Boston Globe charges on New England highway study waste

Louis Berger Inc benefited, with 192000 for the project, while the study duplicated earlier work from 1968. The piece questions legality of contributions by Berger and affiliates and notes advisory committee deadlock.

King Faces Criticism Over Refused Debate in New York
In Saratoga County, Congressman Carlton King drew Democratic challenger Harold B. Gordon's ire after King declined a public debate. Gordon accused King of lacking clear stance on labor ecology and agriculture in a telegram noting constituents’ need to know where he stands on core issues. The dispute coincides with a Ballston Spa board vote rejecting a state master transportation plan that would put 73 miles of roads under county control. In Troy, the Capitol District Transportation Authority sought approval to build a bus garage, a plan opposed by the county legislature amid fare hikes and service cuts.

An explosion set off by highway workers knocked telephone cables into the Deerfield River, disrupting long distance service to about 17 000 New England customers in North Adams and leaving 75 Charlemont locals without local service. Crews worked to replace cables and poles so service could be restored today. Incoming calls to North Adams were severely limited and there were no outgoing calls.
