Lister, who had campaigned on the need to increase the board to five members when hean three years ago, said his attitude had changed since he joined the board.

The $450,000 bond issue covers replacement of roofs at the high school, construction of a new track and softball facilities at the high school and improvements to -the gymnasium and classrooms at the high school, Memorial School and John F. Kennedy School. Superintendent Donald W. Messier said the district does not meet the law requiring removal of barriers to the handicapped. Messier said plans also call for converting one furnace at Memorial School to coal, with the other functioning on natural gas and oil.

The conversion should pay for itself, according to the board and Messier. Tiles, glass partitions, doors and ventilation systems violating safety and fire codes would be replaced, Messier said. The track and the softball field would cost less than 9 percent of the bond issue. Messier said Winooski has had outstanding boys and girls' track teams, state champions last year, but is the only school in the county without a track. With a softball field, the girls' team could play on campus, which would improve school spirit and help officials control the game, he said.

Milton residents will be asked at town meeting Tuesday to approve PEARSON LISTER five city councilmen, while 70 percent of the city taxes are controlled by three school commissioners.

She favors a lunchtime meal program, both for the safety of the students so they do not have to walk home for the noon hour and for the $18,000 to provide 24-hour dispatching and another $20,000 to add two patrolmen to the town police force.

Strong said the state police provides dispatching to Milton except from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., when a town dispatcher is in the station.
