The board passed a resolution in August to cover the possibility that Robert F. Goodwin, who had los' contracts in several area towns, might default on the Ellington contract. In other matters, "the board accepted "with regret" the resignation of board member Claire Frier effective Dec.

1. Mrs. Frier, who served seven years on the board, said her decision was based on business and family committments. The Republican Town Committee told the board of its recommendation of Mrs. Catherine MacDut'f to fill the term, which expired in 1575.

ELLINGTON A third bus contract in as many months of this school year was approved Wednesday by the Board of Education. The action, which approved a contract with Jack Beebe School Transportation came two weeks after the board voted to transfer its original contract with the Robert M. Goodwin Bus Service to the Dwight F. Goodwin Bus Inc.

However, the Dwight F. Goodwin Bus Co. never got off the ground, according to board member Margaret Bean, and the board was required to make yet another contract switch. The board began the year with the Robert M. Goodwin Bus Service providing transportation for Eilington children, but decided to transfer the contract to a company owned by Robert Goodwin's son when the elder Cnodwin encountered what board counsel Robert King termed "a pile of financial difficulties."

This was after acting commission Chairman Thomas S.

Mason had read a letter from St.Germain, who was not present, asking that the hearing be cancelled. A group of homeowners from the Vernon Avenue, South Street. Knollwood Drive and Oxbow Drive areas was present to express their objections. In his letter to Mason, StGermain said engineering information is needed, and a January hearing would be arranged. Mason said this means St.

Germain would have to begin the application process all over again, including another application fee. St.Germain, doing business as Hill town Construction had applied for a. hearing or. the project in October, which was advertised. Cancellation of the hearing was in sufficient apartment oroject on the character of the residential neighborhood.

Cummings said this is msde up of single-family homes, but that one small section, apparently left over after homes were completed, had been zoned for multi-family. He termed this a "sleeper for the past several years." While acknowledging that this section is not designed for single homes, opponents, according to Cummings, would challenge any "har-ship" claim on the part of the owner. They consider the present situation is the result of the developer's own maneuvering." Several homeowners asked Cummings if they could petition the Zoning Commission to change the zone designation for the land. He said there is no procedure for a private citizen to take, but a town agency could look into the mat-ter. The commission also was Panel To Hire Sewer Attendant time, however, so that opponents did not attend.

Mason said he only learned of the cancellation of the Thursday night hearing a few hours in advance. Neil Ducharrne of Knollwood Drive, an opponent, said St.Germain is stalling and that "some night it will be railroaded through." Opponents also have cited a conflict of interest, since St.Germain is a member of the Zoning Commission. In such a situation, it is understood a commission member with an interest in the project under consideration" will abstain from any participation in action. Reasons For Opposition Atty. Harold Cummings of Valley View Lane, whose assistance had been asked by some of the opponents, outlined reasons for opposition.

These include concern about the traffic problem on Vernon Avenue, a ledge that would make drainage difficult, and the impact of an elected community committeemen will conduct a county convention to nominate and elect one county committee member and two alternates.

Opposes Home Construction asked by George E. Risley and Atty. Leon Podrove, representing Goodrich Plaza, to reconsider several stipulations made in connection with approval of the plaza, now under construction off Rt. 30. The zoners were asked to either postpone sidewalk construction on Rt.

30, accept funds for later construction, or allow the developers to put in temporary' sidewalks. The reason for the request was that the state has plans to rework Rt. 30 and, if sidewalks were put in now. they could be ruined. Mason agreed to call a special meeting to consider the sidewalk request.

At that time, a request to lower the present performance bond of $250,000 also will be considered. -0- Wallpaper Sale. Over 600 books all reduced up to 50. Pick a Color, Route Vernon. -O- Fresh dressed native capons, delivery service available.
