penditures) that the district will have little no balance if the Legislature approves the 5 per cent cut in State Aid for this school year," the report said. The report emphasised that, "In order to meet known financial commitments, all purchase orders and requests for expenditures are placed in a "HOLD POSITION', effective Feb. 3, until more definite information is received on the financial crisis in the state of New York." Mr. Guile explained he took this action after receiving a letter from Herbert F. Johnson, Associate Commissioner for Educational Finance and Management Services in the State Education Department.

Mr. Johnson's letter explains the possible effects of the 5 per cent aid cut. "Districts and boards are advised that the proposed reduction would affect the current 1968-69 school year budget," the letter said. "The reduction would apply to all payments of state aid to school districts, boards of cooperative educational services and county vocational education and extension boards," according to Mr. Johnson's letter.

The Tioga County School Board Association is to meet Feb. 20 at Newark Valley with Assemblywoman Constance E. Cook of Ithaca and Senator William T. Smith of Big Flats who represent the area in the State Legislature. The meeting will be at the Newark Valley School at 8 p.

m. Louis Pistolese, assistant superintendent, said the representatives of the schools in the county will explain the results of a cut in state aid to their representatives in the Legislature. The areas the aid cut would affect include: operating expense, growth aid, size correction, aid, building aid, transportation aid, reorganization incentive aid, save-harmless aid, and grants for special state aid funds; urban education, integration, pre-kinder-garten, Project ABLE, Project STEP, educational television in schools, experimentation and innovation, extended school year, summer migrant, and welfare literacy. Many of these areas are special projects that apply in the large cities rather than Tioga County, Mr. Guile said.

Mr. Pistolese said last week that more than 75 per cent of the school budget is included in the programs which are state funded. Dangles $15 Million Payroll Unit, Ithaca Mayor OK Bress Bureau Owego In a letter sent to about 500 registered voters in the Village of Owego, Richard Gannon has claimed the voters will get no benefit by electing either Richard Corn-well or Robert Redfern as trustee in the first ward. Mr. Gannon is running as an independent for the First 'Ward seat now held by Mr.

Cornwell. "Electing an additional Peoples Party candidate accomplishes little because they already have a majority on the Aboard," he said. "Electing a Citizens Party 'candidate will not give them a majority on the board," he 'added. "SO ONE PARTY can't get the other party doesn't need," he said, adding, "This, then, would be the right time for an independent to be elected and this is the step I hope you will make." In answer to the platform released last week by the Citizen's Party, Mr. Gannon said, "My five points of concern (have been made public) "I would not want you to think these points delimit my concern over street repair, TV Cable, Fire Department equipment, parking, Emergency Squad, playgrounds, and general grievances." Mr.

Gannon has released a statement calling for a public debate to include all seven' candidates for the Board of Trustees. as possible. THEY WERE TWO of 200 business, professional, government and labor representa-t i who met in the auditorium near Ithaca. Also present were representatives of the Citizens Committee to Save Cayuga, who still expressed skepticism over the amount of pollution the lake would undergo as a result of operation of the nuclear plant. After Frank X.

Carney, project manager for the company, had talked about the $15,000,000 payroll and the millions involved in buying materials and supplies in the Ith-aca-Cortland area, Mr. Cortright told a reporter: Electronics Gannon RICHARD GANNON The statement reads: "I PROPOSE a general public debate where the candidates for the office of village trustee define positions and issues, offer up brief rebuttal, and answer questions from the audience. It should be a polite forum not subject to partisan attack. "AH candidates seeking office should open up their entire position; those in office should be ready to defend their records. "Perhaps a community organization should sponsor the debate and introduce speakers.

I am willing to appear on any logical format." Mr. Gannon is running for the seat now held by Mr. Corn-well, who was elected by the Citizens Party. Mr. Redfern is now the Citizens Party candidate for the First Ward seat and Mr.

Corn-well is the Peoples Party candidate for the position. Mr. Gannon reminded village voters in his letter that March 1 is the last day to register for the election. queathed all but $1,500 to charity and his church. Mr.

Comey, executive director, and Professor Clarence Carlson, a fish biologist at Cornell University.

AFTER JAMES M. SMITH, a radiology expert for the General Electric told the meeting radioactive discharge from the plant would be far below what the AEC allows for human tolerance, Professor Carlson again, as he has in the past, protested that there is no assurance that the discharge will not harm aquatic wildlife. Mr. Smith said that the AEC research for 25 years has included effects on aquatic life. Mr.

Carney, saying that between 800 and 900 men will have jobs building the plant, spent several minutes at yesterday's meeting stressing the economic effect of the plant, to be called the Bell Station after board chairman Joseph Bell, on the Ithaca area. He said-that perhaps 100 of these will be rooming and boarding in Ithaca. The Candle H' hnp Th rtd noust on Roule No. u. tut halfway paint belwtsn till ttwns at 0q ABalachia, Ntw York.

Mayor Kiley, whose profession is general insurance, said after the meeting: "I don't see anything that should stop the building of the plant.
