Bennington School Board Corrects Water Line Reimbursement Error
Prudential Committee members acknowledge a mistake in a letter to town selectmen asking reimbursement of about $20,000 for Molly Stark School water line. The 1960 warning article authorized repayment from the Village of Bennington Water Company, not the town. The board later amended the meeting to seek reimbursement from the Town of Bennington, but the error prompted selectmen to reject the request.
