Senate Deputy Majority Leader William Conklin today charged that, contrary to Gov. Hugh Carey's claims, ltiL proposed $750 million economic development bond issue would do i lo develop the state's economy. He lauded a state Appellate Division decision that the bond issue's spending authorisation was too broad, making it unconstitutional, a i i which would remove it from the Nov. 8 ballot. An appeal by state will be argued Tuesday before the Court of Appeals.

Conklin said a study of the projects slated lo be funded under the bond issue showed that less than 18 percent of total expenditures would be used for projects that would have any "long-term effect on the economy or could be said to prompt jobs in the private 1 seelur." I a more a 52 per cent of total spending under the bond issue would support trans- a i projects, i ing street re-paving, subway maintenance, and a i signals, i i i said. Further, of the 903 projects listed for funding, 318 involved recreation a i i i i i 35 swimming pools. a of these projects are inaccessible to anyone but municipal residents, his study slKmeit. Water, sewage and flood projects constituted 18 percent of total project costs, but few would contribute lo long-term jobs, Conklin added. Urging voters to rejecl the proposition if it appeared on the ballot.

Conklin said, "Approval of Ihis bond issue would commit the state to an expenditure of SI.5 billion, which includes interest paid on the honris. That is approximately S60 million per year for 25 years. And that is a great price pa for ispla priorities in the Carey bond plan. "The public deserves more for its money from Ihis election-year bond issue 'slush which Mr. Carey hopes ihey will approve." he said.

(UP1 -Lawyers for Ihe stale will go to the Court of Appeals Tuesday in a last-ditch effort lo keep Gov. Hugh Carey's $750 million economic developmenl bond issue on the Nov. 8 ballot. The appeal was filed Wednesday, only hours aflcr the Appellate Division ruled 4-1 thai the bond issue was unconstsitutional because of iis broad scope. The decision upheld a ruling issued lasl week by slate Supreme Court Justice Edward Con way.

The Appellate Division con- finned Con way's i i lltal the slate constitution prohibits bond issues from authorizing spending for more than a single purpose. The challenge had been filed by the New York Public Interest group. In a decision i 11 en John i tin- inlermcdiate court said the proposition clearly authorized spending for "four separate and disparate purposes:" industrial and community development, conservation and environment, tourism ami recreation, and locallransporlation access. The state had argued that the Ixxiil issue authorized spending for the single purpose of "comprehensive economic development." But the court saiii a intiTpr eta lion ren- dered the constitutional limita- lion "meaningless." To agree with the state "would permit the legislature by the use of semantics to evade Ihe constitutional restriction on its power lo incur long- lerm Iwnd indebtedness and lump three or four different purposes into one bond authorization in order to gain support Eroni adherent of each to approve the authorization," the court said. "This is exactly what Ibc a of the constitution sought lo restrict and prohibit." it added.

Justice A. a i Ma honey dissented, arguing that because the court had no power lo compel the stale Board of Elections to i the bond issue or have it removed from the ballot, consideration of the matter should tx? delayed until after the election. I a a conceded that in many areas it was too lale lo lake Ilic issue off Ihe ballot, bul noted that if the proposition were declared unconstitutional, a Board of Elections could simply not tally the votes. The Appellate Division modified one aspect of Conway's decision, ruling that NYPIRCJ should not be reimbursed for its attorney's fees in bringing the Power Authority Audit Is Critical ALBANV. (UP!) A failure by the Power Authority of the State of New York to properly invest cash balances resulted in a loss of $185,000 in interest payments in the past iwo years, a stale audit released today said.

Auditors in the office of state Comptroller A Levitt also cook the authority to task for frequently purchasing short- term notes, which paid lower interest rales, ami which had to be rolled over requently. They thai ASN dev el op a "cash forecasting" system lo more effectively manage its investment portfolio and available cash reserves.

It lias six power plants in operation and nas applied for permission to I mild three more generating facilities. The a i sells its power to private, as well as municipal, utilities.

The audit said PASSY pays Citibank more than $60.000 a ear to service certain ger.oral fund accounts but is not required to maintain a minimum balance. Rather than keeping only small amounts in those accounts for daily use. "we found that the authority allowed millions of dollars to go uninvested for 1 periods." the audit said, resulting in large losses of interest income. They also said PASNY had not developed a process for "scheduling the a i dr-tes of investments to coincide with their cash payment needs It said between January 1975 to December 197S. 60 percent of 128 investments purchased were rolled over al least once, and 25 percent were rolled over than three times.
