Vermont drafts policy on Maine power lines
Vermont Environmental Conservation Agency will draft a policy position on electric power lines for the Dickey-Lincoln hydroelectric project in Maine. The plan envisions 345 kilovolt lines in Orange and Windsor counties with rights of way up to 170 feet wide. Environment Secretary Martin Johnson supports hydro power but worries about environmental impact. Act 250 does not apply to transmission lines, leaving only the Public Service Board with authority.

Senate Republicans and Assembly Democrats announced they failed to agree on constitutional amendments, making any compromise measure unlikely to become law before 1979. In Troy, Liberal party committeeman Nicholas Barbera seeks aid to solve discrepancies in signatures on a petition backing county clerk candidate John C Fleming, claiming several signatories deny signing the document.
