The board approved the budget figure of $40,000 for electrici the Board of Finance's job to insert something into the budget after it had been cut by the council. He said, however, the estimated cost this year is "up 50 per cent over two years ago. God help us if we put it off much longer," he said. Pollution Control The city's recently constructed water pollution control plant No.

It the environment, pollu tion control," the mayor adding that judging by present and future government controls, "it's just the beginning. Kelly questioned the amount asked to pay the electrical bill were talking about, said of the new lights, you mean those new big ugly things?" The board cut the gasoline al lotment for the sanitary landfill request in half from $2,000 to $1,000, before approving that re quest.

Other departmental midget requests approved included: Burrville Pollution Control Plant No. 1, sewer maintenance, engineering, public works ad ministration, elections, parks, planning and zoning, Civil De fense, sanitary landfill, city wel fare, insurance, and a $200,000 contingency fund. Remaining to be discussed are: recreation, parking authority, health (includes the garbage contract not yet awarded), Board of Education (not yet submitted) and the second part of the budget which will include the amount for school site acquisition on the east side. These, with the exception of the school budget, will be dis cussed at a meeting April 7, scheduled at 11 a.m. after dis cussion of the school budget, to be submitted before April 14.

Despite expressions of doubt, the meeting was left open to tne press. The -13-page budgetary request used by board mem bers, was not given to the press upon request, however. Under the requested item for boards and commissions, board members approved a $3,000 in crease above the initial request from the Industnd Develop ment Commission, bringing the total commission request to $5,000. It was explained the increase was because of the recent change in prposed location of the city's industrial park.

The total request for boards and commissions was said to be $46,330. The City Council deleted a request for aerial mapping expenses from the assessor's budget. One town, according to Mayor Frederick P. Daley had just spent $110,000 for such a project. I Commissioner Edward Buzzi said he would be in favor of aerial mapping if he could see a guarantee that the money would be returned to the city through tax assessment within five years "like industry does it." Commissioner Thomas Kelly seemed worried over the cut, but said he didn't believe it was we can do about it?" Electric Bill Comptroller Dino Borghesi, who was eplaining each item as it came up, said the average electric bill per month at plant No.

1 had been $3,300. Daley said the city is going to install more light switches at the plant so that all the lights connected to a present switch would not have to be used should only one or two be necessary. Commissioner Joseph Cravan-zola said payroll, overtime, extra help and foreman's expenditures takes up more than 50 per cent of the total request. Kelly said there were only three em ployes when the facility opened! during the last fiscal year a number that now has grown to 18. It was said that the council had chopped $3,000 from the state Rep.

Addo E. Bonetti at a recent council meeting. Bonetti said that approaching cars could not determine that an intersection was there at night. He said the fact that a turn could be made there to get to Charlotte Hungerford Hospital was not made obvious. In the letter from the bureau, it was stated the average daily traffic on Rt.

Coming in an eastbound direction, the letter stated, there is a approaching intersection warning sign which applies to the Weed Street-Rt. 25 intersection, but none for the Litchfield Street intersection.
