Water District Hikes 7, By MIKE DONOGHUE December plain A Water growing Free Press District deficit Staff at Writer forced the missioners Tuesday to increase water rates for 1984 more than the Cham- expected 9 cents per 1,000 gallons. com- The district will sell water to UVM Student Poll Shows Sanders, Reagan Popular were asked whether they disapproved of Sanders' performance. Eleven percent of those 35 or under disapproved of Sanders' handling of the job, compared to a 36 percent among voters age 36 or older. Sanders' highest approval and lowest disapproval ratings came from voters 35 or younger and earning less than $30,000 a year. The largest negative rating, 38 percent, came from voters 36 or older and making more than $30,000 annually.

Still, Sanders had: a higher approval than disapproval rating even among those 36 or older and earning more than $30,000, where 47 percent of the respondents said they approved against the 38 per- From Page 1B cent who said they disapproved. Burlington voters have a relatively sophisticated knowledge of the ideology of politicians, according to Rice. One question asked veters to rate Sanders, Mondale, Glenn and Reagan on a scale of how conservative or liberal they thought the politicians were. Less than 10 percent of those polled put Reagan in the liberal category, with the bulk identifying the president as a conservative. Mondale was seen as a moderate to liberal, with Glenn coming in slightly more conservative than Mondale.

While about 5 percent labeled Sanders, a socialist, as conservative, more than 70 percent identified him in the categories reserved for a politician with "most liberal" views.

"We will continue to have an open-door policy," Rader said. "Any homeless person is welcome as long as they abide by our rules."

From Page 18 nances allow uses such as the shelter in the area, which is zoned for up to 75 apartments per acre, Franco said. Tuesday's decision means Burlington will have both the North Street and the Waystation shelters operating through the winter.

The Waystation shelter is funded with a combination of state, federal, city and private money, while the emergency shelter on North Street is funded privately, with much of its support coming from area churches. The only condition on the approval is that the board will review the performance of the shelter after it has been in operation for nine months. "That doesn't bother us at all," Cunningham said.

J. HOMER SABOURIN ESSEX JUNCTION J. Homer Sabourin, 52, of 113 Susie Wilson Road died unexpectedly at the Fanny Allen Hospital Monday evening. He was born in Salisbury Nov. 30, 1931.

He was a veteran of the Korean conflict. He was a member of the Winooski Knights of Columbus, third and fourth degrees, and also a member of the Lions Club.

Everard Berard. Rates the member communities South Burlington, Colchester, Essex, Shelburne, Winooski and Williston -for 61.218 cents per 1,000 gallons.

The current rate of 50 cents per 1,000 had been expected to go to about 59 cents after the $1,529,950 budget was approved by voters at the annual meeting in October. General Manager Edward E. Blake, who had projected in August a $50,000 deficit by Dec. 31, told the commissioners Tuesday het believes it will be $80,000. Blake said a rate of 59.218 cents would allow the district to cover its expenses in 1984 if the district sold 6.5 million gallons a day.

Colchester Town Manager Francis J. Taginski said 6.5 million was unrealistic since the district has been selling 6.3 million per day, and only 5.7 million gallons in November. Chairman Peter Jacob of South Burlington said he did not see any big water users coming on line. "I don't want to get so far in a hole that we can't climb out." Commissioner Kennth J. Bosley of Winooski said he was opposed to the extra increase, but Taginski said it was necessary to meet expenses.

He said any extra cash received would mean the district would not have to borrow money and would save on interest. Wayne DeForge, Colchester's other commissioner, moved for approval of the 61.218-cent rate and was seconded by Commissioner Lester C. Brown Jr. of Williston. Bosley continued to object, but the motion passed 5-1.

Taginski said the current budget is not much out of line, except water usage is down. The only account with a serious problem is maintenance, where the district budgeted $9,250, but $15,943 has been spent. Blake said $5,000 expense was caused by lightning hitting the pumping station in Essex. The new rate is the first increase since 1980, according to Blake.
