I a a a a a SIP Ed 26 THE HARTFORD COURANT: Tuesday, December 11, 1956 New Britain Civil Service Will Hold Public Hearing Monday NEW BRITAIN, Dec. 10 (Spe-) clal)--In an unusual procedure for Civil Service Commission will hold a public hearing next Monday on granting S00 city employes A pay raise and then will hold meeting to vote on. the matter, Personnel Director Anthony F. Campione said Monday, the afternoon. past the commission has followed a policy of voting on matters prior to hold-: ing public hearings on then.

The change. Campione said, was reconimended by legal counsel as a better way to hear points at issue before arriving at a decison. The commission has rejected request from Municipal Joint Council. representing city employe unions, for a pay raise but does favor some fringe beneits. most of them calling for part payment of premiums on group lite and health and surgical beneI'ts.

At a meeting last week the Ordinance, and Common Salaries Commit- Council agreed to the insurance benefits and also voted for wage increase. This would be accomplished. by adding a new, higher step and dropping the lower bracket from the present compensation plan. The estimated cost of this is about $150,000 an-: nuaily, including expected addi-! tional increass for supernumer. ary policemen and substitute men.

Would Speed Decision Campione said the hearing next Monday will serve another purpose in that the required five days notice for the session can be advertised in advance. The ac-, tion of the commission, under these circumstances can be TClayed to the Common Council in time for the regular meeting on Dec. 19. two day's following the hearing. Since city budgets have been drafted and must be approved by the Finance Board for action by the council in January.

time is an important element in arriving at any proposed salary increase, Campione said. The commission and the council must concur in such actions to make them effective. Whether the commission will be agreeable to adding a pay increase to its already offered plan is questionable, Donald Davis Jr. and Nathaniel W. Morrow of the body pointed out during discussion of the matter that an eight per cent boost was granted at the start of the pres-1 ent fiscal year.

last April 1. They opposed further raise at this time. Ernest V. Carpino did not take A A. stand on and the William matter J.

and John Pepe Grem were not present when the raise was ruled out. Indications are that the decision, with a full board present. could rest with Police Sat. John G. Brophy, chairman of the and elected to it to represent city employes.

Brophy has indicated he believes the raise should be riven further consideration, at least. Southington Water Easing Critical Shortage In New Britain SOUTHINGTON. Dec. 10 (Spccial) New Britain will start drawing water from the Eight Mile River north of Jude Lanc here about 9 a.m. Tuesday.

Bristol Plan Commission Tables State Housing Program BRISTOL. Dec. 10 (Special)-: The City Planning Commission, after objections were raised tunight by George W. Hull, said he was speaking for "the Bristol Real Estate Board, tabled request by the Bristol Housing Authority for tentative approval of a plot plan for a proposed new state moderaterental housing project here. Hull pointed out to the commission that in 1952.

in a referendum vote here, voters decided that there would be no more public housing unless expressly approved in a future referendum. Hull said he realized that a subsequent ruling by the state's attorney general held that the Bristol vote was invalid, because the housing authority was the sole authority on the need for public housing.
