Mt Anthony teachers delay contracts amid strike risk
Mt Anthony Union High School faces a possible September strike as more than 50 teachers vote 44 to 8 to wait for all staff to return before signing contracts for 1971 72. A board action based on a fact finding panel raised dissatisfaction over terms including a $100 across the board raise and a jump from 6500 to 6900, with further merit and education provisions pending.

Vermont House panel tours Green Mountain track in Pownal
The House Ways and Means Committee observed Green Mountain racetrack operations in Pownal as part of discussions on a potential excess profits tax. Rep. Peter Giuliani said the tax, to be proposed for the 1972 legislature, would tax track profits before federal taxes, aiming to bolster state revenues for education funding. Bartimo praised the track’s integrity and urged continued regulation.

E W study favors southern east west highway route
A New England Regional Commission report recommends using and upgrading existing roads rather than a new link, and if built a southern corridor through Bennington and Windham Counties would yield the greatest regional economic gains. It notes 3000 Vermont jobs by 1990 with southern routing, urges a feeder-route study, and aligns with Gov. Davis who backs the concept.

BSD reaches addition to Molly Stark School
Bennington School District heard a progress report on a proposed special education wing at Molly Stark School. Architect Harvey Hathaway outlined design changes, noting a 1000 square foot reduction in the auxiliary room, saving about 28 000 to 29 000 in costs. Nine fire doors are required. The room could be partitioned with movable walls to create flexible spaces. State 75 percent matching funds cover the majority of the 428 612 project, with remaining costs borne by state aid. The district expects state help with interest and principal payments. The board plans to review cost estimates at the next meeting and address transportation cost disputes.

Fish and Game Commissioner Edward J. Kehoe said restocking of the Walloomsac River will begin this week if ecological tests prove negative. He estimates replacement costs at about 4000 dollars for thousands of fish killed last week. Union Carbide admitted a 17 gallon ammonia spill but won’t say if it caused the kill. Neil S. Moss plans charges based on a nearly complete Water Resources report.
