Vermont grocers vow legal challenge to bottle law
Gov Thomas Salmon defends Vermont bottle deposit rule as grocers near border seek injunction to block enforcement and push repeal in 1974. They argue border sales drain beer and soda profits while wholesalers raise six pack prices by up to 50 cents. Salmon notes expected sales loss but not such price hikes. Nearby Walpole stores show six packs at 1.10 against 1.77 in Vermont with deposits included. Premium beers fetch 2 to 2.20 per six-pack in some shops.
