Hospital Notes And Regional Developments In Vermont
Three admissions and births are listed from Hoosick Falls and nearby towns including a baby girl Clara Jean Oakes born to Mr. and Mrs. Walter J. Sprague Jr. in Hoosick Falls. Discharges include Stephen Smith at Hoosick Falls and Mrs Ethel Camp, Mrs Sharon Corcoran and daughter Bennington, and Mrs Margaret Grover East Arlington. The article notes a court ruling on St Joseph's College with Catholic Diocese of Vermont distancing itself from activities. Justice Smith dissents, arguing aid to the church related school would exceed constitutional power. The piece also covers highway and regional infrastructure actions: Burlington beltline project approval, Interstate 91 condemnation dates, and demand for a full-time attorney for the Highway Department. A Gray preliminary report updates seven-year highway project finances to a net positive $660,000. Present: Chairman James Marro and officials from Rutland, Brattleboro, Burlington, and Bennington.
