North Bennington Faces Grand List Tax Rate Uncertainty
North Bennington Graded School District operates without a definite tax rate for 1966 as the Bennington Grand List may change before final figures. The budget is $172,280 with an estimated $8.90 rate based on original Grand List, and funds to cover payroll through year end require borrowing. A testing program for kindergarten and first grade may be tried with permission, and crossing guards at three corners are debated to boost safety. Heating system work gains approval for an anticorrosion chemical feeder costing $75, plus a $110 bill for extra tank-fill work.
