Plainville Budget Approved With $43,860 Gut From Funds PLAINVILLE, Dec. 3 (Special) The revised 1957-58 budget of $1,812,441.52 was accepted at the reconvened annual budget, hear-1 ing in the high school Tuesday night.

The revised ouoget wntcn the Board of Finance presented was $43,860 less than originally proposed. Also passed by a large majori ty were resolutions which (1) made available to the Board ot Selectmen from the Reserve Fund for Capital and Non-Recur-ring Expenditures $15,200 for new equipment, including two trucks, a road roller and snow plow and (2) rescinded action taken at a special town meeting in April to appropriate sis.uuu ior plans and specifications for the construction of sanitary sewers in the Mountain View area. About 350 persons attended the meeting and the motion to re scind was debated tor aoout an hour. Democratic Selectman Edward Siry said the resolution to re scind should oe rejectee) oe- cause "all of you are paying for sewers, yet only half of you are receiving tnem give the people who are rot receiving them a chance." Herman finance board head, said that If taxes were to be kept down, the sewer system should be delayed at least a year. The paper Ballot vote on tne resolution was 227 to' 88.

The count on the resolution to accept the revised tmdget was 225 to 99. The vote on the transfer from the Reserve Fund was 245 to 78, with two ballots declared invalid. Pcpenfoth estimated that the revised budget would keep the tax rate at 37 or iVA mills. The present rate Is 37. The finance board chairman said that this estimate was based on a grand list of $38,000,000.

Siry questioned the legality of the motion to rescind the April action on the basis that "there was no motion to rescind" in the original call of the annual cet meeting. Albert Helms, moderator, ruled the motion, legal, saying that it was published and duly: advertised. Atty. Edward McMahon and Town Co'insd Theodore Pou- los supported this view, Helms claimed. NEW BRITAIN, Dec.

3 (Special) Ending an argument which flared up last October, the veterans commission voted TiiMdnv nicht to recognize a plaque honoring Gen. John Pa terson as tne oinciai evoiuiion-arv War Memorial here. Leo Melowicz of the Northwestern Veterans, who had proposed that the memorial -to Gen. Caslmer Pulaski be so recognized, was the onlv one of the seven mem ber commission who opposed the motion. While the commission debated which general should be honored it arranged to have wreaths placed at both memorials on last Veterans Day, Nov.

11. nAlt Takes Stand The motion to honor paterson: was made by Harry Horwltz, chairman of a sub-committee to recommend action on the revolutionary war memorial. The subcommittee met, with other commissioners as onlookers, -with rnnresentatives of Esther Stan ley Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, who urged that Paterson be honored oe- cause he was a native of this city. Representing the Chapter were Mrs. E.

Edwin Carlson, regent, and past regents Mrs. William H. Judd and Mrs. Harold Peck. Irwin Lustig, president of the Veterans Council at te time it recommended that the commls-.

sion consider honoring ru- losH, had also been invited to attend. The DAR officials also claimed the city has recognized the memorial to Gen. Paterson for about 20 years by decorating it on patriotic holidays. His plaque is located on a plot of land on East street, near Auen street. No Disrespect After the commission adtd, Atty.

Carlos A. Richardson, chairman, said its decision was made without intending any dis respect to Gen. Pulaski who, he said, was a person dedicated to; ireedom and liDcrty. Following receipt of i letter from the Veterans Council on Civil Service tests here. Atty, Richardson named a committee consisting of Dr.

Albert A. Lieb- mnn. Joseoh Borselle and Hor wltz to look into its claims. The council contended that the me thod of conducting such tests snouio oe ciarmed anu standardized. GOP Meets Jan 7.

Summers Department Store. Open every night til 9 until NEW BRITAIN. Dec. 5 (Spe cial) A payment of $18,000 to the cny oy tne aiair mgiiwj Department for a part of A.W. Stanley Park the state required to Improve Route 71 here, must be turned into the park's maintenance fund.

A deed under which the city acquired the park property as a gift from the late Allx W. Stanley specifically provides for this, it was' learned late Tuesday, shortly after hte state payment, a cheek made out to 1he city and the Board of Park Commissioners, was delivered, to the mayor's office. Ruled Out The dee's provisions apparently rules, out a Common Council resolution, adopted last month, which transferred the paynlent to the Public Wrbks Department to provide funds for new street light installations hare. In approving the sale ot the land to the state early in the Fall, the Park Board made.it plain at that time that it wanted the proceeds from the sale to be deposited in the park's maintenance fund. Park' Board Chairman Joseph Manrinfien -was sharnlv critical of the Common Council action which was designed to direct the fund to the Public Works De-nartment where the street light ing appropriation has been in sufficient to pay lor a numoer of new light installations.

The language in the deed turning the park land over to the city was reportedly to be. crystal clear regarding the use of funds obtained for selling- any. of the park property and even directs the park trustees, it was reported, to seek court action in the event of a violation of the deed stipulation. Play Site Transferred The last of several parcels of land in the Lee Street Clark Street area, the city has been seeking for more than a year in connection with a playground expansion program at nearby Elihu Burritt School, have been transferred to the city, according to deeds recorded here late Tuesday.

The average stay of a patient was o.s aays, tne same as last year. The admission of fewer pa tients was also the cause of the decreased number of medical-surgical eases, radiological examinations and meals served by the dietary department.

Nelson and Stephen K. Elliott. Simone Named Russell F. Stone was named EFUSTOL, Dec. 3 (Special) The city's numerous boards and commission will have to alter their methods of conducting meetings after the first of the year because of a new state law, it was announced Tuesday bv Corn.

Counsel Louis F. Han rahan. The corporation counsel distributed a copy of the so-called freedom or statute which' becomes ef fective Jan. 1 to all city officials concerned and with it a two-uoint' directive. The law applies to all adminis trative, and executive uoartis, commissions, agencies, bureaus.

committees and other bodies of the state or any of its. political subdivisions, of which the City of Bristol is one. The Hanrahan directive points out that "the votes of each member- of your group on any question must be recorded in the minutes. This means, in effect, that roll Call, vote should be taken and the vote of each mem ber present, including the chair man, be recorded. The second point the city attorney brings out is that "all meetings shall be opened to the public, including executive sessions when so voted by the majority of the members present and voting." The first point is the one that will have an effect on most local municipal boards as roll call votes in the past have been the exceptions, this vote generally With a roll- call necessary on every motion, the length of time required to transact business will now be much greater.

Open meetings are required here by the City Charter and a vote passed by the City Council during the administration of the late Mayor Daniel J. Donovan requires that' notices be sent to local reporters of the. times and places of With few exceptions, litis vote generally has been followed and reporters have waived their right to a notice in many instances when boards and commissions meet regularly on the same day of each month. The only board which now holds executive sessions regularly is the Board of Education and it is doubtful if a majority of the board would vote to open these sessions to the public.
