Salmon backs plug in Act 250 loophole in Vermont
Vermont Governor Thomas P. Salmon endorsed an emergency health rule to close a loophole in the 197 Land Develop ment Control Law. He said the reform plan may be revised by appointees, with the aim of protecting the environment and curbing ill effects of split lot sales. Landowners posted 30,000 plus acres to bar access, while Cowles defended the health measure as safeguarding water, sewage, and safety. Fish and Game Chief Kehoe urged a 750,000 plan to subsidize open land for public use, preserving three million acres for recreation.
