Mount Hope Farm to be divided by Williams College
Williams College proposes selective disposal of peripheral Mount Hope Farm land in South Williamstown to reduce annual deficits surpassing 100000 dollars. Aimed at preserving open land and scenic vistas, the plan includes selling 50 acres for housing, studying 25 more acres for light use, and reimagining the 850 acre main parcel for education, conference, agriculture, recreation, and housing. The report, to be reviewed by President Chandler and the trustees, calls for progress review in three years.

Albany Moves From Paper Ballots To Machines In Primaries
Albany County Board of Elections will switch to voting machines in primary elections marking the first use of machines in the county. Election Commissioner Charles W. Ryan says machines reduce burden on voters and aid election administration amid past paper ballot difficulties. A liberal reformer’s win in last year’s aldermanic race was overturned when paper ballots were discarded. In a separate case Albany County Judge Arnold W. Proskin acquitted Allen Wilson of murder by insanity, ruling overwhelming evidence of mental illness at the time. Wilson is to be treated as a dangerous incapacitated person under state Mental Hygiene Department custody.

Lamarre, a junior high principal who also works at a smoke shop, while defending other part timers as largely justified and competent.
