Thursday's fall pushed the December accumulation here to a record. The month's total now stands at 35 inches, said James A. Vollkommer, chief meterologist.

It brought almost a record to the Street Department in the number of truckloads of snow removed. Edward A. Crowley, Street Department superintendent, said 1,526 truckloads of snow had been removed from city streets from Christmas Day to Wednesday noon. In of last winter, 1,700 truckloads were removed. Crowley said his crew changed over from snow removal to snow plowing at 8 a.m.

Vollkommer said heavy snow fell throughout all of northern Vermont, with the mountain areas receiving up to a foot. Rain, freezing rain, sleet and snow fell in southern Vermont. "We have to take the bitter with the better," he said. "But I think we did quite well on this one." The Weather Bureau forecast the snow to begin at midnight. It began at 11:36 p.m.

Miss Geary emphasized the library is not a museum but a library. The trustees decided on an auction to clear out a great variety of antiques which had been donated or left there. No items with historical Interest specifically to Burlington will be sold; these will remain In display cases.

For instance, Miss Geary pointed out, a doll belonging to the Pickering family, early benefactors of the library, will be kept. Also, early Burlington fire company helmets, and so forth. The trustees voted to use the auction money for book purchases. An auction will also free space that can be put to use, said Miss Geary.

Box 443, Burlington. il-30-K Henry Albarelli, chairman of i the city's Welfare Commission, asked Burlington's representa tives to the State Legislature to back legislation centralizing welfare in the state during a special meeting called by Mayor Cain Thursday to brief the legislators on bills affecting the city. Other department heads, specifically School Supt.

William Keough City Light Supt. William Stebbins, Airport Manager John McKay, and Welfare Director Walter Corbett, also told the legislators what they would like to see. "If the state doesn't centralize welfare, standards may be set lower," Albarelli warned. Debate was triggered on the proposed welfare bill when Alderman Clarence LeClair (D- 2) questioned just how much the states assumption of welfare work would save local taxpayers. "Even if the state does take over the costs," he asked, "aren't we going to have to keep some reserve for contingent liabilities? It seems to me we shouldn't be saying the city will have no welfare costs if the state takes over if that isn't the case." "The state's plan is to equalize the cost, not to remove the city's liability," Cain Interjected.

"Eventually we may have no welfare expenses, but that may be 10 years away." Albarelli also told the group that "the way it looks now" the city would not go for a ballot for an addition to the nursing home. Keough presented the group with a list of 11 items affecting education which will come before the legislature for action, including a 10 per cent increase in state aid for general school construction costs, and a bill to completely fund construction of special education facilities. On the recommendations of the State Department of Education the superintendent said, "Whatever they say, you ought to endorse completely." He also pushed for more state aid, and for a $55,000 a year allotment to the UVM film library.

Ma arv is considered to be a traditional Republican, while Peisch and Salmon are considered closer to Gov. Hoff In political philosophy. Mallarv served as speaner ot the House during the special 1966 session of the reapportioned Legislature. He has been criticized for failing to appoint any Democrats to committee chairmanships in that session. He said Thursday that he be lieves the majority party In the House to have a responsiDinty for producing a program and making itself accountable to the public.

This nuroose can best be served if the Republicans, who are in the majority, have the positions of leadership, he said. Mallary explained, however, that he would not be averse to appointing able Democrats to committee chairmanships if the Republicans In the Legislature deem It wise. The Republican said primary challenge of the 1967 Legislature will be to spend extra money which will be available wisely. Estimates are that the state will have from $130 million to $140 million available to spend in the coming biennium. This is $30 million to $40 million more than was authorized in the past two years.

Mallary said, too, that the 1967 Legislature will have to make sure that a $10 million surplus from the present biennium is spent on nonrecurring items so that it will not inflate the budget. He said he expected most of the increased revenue In the next biennium to go to education. He pointed out that the Republican Party wants to increase state aid to local Would Retain Judgeship Mallary Says He, Too, Will Back Billings' Bid Judge Aaron H.

The other Republican is Rep. Francis R. Peisch, 1 6 Burlington. Peisch said last week he also would vote for Billings, whose interim appointment as superior judge by Gov. Hoff has met opposition within the Republican Party.

Mallary told newsmen Thursday that he does not condone Republican Billings' public support of Democratic Gov. Hoff in the recent election. He stated, also, that he is displeased that Gov. Hoff appointed Billings to the bench only a couple of months before Vermont's new judicial election law is to take effect. But Mallary said that Billings' qualifications for the judgeship and his character shold be the consideration rath er than the political past.

If his election were based on politics "it would open the whole process of selecting judges to politics," said Mallary. Mallary explained that he is in sympathy with the judicial selection law which is designed primarily to take the selection of judges out of politics. Dcrick V.
