VILLAGE VOTERS \ \
FAVOR CEMENTT0
VILLAGE LIMITS
Will End Road Construction at
Meach Hole Bridge
BUT NO MORE AT PRESENT
Special Village Meeting Monday
Night Debated Many
Road Questions

The village Of Bennington Monday
night voted, without dissenting
vote, to continue the concrete road
down past the soldiers home to the
Meach Hole bridge.
High school nail was well filed
with voters and there was room
enough and seats enough so that the
business could be done comfortably.
A few women were present but not as
many as ought to take an interest in
so important matter.
Village President John P. Morrissey
presided. The warning was read by
Clerk Hogan and a motion was pre-
sented by Village Attorney o. II.
Clayton authorizing the building OF
concrete roadway from the foot Of
North street to the Meach Hole
bridge at an expense OF $4,000
The foods of oratory were then
opened and poured forth for an hour
and half. 1t was voted to increase
the width Of the roadway fom Is feet
to 20 feet at an added cost OF $4,000.
An attempt to include County street
from North to the freight depot failed.
Everybody was in favor of 1t but
thought that the village rad gone into
II as deeply as II ought and that all
other proposals should wait except
the connecting link toward North Ben
nington.
The chief outburst was proposed
amendment by L. ]. Hall directing that
the job be let by contract to the low.
est bidder. This aroused lively de-
bate in which various kinds OF con-
tracts were discussed. The work done
by the Fred T. Ley company was
criticised by II. l.. Hall and DR.. Blu.
chanan and the Lindholm contract
was assailed by IL. J. Hall. Others
who spoke were II. ]. Cole. L. l..
Bates, c. A. Maurer and J.. J.sShaksho-
ber. aa 1a.o7af
Mr.. Breed. engineer of the village
job, answered many questions, explain
ed some details OF the work and said
that the village has gotten a good Job
at an expense below what ii could
have been had by competitive bidding.
and that the quality OF work is much
better y,i
At the end OF the debate 1t was vot.
ed almost unanimously to build the
road past the Soldiers home and to
leave the contract and details to the
village trustees. They can get bids
or continue the work as at present.
Other proposed road extensions we're
not brought up as 1t was clear that the
representative crowd OF voters pres
ent considered that the village has
spent all it can afford to at present.
