20-Year-Old Marine Fined in Bennington Court for Beer
A 20-year-old Marine home from Viet Nam was fined 20 plus costs in Bennington Municipal Court for possessing alcoholic beverages in North Bennington on Oct 31. Richard F. Ryan, a combat veteran wounded in Viet Nam, received the same fine as two 18-year-old companions. The judge noted it was fair for a veteran to wait to drink but stressed he could not understand why Ryan crossed the state line.

Bennington water funding plan ties to town source
The village relies on Putnam deed revenues to pay operating expenses and purchase water from Bolles Brook. Williams argues use of department income to buy water aligns with Putnam's intent to provide residents with ample, good water and to reduce the overall tax burden. Tax relief would lessen funds to the hospital, but authorities back the plan, believing the broader benefit to the hospital and Bennington area outweighs short term losses.
