$5,500 Land dispute award in North Adams case
A Superior Court jury awarded $5,500 to Williamstown resident Albert Bachand in a land damage suit against the City of North Adams over a July 1963 taking to extend the airport runway. An appraiser valued damages at $40,009, and Bachand had claimed his property, including a severed 40 acre parcel on Route 2, was worth $80,000 overall. Delorey Jr. filed a separate land case against Berkshire County for bridge construction damage along Holmes Road in Pittsfield, with Delorey asserting 12,000 yards of fill would be needed and cost about $18,000. The county initially awarded token $1, and Berkshire County, joined by the state, shared bridge costs. Delorey is represented by Atty. John A. Barry.

Sore jurors seek cushions for Berkshire benches
Howard D. Sammis of Pittsfield and about 30 Berkshire County peers petition County Commissioners to seat at least half the spectators benches with cushions for jurors who are on tap. They note that when 12 listen to a case, 20 or 30 more wait in reserve and sit on hard benches all day. The commissioners inspected the benches and will decide after further discussion.
