North End Bicycle Path To Get Further Clearing Work Tonight clearance may contact Mrs. Callahan at her For the second straight night, volunteers will be working tonight to clear Burlington's new north end bicycle path by hand since the city, has not come through with equipment to help them. Mrs. Edward J. Callahan, chairman of the citizens' committee which is developing the bike trail, said the work will go on from 6 to ,8:30 p.m.

Clearing also was done at the same time The city, however, might be too late because current plans call for the development to be completed tonight. Machinery, including trucks, has been donated by the Northgate Associates for the path's development, Mrs. Callahan said, the volunteers are requested to bring any tools they might have to help with the work. Anyone interested in assisting in the trail's ahead on its own. The committee's request for equipment donations went to City Hall two weeks ago but so far there have been no positive reactions outside of interest.

Officials have been reluctant to bring in heavy street machinery because it could destroy more than it builds and some authorities have recommended all the development be done by hand. Mayor Paquette has maintained the possibilities of getting equipment to the volunteers have to be examined because the volume of street work and need for its equipment is complicating the situation. The mayor said Monday he still intends to look into the matter and "if we can give these people help clearing the path, we will." Monday night, she explained, starting at Shore Road. Mrs. Callahan said her committee decided to proceed with the development instead of waiting for the city, to help with equipment needs.

She noted the committee is well aware of the demands on the city Street Department for its machinery and because of that factor went Northgate Apartments home. The trail, created by an aldermanic resolution two weeks ago. runs from the Winooski River to Shore Road along the old Rutland Railway right-of-way. It has been designated for use by bicyclists and pedestrians in the summer and by crosscountry skiers and snowshoers in the winter. lie fttrltngtcnrerfmifi BwtiutftOK, VvuMHt, Ok lake CkttMptxU Page 15 TUESDAY, JULY 27, 1971 2 Slightly Hurt In Whiting Crash RUTLAND Two persons have been released from Rutland Hospital following a single-car accident on Vermont 30 in Whiting early Sunday morning.

The attempt, however, was turned down Friday by Judge Rudolph Daley. Teachers said Monday they have received contracts made out for last year's salaries. Contracts include a statement saying, "All negotiated items in this contract are subject to adjustment subsequent to the conclusion of negotiations between the BEA and the Board of School Commissioners." Donald Carpenter, head of the BEA's negotiating team, said 60 to 70 teachers met Sunday night to discuss a course of action since the request for a restraining order was turned down.

The Burlington Education Association recommended Monday that all teachers not return their contracts for the 1971-72 school year until legal advice has been sought. Contracts were sent out over the weekend by School Supt. Dr. C. Edward Hamilton, who said Thursday he did not know when they would be sent.

Deadline for returning them is Aug. 9. The whole issue of contracts has caused controversy in the School Department since July 15 when school commissioners voted to send them out before conclusion of negotiations. The BEA attempted to obtain a temporary restraining order against the School Board to the project's estimated income." Blackburn added. Authority to grant such concessions was given to towns and cities by a recent act of the legislature, he said.

SHELBURNE ROAD 658-4888 apartments," he said. "Sixty per cent will be two-bedroom units and the remaining 16 units will be three-bedroom apartments. It becomes apparent that the number of families with three or four children will be limited." Because Barrett and Iby Streets have a large number of children who have "few options but to play in the street," Blackburn said the plans have provided for most of the nearly 11 acres to be developed for recreational purposes. "We are also considering the possibility of a Little League ball park," he noted. Blackburn said the 84 garden-style apartments will be constructed on about 2.5 acres and most of the remaining acreage will be used for recreation.

Association and president of Chittenden Homes Monday issued a statement in which he said there were "some apparent misunderstandings" about the project. "First, it should be made absolutely clear that this proposed housing project is not public housing," he said. "The rents for the 84 units will be close to the prevailing market rates for similar housing," he pointed out. The project, Blackburn explained, is designed to "provide a mix of families from different economic and social backgrounds." In no case is there any potential for a large number of big families," he said. "Twenty per cent of the 84 units will be one-bedroom "Additionally, an access road will be constructed connecting Barrett Street as well as Iby." he said.

"With two roads serving the project, it's unlikely traffic on either street will be extreme." Blackburn remarked. Observing there is some opposition to the project because of a purported tax concession, Blackburn said many persons have viewed the requested concession as a subsidy and said it was not. "Housing and Urban Development in Washington requires that taxes on housing projects they assist must not exceed 18 per cent of the project's income," he said. "South Burlington's tax rate is such that taxes paid on the fair market value of the project would amount to 25 per cent of NOW!
