Advt, NEW BRITAIN, Oct. 1 (Spe-! cial) A Ihree-member liaison group on the city's school con struction committee told tne Board of Finance and Taxation late Monday that sayings of at least $300,000 could be effected bv a revision of plans for a new junior high school in the Steele Street area.

The construction contract for the school, which will eventually replace the. present Central Jr. High School, totals $2,149,000. Equipment, furnishings and oth er costs raise this figure to $2,481,095, an expenditure city fiscal leaders believe will place too much of a burden on the taxpayers. After more than two hours of discussion of construction costs, finance board members agreed to meet again Wednesday at 4 p.m.

with members of the school board and the board's educa tional consultant. Dr. Leo T. Doherly. At this session, the finance commissioners agreed a decision should be made on just how much the city can afford to pay for a new junior high school and present plans tor the Building should then be revamped to meet this estimate.

Monday's meeting, the second in four days on the junior high school construction program, was held without two top school officials who were scheduled to attend the session School Board Chairman Frank J. DiLoreto said Monday night that, because of the absence of School Supt. T. Joseph McCook from the citv. it was agreed earlier in the day that only the attendance of the three-member liaison group would be required at the meeting.

Spaulding Warner of the liaison group told the finance commissioners a number of his committee recommendations for changes in specifica tions to effect savings in the new junior high school went unheeded. He said the committee's rec ommendation to eliminate sky domes in the new building, which he estimated would save between $30,000 to $40,000, was ignored as wa a suggestion to make use of natural gas available from a pipe line running oast the new school site, Also rejected, he said, was a suggestion to relocate the scnooi ably shorten utility lines as well as a proposal lo eliminate water pi-offing from the specifications 1 which, tie oeciarco, couiu resuu in a $40,000 savin The committee, he said, proposed a smooth surface rather than a gravel roof without success and found that a small brick wall, costing between $500 and $600, and located near the cafeteria in the new school was "serving no useful purpose'' other than a "decorative" one.

The committee, he said, was also opposed to a "costly" concrete grooving treatment for the outside walls of the gymnasium and. Warner declared, the use of less costly mesh could save liom eigiu io nine ui The architect aid accept a committee recommendation to use curbs of city standards rather than more costly precast- ones.

The committee, he said, is also recommending use of less expensive road materials for parking areas at the new school- It wants the seeding work done as a separate contract and claims some site work and building permit costs should be charged td another account rather than the school building contract.
