Application for these funds will be made soon. Graham warned, however, there is no assurance the town would get this high percentage, adding the need and costs are decisive factors in the amount doled out.

Council approved an ordinance aimed at alleviating parking and traffic hazards at the Newville Playground. The ordinance prohibits parking on either side of the road adjacent to the playground, West Cove Alley. It also makes a small intersecting street, known as School House Lane, one-way north from Main Street to Cove. Council authorized the engineering firm of Morris-Knowles to provide plans for a 12-inch water line from Cool Spring to the town water plant. The estimated cost of the project is $20,000, and the engineers are asked to recommend methods of repayment.

The possibility of a 10 per cent water rate hike was suggested, but no action taken.

Helene Wohlgemuth, secretary of welfare, announced some 200,000 public assistance recipients will not receive their checks this week as scheduled. The state treasurer's office is not authorized to write checks out of the General Fund without a budget. State Treasurer Grace M. Sloan said she still has the power to write checks out of special funds, such as the unemployment compensation fund. She said her department now is writing 50,000 checks a day compared to 110,000 under normal circumstances.

"There will be payless paydays for General Fund state employees and for recipients of public assistance benefits," Mrs. Sloan said. "Obviously, since we process 40,000 welfare checks daily and approximately 25,000 employee salary checks daily, a backlog will begin amassing as of today. Gov. Milton J.

A communique from President Georges Pompidou's office said Chaban-Delmas submitted his and his cabinet's resignation to the chief executive after today's weekly cabinet session. The president accepted the resignations and thanked the Premier for the task he has accomplished during his three years in office, the Elysee Presidential Palace communique said. Chaban-Delmas' resignation was timed to allow Pompidou to set up a new cabinet to lead the bickering Gaullist coalition into its forthcoming critical confrontation with the Communist-Socialist "popular front" opposition alliance in the general elections, political sources said.

Pompidou did not immediately announce who will replace the outgoing prime minister. He scheduled urgent consultations with Defense Minister Michel Debre and other Gaullist coalition leaders for later in the day. Chaban-Delmas' resignation has long been rumored and officially denied.

Pompidou's move was taken by political observers to mean he is accepting the challenge raise by the new Communist-Socialist alliance.
