several departments. Blais noted that at the same time the state is cutting aid, it is suggesting that improvements be made to the sewage system. He stressed that if cuts are made in state aid, there should be comparable reductions made in mandated programs. Moreau Agenda Detailed By CAROL WHALEN Correspondent LAKE GEORGE The Village of Lake Georgj may lose $12,000 in state aid for operation and maintenance of the sewage treatment plant this fiscal year and may lose the entire state grant of $25,000 next year. Mayor Robert Blais said that the sudden loss of state funds which will have a "drastic effect" on the budget this year and next was revealed in a letter to the village from Eugene Seebald, director of the Division of Pure Waters, state Department of Environmental Conservation.

Blais said it would mean immediate cuts in services and layoffs of personnel. The letter said because claims of the program had been so large the amount of funds left for government aid for the operation and maintenance of sewage treatment plants was $10 million for the balance of the program. This caused the department to drop the level of aid to communities from 33' per cent of the operation of such plants to 17 per cent. To the Village of Lake George, which will end its fiscal year in June, the cut will mean- that immediate steps must be taken" to cut expenditures, since a large portion of the money has already been spent. Seebald said if the state legislature continues to provide funding for the program, next year with sufficient money, the remaining 16Vi per cent aid for the current year may be sent to the village.

However there is a chance that the program will be eliminated. If so, there will be no more stated funding for the operation and maintenance of the sewage treatment system, a loss of annually compared to past years. Mayor Blais said he was surprised to receive the latter and charged the state with ignoring the concept of partnership between state and local government. Blais also cited this as an example of the problems facing municipalities who have to deal with the sudden elimination of expected state aid which they had anticipated in their budgets, It. will not be possible to" continue the services at their present level with cuts of this sort being made in state aid.

The village board, is meeting in work session on the budget for the coming year and Blais pointed out that cuts must be made if it keeps the tax rate level. These cuts will include the layoff of two out of six employees at the sewage treatment plant which will cut the cost of operating the plant by $12,000. Next year the village officials will look to other departments and services to cut, such as the new truck they intended to purchase.
