Nixon's economic plan eyed to push stock market past 1000
UPI reports Wall Street analysts, led by veteran Loudien Hooper, see Nixon's stimulus effort as helping the securities market more than business. Despite mixed economic signs, optimism persists for the Dow to reach 1000 by year end, though near term declines of 5 to 7 percent are possible. Alan Shaw cautions a defensive stance amid weaker than hoped indicators and possible disappointing first quarter earnings.

Seiverson Reports Fruitful Railroad Meeting in Hoosick Falls
Hoosick Falls mayor Richard A. Severson described a very fruitful meeting with Boston and Maine Railroad officials in Boston. Attending were village attorney William Johnston and George E. Dougherty, with talks centering on a 20 year pipeline across the Clay Hill bridge and right of way, avoiding costly condemnation. The plan envisions buying the abandoned rail line along the east bound lane to protect the pumping station from erosion and to develop recreation, housing, and potential resale to adjacent property owners. The mayor welcomed offers for future consideration and discussed using part of the back taxes as a possible purchase factor.
