WRONG WORDING PUTS 1-12

BARRE, Vt. (U.P0-Because
of typographical error in the
city charter, Mayor Chauncey
M. Wiley is wondering how
long his term will last.
When Wiley took office six
months ago, he expected to be
mayor for two years.
But self-styled political
scientist named Hartley W. Kid
der says it's time to elect a new
mayor. Elections in Barre
should be held every six months
instead of two years, Kidder told
city officials.
Officials checked and found
that the city charter actually
said ''biannually' (twice a
YEAR, instead of ''biennially"
(every two years..
The charter probably will be
amended to correct the typo.
