Village Trustees Build Low-Cost Municipal Garage
North Bennington trustees completed a village garage for about the sale price of the old firehouse. They planned and supervised the project, using local labor to save 2500 to 3000 dollars, and funded the build from the old firehouse proceeds with no borrowing. The site off Mechanic Street includes two doors, a 36 by 40 foot structure, and land purchased from Stark Paper Co.
