Bennington planners back water expansion bond vote
The Bennington Planning Commission endorses the 310000 water expansion bond issue to be decided Tuesday deeming water essential for current users and growth. The panel cites the Bickford Hollow Bolles Brook project as a vital first step for industrial commercial and residential needs and future municipal supply. The endorsement accompanies ongoing town deliberations and preparations for National Education Week open house at Bennington Elementary School later this week.

An astronomy note references Cetus and Menkar, noting the star’s place in the sky and its distance of 138 light years. The piece shifts to local planning, reporting federal aid of 188500 dollars reducing taxpayer costs for a water project funded by water revenues to offset bond payments and urging a vote on November 8, saying more water is needed and the project is a prudent start.

Vermont voters face a light statewide contest as Republican Robert Stafford defends one House seat against Democrat William J. Ryan while Lt. Gov. John J.
