Williams Quits Water Agency In Dispute With Board
John H. Williams II resigns from the Bennington Water and Sewer Commission amid clashes over the Putnam Deed of Gift and plans to fund Bolles Brook water. He argues for legal action to run a townwide, soundly run system, not a deed break, and questions the commission's role under current arrangements. Selectmen consider a town water system bypassing the village to serve all residents.
