Vermont Senate reapportionment plan filed with high court
The Vermont apportionment board filed a reapportionment plan with the Vermont Supreme Court to redraw the 30 member Senate after a court ruling struck down the 1972 plan. The proposal shifts multiple county lines, adds a seventh senator for Chittenden Grand Isle, and aims for roughly 14,800 residents per senator, with dissenting members opposing several county shifts.

Hearing on Bennington connector lanes set for Aug. 1
Federal Judge James K. Oakes will hold a hearing in Burlington on August 1 at 1 30 p m to resolve disputes between the state Highway Commission and conservationists over whether the Bennington connector to Route 7 should be two or four lanes. The injunction limits construction to three lanes now with a four lane right of way possible later, while the Highway Department says four lanes are being built. Local officials say public plans have been available for months and criticize the challenge as confusing.

British labor calls one day strike over dockers jailing
The Trade Union Congress representing 10 million workers approved a one day national strike for Monday to protest the jailing of five longshoremen for contempt. Norman Turner seeks early release to avert the action as sympathy strikes disable much of London’s transport and Heathrow flights.

Park owner Ordway cites a $6000 drainage field and notes 44 trailers with room for 15 to 20 more.
