mall village — big insurance bill. That was part of the take-away at Stheir Tuesday (May 27) meeting as trustees for the Village of Cold Spring heard proposals from two companies bidding to handle village insurance needs for 2014-15.

No deci- sion was reached, in part because Mayor Beacon’s Only Supermarket Ralph Falloon and Trustee Stephanie Hawkins were not in attendance. A spe- cial meeting of the Village Board was A Bellwether of Growth scheduled for May 30 (Thursday) to se- lect the successful bid.
