CO Stowe To Hold Hearing Tonight On Revised Development Plan 0 3. 8 Vermont Roundup Westford Board Postpones Meet WESTFORD The School Board meeting scheduled for Tuesday evening has been postponed until Aug. 25, when the board will meet at the Westford Elementary School at 6 p.m. By CHRIS SILVA Free Press Correspondent STOWE Selectmen and village trustees will hold a public hearing on the revised municipal plan of development tonight at 8 in the basement meeting room of the Akeley Memorial Building. If no substantial changes are sought or serious questions raised, the "noncontroversial" plan may be adopted by selectmen following the hearing, Planning Commission clerk Dorothy Rogers said Sunday.

However, she said, if selectmen decide to make significant changes, the law requires another hearing. Town planners made several modest revisions in the updated 1972 town plan, though the same general philosophy as in previous plans is maintained, Laurence Heath, commission chairman, reports. Principal provisions of the revised plan focused on economic base, land use, the village, a circulation plan and public facilities and utilities. The most important function of the plan, Mrs. Rogers said, "is to guide and control growth in an orderly pattern with suitable regulations for the use of land and with a long-range program to provide the desired environment and facilities required by the community in the future in the most economical way." The Planning Commission spent almost a year preparing revisions.

Several citizen-proposed revisions were included. The plan proposed that "small, clean, light in- dustries not allied to tourism be encouraged to come to Stowe, thereby helping employment and to diversify the tax base." Stowe's tourist-oriented economy de- pends to a great extent on its scenic quality which must be preserved, the plan states. The new plan calls the village "the most important social and economic asset of the town," noting it should remain the center of activity. Solutions to traffic and parking problems are suggested, along with proposed bypasses to serve both immediate needs and long-range goals. This fall the Planning Commission will begin work on revisions to the zoning bylaws, the tool by which the town plan is implemented, Mrs.

Rogers said. Ferrisburg Teen Held at Weeks BRIDPORT A 15-year-old Ferrisburg youth was committed to the Weeks School in Vergennes late Saturday night pending a formal court hearing on charges he burglarized a Bridport business. Francis G. Broughton, owner of the IBA Corp. on Vermont 22A, reportedly found the juvenile inside the business shortly after 11 p.m.

when he returned from the Addison County Field Days, state police said. Broughton detained the youth and summoned state police. Police contacted a District Court judge, who ordered the teen held at the juvenile correctional facility in Vergennes until the formal hearing. Police said entry into the building was gained by breaking a window on a door and unlocking it. Grand Isle Board To Meet GRAND ISLE A tour of the school building, beginning at 7 p.m., will precede the 7:30 meeting of the Grand Isle Board of School Directors Tuesday at the school.

The office of the superintendent of the Grand Isle Supervisory Union District, in North Hero, will be closed until next Monday, Aug. 29. Leahy Aide To Visit St. Albans ST. ALBANS The Franklin-Grand Isle Regional Planning and Development Commission will host a one-day visit on Thursday by Margaret Gross, project specialist on the Washington staff of Sen.

Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. Mrs. Gross will be available to speak to area residents from 1 to 5 p.m. in the commission's offices at 118 N. Main St.

An earlier announcement sent to public officials was incorrect in stating that the office hours would be on Saturday. Milton To Select Charter Panel MILTON Selectmen are expected to appoint a town charter revision committee when the board meets tonight at 6:30 at the town clerk's office. Residents interested in serving on the committee may contact a selectman or the town clerk before the meeting. The board is also scheduled to reconsider action taken last week on a junkyard application and a liquor license suspension. Selectmen denied a permit to Gilbert Rhoades to operate a salvage yard on McMullen Drive.

In a liquor control session the board suspended the license of the Twin Bill Restaurant, which closed last month. Vermont Public Radio Goes on Air The station, with studios in Windsor, offers classical, jazz and folk music, drama, public affairs and children's programming, she said. The station was given a channel within the frequency band set aside by the FCC in 1954 for educational stations. The channel, at the low end of the FM radio band, only allows for the signal to reach southern Vermont and southwestern New Hampshire. Smith said the station is trying to secure FCC permission to build a public radio station to cover the northern part of the state.

Under Vermont Public Radio's proposal, the transmitter for the northern Vermont station would be on Mt. Mansfield. Navy Man Arrested in Colchester Randy D. Hams, 21, of Mt. Morris, was arrested by Colchester police Sunday afternoon on charges of desertion from the U.S.

The Scoreboard WINDSOR Vermont's first public radio station went on the air at noon Saturday and continued broadcasting Sunday without any snags. Jerry Erickson, chief engineer for Vermont Public Radio, WVPA, said the station's signal carried farther and stronger than had been expected.

The nonprofit FM station, which transmits from atop Mt. Ascutney and at an FM frequency of 89.5 megacycles, was tuned in on radios in Burlington, Barre, Shaftsbury, Brattleboro and Weare, N.H. "Someone with a portable radio picked us up in Groton State Park," Erickson said. The station transmitted 13 hours Saturday and 12 hours Sunday, said Erickson. He said he was waiting for equipment that will enable the station to broadcast morning programs, which will keep the station on the air 18 hours a day.

Vermont Public Radio's music and fine art director, Betty Smith, said the station was granted program test authority from the Federal Communication Commission.

Suit Brought Over Junkyards MILTON Town and village officials will proceed with court action against three residents who failed to act on a request to clear their properly of junk to comply with town zoning regulations. Village trustees said two village residents will be prosecuted and selectmen said one town resident faces court action for violating local ordinances governing junkyards. Several of the more than 70 individuals who were originally charged with violations will receive letters asking them to complete their cleanup program.

These are persons, officials said, who have cooperated with the town's cleanup efforts and cleared their property of most items that violate regulations. Town officials said they are pleased with the cooperation from townspeople and businessmen who assisted in the project.
