleeman argued a local contractor could finish under 200000, but officials chose competitive bidding to preserve public process and quality. Advertising for bids will begin soon, with Wright and Morrissey Inc. among firms expected to bid. Continuous changes to materials may be allowed under the winning bid to reduce price.

Pessimism on Rutland Bennington Beltlines Showcased
Rutland Vermont highway officials doubt funds will meet the 1956 seven year plan to beltlines around Bennington and Rutland. Highway Commissioner John T Gray told the Rutland Regional Highway Council the 1973 legislature will review the system and a new plan for 1977 83 will be drafted. He said money problems and other priorities will limit progress though construction remains the aim. Gray and Highway Board chair H James Wallace opposed Rep Francis Esposito s west side interstate idea and noted surveys showing broad resistance to Routes 1 and 107 improvements tied to the beltline project. Council officers for next year were named Robert B Condon and Thomas W Hall Jr with David Stagg elected president.
