Battle over sinking fund sparks village debate
Village trustees plan a March 20 floor meeting on the $60,000 water sinking fund. They favor using the money to cut debt in the 1967 general fund, while water commissioners want to fund improvements to the water system. Trustee Pello opposes using the fund and insists improvements be town financed.

Fair Housing Bill Attacked At Hearing In Vermont
Vermont Senate Judiciary Committee hears opposition to a House backed fair housing bill led by the Vermont Association of Realtor Boards. Burlington realtor John Ready urged calm after a violent clash, while opponents called the measure unconstitutional and some clergy supporters untrue to congregations. Rep Orestes Valsangiacomo urged amendments to block busting and avoid creating turban Harlems in Vermont. The bill bans housing discrimination in private sale or rental, with two family dwellings and lodgings under four rooms excluded.
