Bennington did itself proud in its
emphatic endorsement of the plan to
improve two of the towns principal
main roads. Only few years Ben
nington was very backward in taking
hold of town improvements, but a
new and awakened public spirit has
gradually developed here and is
manifesting itself whenever the DC
casion offers. An attendance OF 400
voters practically unanimous in a
good cause is a credit to Bennington
the best town in Vermont. Let us
continue to pull together and boost
every minute and We shall accomplish
more and better things during the
next few years. We can't do every
thing in a minute but we can add a
little each year.
