A foot of water was reported on a 100-foot section of Main Street in Brattleboro at 7 p.m. Windham County sheriffs were fielding many requests to close washed-out roads Friday night in Brookline, Athens and Putney.

Dispatchers said culverts clogged with leaves were a problem as well as overflowing roadside streams.

interest." The Christmas Tree Shop at the plaza is ready to open, according to Chris Phillips, a spokesman for DeVillars. He said that the developer went ahead with construction after receiving local approval, gambling that state approval would come through. "The Christmas Tree Shop will not open by this Christmas and there are serious questions about whether it will ever open," Phillips said. Doreen Bilezikian, owner of the Christmas Tree Shops, did not return a telephone call Friday. House-approved legislation to strengthen the state's environmental impact review process awaits action in the Senate Ways and Means Committee.

By Kevin Qalvln The Associated Press BOSTON The state rejected environmental impact reports Friday for two Cape Cod construction projects, including one seasonal shop that's built and stocked but won't be open for Christmas, the Environmental Affairs office said. The two retail complexes were rejected because of the effect they would have on the Cape's congested roadways, Secretary John DeVillars said in a prepared announcement. The two projects are Designer Place on Route 132 in Barnstable and the completed 66,000 square-foot Christmas Tree Plaza at routes 28 and 132. "This is a highly stressed area of the Cape and before any further development can be allowed we need to make absolutely certain that it doesn't contribute to that stress," DeVillars said. "I'm not convinced that these projects meet that test." The Christmas Tree Plaza would have contributed 1,500 cars a day to the area, one of the most heavily congested areas of the Cape.

Last month, Sen. Jeb Spaulding.

Washington, wrote his 29 colleagues, asking them to sign a petition in support of Act 200. He called efforts to repeal Act 200 "intent on dividing and polarizing Vermonters." Fourteen senators have signed his letter and at least a half dozen have decided not to sign. Meanwhile, Sen. John Mc- Claughry, R-Caledonia, responded with a two-page letter that he sent to the remaining senators. "Rarely have I seen such a patronizing, self-righteous pronouncement.

Jeb, this is a democracy despite some of the best torts of some of those who label themselves 'Democrats' to destroy fwhat is left of it," McClaughry wrote. "If anyone is responsible for dividing and polarizing, it is those who conceived this monstrosity and drove it through to passage," he continued in his letter. McClaughry compared the move to repeal Act 200 to a move Katherine Males, 6, of Dover, N.H., stands over a poster as she looks out the window of her classroom at the rain earlier this week.

"I'm hopeful that the initiative will be well-received." Even if Kunin's proposal is passed, former Democratic state Scudder Parker of St. Johnsbury, said it will not be enough.

Parker said the state needs between $15 million and $20 million annually to meet the demand for affordable housing. Parker said Kunin's $50 million proposal will barely last two years. "Let's not kid ourselves," he said. Kunin, Seelig and Parker were among those attending a day-long conference in Montpelier on land conservation and affordable hous ing. The governor told the gathering the state has spent $17 million since 1988 to finance 108 projects.

Advocates say those projects have protected 21,697 acres and financed construction of 1,075 affordable housing units. However, Commissioner of Housing and Community Affairs Steve Holmes said a 1986 study shows the state needs to build about 4,000 units of affordable housing a year to meet the demand. Holmes could not say how many affordable housing units the state has. Kunin said her proposed $50 million appropriation could be leveraged to buy land worth several times more. She said the $17 million has so far been used to preserve $75 million worth of land.

"We should use the money to leverage," Kunin said. "That's the over the past year has struggled with a state budget shortfall that has forced him to cut back state school aid, reminded the audience that improvements in schools have a price. "Taxes, tuitions, those funds for this school didn't come out of the air," the governor said. "We've got to decide just how important schools are. And the real work has just begun." To many 600 alumni and others on hand, however, taxes and renovation seemed beside the point as they greeted old friends and students they had not seen in decades.

"I wouldn't miss this for the world," said Lola Tassinari Mc-Grail, who taught French at Mather from 1941 to 1953. "Many of my students are here now." Nearby, a group of gray-haired men and women in tweed exclaimed over a yellowed picture of the class of 1932, pointing out their younger selves. The photographs, where white faces stare out in sepia tones, portrayed another facet of the major changes at Mather. Fifteen years after the school was ordered to integrate, 80 percent of the student body is black and Hispanic. "We are now truly a worldwide school," Principal Michael Marshall said.

"This diversity makes us vibrant and strong, but it also puts us on the front lines of what's happening in the By Michael Tighe The Associated Press MONTPELIER Gov. Made leine Kunin said Friday that it will be difficult to win legislative approval for her proposed $50 million fund for preserving land and building affordable housing. "It's a large amount to ask for right now," Kunin said. "We don't know if it will be approved." The $50 million would finance the state's Housing and Conservation Trust Fund during the next 10 years. The fund seeks to preserve agricultural land from development and also finance the construction of affordable housing.

Gustave Seelig, executive director of the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board, which administers the fund, said the Legislature will consider numer THE 9y Allison J. Pugh Associated Press I BOSTON Education Lauro Cayazos joined gray-1 haired alumni and fifth-graders in -Pilgrim outfits Friday to mark the 350th anniversary of the nation's oldest free school made new lor its birthday by an infusion of renovation funds. fd Cavazos said the refurbishing iof Mather School, where morale had sagged as graffiti and other scars multiplied in the past decade, "speaks to the way our nation is getting together to ad dress our education deficit." 1 The school was founded in 1639 as a one-room boys' school with a grass roof. It flourished, moving five times to accommodate its growing enrollment. But in 1974, federal orders to desegregate Bos-jton schools through busing contributed to a middle-class exodus ito the suburbs, and the school's deteriorated.

It took a jnew principal and the looming anniversary to get the $1.2 million renovation under way. Friday, the new Mather was pohshed and humming, equipped with a set of gleaming windows, a jnew playground out front to greet -the visitors and a refurbished auditorium.

Parker said the state should look to other, permanent sources of funding for the program. His proposals include raising the state income tax or creating a higher property tax on second homes to finance the program.

Seelig agreed. "I think there will be a need for some sort of tax increase," he said. Seelig said the $50 million appropriation, if passed by the Leg-islature, would likely be supplemented by another $50 million in property transfer taxes. However, the tax generated $3 million last year while Seelig's board spent $12 million last year and expects to spend $14 million next year. "The need goes well beyond that," he said.

Spaudling, who noted his friendship with McClaughry, said, "Basically we have a difference of opinion here. I'm thinking that we J-ahould consider all serious sugges tions to improve Act 200." But much of what Act 200 opponents have done is not constructive, he said. Some senators have resisted signing his petition, Spaulding said because "they're not wanting to raise the level of bitterness here."
