Eight Towns To Bring Suit On Putnam Will
Representatives from eight Bennington County towns authorized attorney Henry F. Black to file chancery court action seeking clarification of the Henry W. Putnam deed of gift. The suit will ask the court to decide if towns or Putnam Memorial Hospital must provide medical care for the indigent under the will’s terms. The matter stems from charges the towns have paid the hospital for indigent care since 1961 and the deed's phrase that the country’s destitute are admitted free of charge.
