Carter Urges Sunday Racing and Sales Tax Plan at Pownal Meeting
Vermont faces a fiscal crisis says Rep. Harvey Carter R 32 of Pownal urging a Sunday racing vote and support for a 45 percent of federal income tax level sales tax. He cites $20 million needed beyond current taxes and notes Sunday racing generated $800000 in state revenue last year. The discussion covers trailer ordinance flaws and town zoning, plus budget items and school safety concerns as residents approve town reports and prepare votes on property purchases and ambulance replacement.

North Shire Votes Extra Junior High Courses Against Board
Manchester voters at Town Meeting rejected the school board’s budget plan and kept a $16,000 home economics and industrial arts program for Manchester Elementary School. Directors Hayes and Stone opposed the Courses, while residents urged expansion. The vote changed the tax picture slightly, with a revised state aid estimate and a mixed 1969 70 budget showing reduced tax need. The meeting also approved selling the Rescue Squad building, a trailer park health ordinance, tax due dates, and several community grants.
