Arlington residents eye action as a private water system owned by Norton Barber of Bennington remains under boil water orders from the state Health Department. At an emergency Arlington selectmen meeting about 125 citizens urged decisive steps, with a possible sale of the system to the town as a potential remedy. The Public Service Board bears regulatory authority, but town leaders insist on prompt leadership to end weeks of restricted service affecting homes and the local school. Rep Jane Gardner commends the pursuing officials for pressing the issue.
The Bennington Museum plans to display a 1920 Martin Wasp owned by Raymond Newell of Northhampton Mass, part of the 11th annual Classic and Antique Car Show. The feature contrasts with last year’s Henry Dodge, notes on four cylinder power, twin ignition ideas, and the evolution of engine design from L head to overhead cam. Up to 300 cars are expected at the airport venue, illustrating a cross section of industrial history.
A Letter to the Editor urges opposition to including Green Mountain National Forest acreage in a roadless undeveloped areas inventory.
