Selectmen estimate four to five thousand yards of fill needed to raise the Boy Scout pond on Cleveland Avenue. Road Commissioner Kenny Harrington prepared the figure to forward to Lion Club member Joseph Crossman, who plans to help with renovation. Also, no bucket loader purchase is approved as unnecessary. Mrs. Roberta Haynes will replace Dr. Frank Oktavec on the Bennington County Regional Commission. A gas pump repair at the town garage is requested from Gulf Oil dealer Sal Santarcangelo. Nationwide Insurance adjuster Jim Alix will handle the Missbrenner claim after a fall from a Shaftsbury Hollow bridge. The board maintains mileage vouchers for town vehicle use. Harrington was asked to check if town employees may use the town pump to replace gas used.
