The commission received a letter from the Metropolitan District Commission concerning a request to use land on Rt 181 as a ballfield and for skating in the winter. According to a spokesman the letter did not definitely deny the request nor approve it By JACK BOURQUE WINSTED The Board of Selectmen Monday night decided te seek bids for correcting the fire, safety and health code violations at the town's four schools before setting a referendum to gain voter approval for the work. The decision was based on the recommendation of Town Manager Dennis F. Moore who said he felt insecure calling for a referendum without actual cost figures. He said the referendum could be set after the bids are received.

That could be some time in the first week in July, Moore said. had given the commission and the town's Bicentennial Commission the fountain as a joint project But Conservation Commission members said the town sides were at odds to the construction project's scope. The selectmen said since the Conservation Commission originally had the project given to them about two years ago, it should continue to develop the fountain.

He said getting the definite cost for the work would be safer than basing the referendum question on estimates supplied by the architects. Fountain During the meeting, selectmen decided to return the construction of a water fountain for the Soldiers' Monument on Crown Street to the Conservation Commission. The selectmen previously At the end of the transition year, pupils in the class will progress to a normal Grade 1 program, Bennett said.

Some exceptions will be made in the transition program to allow a few pupils to transfer to a regular Grade 1 room during the year or, in some cases, to transfer to a regular Grade 2 room at the end of the transition year, he said. Bennett said Money for for one of the Grade 1 classes that will be eliminated by the use of a transition class will be utilized to purchase some specialized material. Parent Involvement The class will involve between 15 and 18 children during a regular school day. A heavy emphasis of parent involvement in school activities, including establishing a parent-volunteer aide team, will be part of the transition class, Bennett said. One of the purposes for beginning the class is to locate children headed for later difficulties early in their schooling and to provide learning situations suitable to individual learning needs and abilities, Bennett said.

Remove Failure The transition class hopefully will remove the possibility of failure and will provide favorable attitudes towards school, develop skills formerly overshadowed by Pond Funding Mapped Out Manchester said the selectmen should drop all other action until the issue is resolved. The selectmen this year, or the first time in the town's history, voted to set a single tax for the entire town.

The board tabled filling a position on the Economic Development Commission.

Selectman Thomas E. San-toro motioned the position not be filled to keep an odd number of members on the commission. The commission previously had 10 members.
