Arlington zoning plan targets Route 7 commercial districts
The Arlington proposal places all commercial and industrial zones within the Arlington Fire and Light District. Route 7 commercial areas include Valle's Store to Arlington Industries and Hess's Garage to Carvelle stand on the east, and Taylor Rental to Marsh Coin Laundry and Lonergan and Thomas Insurance Co on the west. Route 7 and Route 313 intersection becomes residential to protect nearby church and homes. North of the village, one acre residential zoning follows rapid trailer development. Signs must follow the Arlington sign ordinance, with a 3 by 5 foot limit, a point noted as frequently violated. The 1955 sign rule is part of the plan but may be revised later.

Windsor guards avoid charges at prison beating probe
Windsor County State's Attorney Paw Huson announced he will not prosecute guards at Windsor State Prison over a June 3 incident. An extensive investigation found guards used reasonable force to subdue inmates Richard Cronin and Wayne Carlson after they were found in the arts and crafts shop, escaping from cells. Cronin was moved to segregation and resisted, leading to confrontations with guards. Carlson arrived during the struggle and attempted to strike Cronin. The report notes blood damage stemmed from Cronin’s earlier wounds, and Carlson was restrained and isolated without indication of being struck after subduing.

Political kickback charges involve both parties
Washington reports kickback allegations tie Jeb Magruder to a plan by Walter L. Scott to stage an Expo of the American Economy at the 1972 conventions. Scott says he proposed selling 360 booths for 5 000 each to fund a bipartisan exhibit, with $1.8 million in revenues and $400 000 to Scott, claims that would circumvent campaign finance rules. He says both parties were approached, and Magruder cited eavesdropping at the Watergate hearings as part of probe notes.
