BRISTOL The Board of Education will know by its Aug. 20 meeting if the 1974-75 school year deficit will exceed a $425,000 special appropriation already approved by the Board of nance.

Assistant School Supt. for a Business John E. Smith said Saturday final spending figures are not yet available for the school year which ended June 30. He said the figures will be ready for the next board meeting, however, which has been rescheduled from Wednesday to Aug. 20.

"I really don't know at this time" if the school syshas overspent the $425,000 deficit previously covered by the finance School Spending Bristol board, Smith said. "I would hesitate to even give an of final spending figures, he said. Processing Slow Preparation of complete spending data has been down because bills still are being received for "things ordered prior to June 30, Smith said. "Out data processing center is really overworked right now," further complicating the picture, he said. More than $350,000 of the projected $425,000 deficit was incurred in state-mandated special education program accounts, Smith said.

About $1.4 million in special education spending has been planned for in the 1975-76 school budget, he said, while only about $1 million was covered in the 1974-75 budget. The total 1974-75 school budget was about $11.6 million, and the finance board has allocated about $11.8 million for the coming school year. Repeats Stand Finance Board Chairman Richard Lamothe repeated his board's stand Saturday that budget overruns will not be tolerated i in any departmental budget in the next Warrant Out for 2nd Rape Suspect BRISTOL A warrant has been issued for a second suspect in the alleged rapes of two local women early this week, state police said Saturday. The suspect has been arrested on unrelated charges by another police department and is being detained at the Hartford Correctional Center, said state police at the Canaan barracks. The warrant cannot be served until the suspect is freed on bond or the pending case is otherwise disposed of, police said.

Already charged with first-degree rape and firstdegree kidnapping in the case is Gary E. Zapor, 27, of 54 Royal Oak Road, New Britain. The women who filed the complaint said they were hitchhiking from Barkhamsted to Bristol Tuesday afternoon when they were picked up by two men, taken to West Hartland and raped. The women later were treated at the Bristol Hospital and released. Rival 'Advises' Longo To Leave Mayorship BRISTOL Frank J.

Longo has "lost his courage to make important should step down for the good of the city," independent mayoral candidate Louis Marietta said Saturday. "The municipal employes are unhappy, the police are ready to march and the taxpayer is in a critical condition" because of the 7.2 per cent tax hike this year, Marietta said. "Worst of all," Marietta said, is that Mayor Longo "keeps calling press conferences. He just can't make up his mind about running for mayor" as a Democrat or on a third-party ticket. Longo was unavailable for comment Saturday.

A third-party candidacy for Longo is "definitely out." Marietta said. "I am there and he knows it."

A school deficit more than the anticipated $425,000 will be covered this year by the finance board, he said, although officials don't expect final spending figures will vary too much from the prode jected deficit. LaMothe said school officials, at the finance board's request, have come up with a plan designed to control spending in the school system. The plan establishes a spending limit for each month of the 12-month budget year, he said, and overspending in one month will be compensated for in the next month. "As it's implemented, it will keep a close, running count on the budget and there will be no astronomical, unforeseen deficit at the end of the year" like that experienced this year, he said. The plan should make it easier to determine if too much money is being spent, LaMothe said, and finance board members hope school officials "will be able to stay within the budget using this Church Concert Will Feature Sacred Music BRISTOL A concert of sacred music sponsored by the Grace Baptist Church and featuring the Dick Anthony family will be Monday at 7:30 p.m.
