Housing Education Board Weighs More Flexible Planning
In Montpelier the state Education Board discussed a proposal to grant local districts more leeway in planning new school facilities, with no action taken. Vermont towns show housing apathy or opposition to tax increases, while a uniform regional tax is urged. Gov. Davis notes rising costs limit homeownership for families under 10,000 dollars income and hints at subsidized housing. The Vermont Housing Authority plans to lease units and later aid construction. Village police logged two minor accidents at Depot and River streets involving a Burlington resident, a Booth Terrace resident, and a Ruskin’s Taxi driver, with modest damage.
