Hoff Backs Low Cost Power Plan At Regional Meet
Gov Philip Hoff urged 30 area business and legislative leaders to back a bill creating a non profit corporation to negotiate Canadian power for New England. He said a Labrador project could deliver about 2 million kilowatts by 1971 at 4.5 mills per kilowatt, cheaper than existing or anticipated options. The plan hinges on bond issues, Quebec Hydro contracts, and utility commitments, with opposition from Central Vermont Public Service Corp. and questions about market viability.

Bennington Town Meeting Endorses Grand List Publication
Voters vote to publish the 1966 Grand List before grievance proceedings begin, arguing it helps taxpayers compare assessments. Town officials plan to proceed with reappraisal results, while listers defer until after appeals. Additional action includes town report approval, officer compensation, state aid for highways, lease for the Girls Club building, and a $45,000 airport project among other items. About 200 voters attended as polls opened and closed at 7 p.m. with separate sites for North Bennington and other voters.
