Regional landfill talks hinge on private and public bids
Dorset and Manchester selectmen met at the elementary school to review long range sanitary landfill options. Beattie offered 100 acre site and a 10 year lease at 4200 dollars per year while Cummings proposed eight year contracts with annual fees of 17000 for Manchester and 7000 for Dorset, with potential 4 percent annual increases. A state and regional meeting Friday will discuss short and long term waste disposal plans for the five towns.

Dorset Reappraisal Hearing Stirs Town Meeting Vote
About 10 town residents attended an information session at the Dorset elementary school on a town wide reappraisal of all properties, funded in part by revenue sharing. The plan, supported by Selectmen, would use state and local partners to reassess land values since 1968, with an anticipated five to six year effective period and a 1971 baseline hike. Polls today run 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the school as officials discuss related land exchange and landfill issues.

Zoning dispute moves against Corcoran over mobile home
North Bennington trustees instructed Zoning Administrator John Kennedy to enforce village zoning against Joseph E. Corcoran for placing a mobile home on Morris Heights Road off Water Street. Corcoran, denied a zoning permit last November, apparently proceeded last April. Trustees also approved a one way Sage Street from Nadeau building to On Field with truck exemptions and limited auto access from North Street, amid resident concerns.
