The decrease in the planned budget total is due to the Board of Education's decision not to accept School Superintendent Sam J. Leone's proposal to close Stevens School next year and move its students to Slye School. Also, he proposed sending Center School's sixth, seventh and eighth graders to O'Brien Middle School.

If approved, officials anticipated $149,480 would be available for other uses. The proposals drew organized protests from parents of students at all three affected schools and also sparked 3 Persons Arrested After Brawl Erupts NEW BRITAIN A brawl in a Broad Street bar early Sunday morning led to the arrests of two men and a woman on a variety of charges, police said.

The group will be led by two trained members of the Newington Education Enrichment Development and Support Program.

Last week, the preliminary results of water samples taken in the area of indicated that well water is not pof-luted although minute traces of the solvent toluene were found. Those traces, however, were so small that they could not be measured accurately, town officials said. Meanwhile, the state Department of Environmental Protection, which also has ordered a halt to the lagoon operation, continues to monitor the clean up of the area, said Patrick Bowe of the DEP's hazardous materials management unit. officials have stressed that they intend to cooperate with both the town and the state.

The council has requested an analysis of a portion of the sewer sludge known as "GGSS" grit, grease, screenings and skimmings organic substances that were not burned in the sludge incineration process. The GGSS forms about 20 percent of the sludge. Town Manager Dana Whitman Jr. said the Henry Souther Laboratories Inc. of Bloomfield can perform a toxicity test, which will determine the heavy metal content of the GGSS.

Discussion Sessions NEWINGTON The school system is establishing a series of discussion sessions for parents and other interested adults who "share the joys, frustrations and pressures associated with rearing children in today's complex society," Peter D. Cimini, supervisor of health, physical education and ath cles and large, empty trash containers, he said. In addition, he said, the commission's approval allowed storage of those items on only one-third of the property. DeMallie said the property is nearly covered with material authorized and unauthorized including about 800 50-gallon drums, some of them filled.

"Clearly, they exceeded their authority to store," he said. The storage of industrial waste on the site violates local regulations that permit only the storage of waste generated on the premises, DeMallie said. Many of the drums now on the site contain latex waste and viscose, another industrial waste, company officials have said. The company also lacks local permission to store large refuse containers some of them full but most empty across tne street on the property of Ernest Reichle, DeMallie said. DeMallie's letter also includes an or- Sanitation Firm Ordered To Clear Site Our test to you for the holidays.

Town Planner Peter DeMallie, who is acting as zoning enforcement officer, said his letter is the result of an inspection made earlier this month following reports that industrial waste was being stored illegally on the three-acre site. DeMallie said the property, which he described as similar in some ways to a landfill, is scattered with mattresses, box springs, paper products, abandoned vehicles and discarded appliances.

Those items violate the Planning and Zoning Commission's site plan approval for the company's headquarters, which limited outside storage to vehi- tem-lm Quality components at the right price. 642 Silas Deane Wethersfield 563-4449 Corbins Corner Shopping Center, West Hartford 521 -4430 In Connecticut: new Haven.
