Dobelle urged residents not to pay as a protest against what he considered an illegal rate hike. Now the state attorney general's office has gone to court to try to prove that the increase was illegal.

Dobelle said today that Asst. Atty. Gen. Terrance O'Malley has assured him that if the slate wins, anyone who paid the added fee will get his or her money back plus interest Dobelle, however, said he personally plans to continue paying at the old rate O'Malley contends the increase was imposed unilaterally by Warner Cable, bypassing what he considers the rate-setting responsibilities of the mayor and Dalton Selectmen.

He also cited a state law which frees landowners of liability if they turn over their land to Hie public for recreational -use "As far as I concerned." he said, This absolves Hie town of any liability." He and O'Connor differ on whether the lake can be considered "land" under that law. Apkin said there has been some discussion of Hie town's obtaining insurance for the lake.

But Selectmen Chairman Harvey J. Daniels spoke up, saying, "I have not endorsed any heavy expenditure for insurance." He said he considered "several hundred dollars as "heavy." One man asked about liability in cases of events like -snowmobile races for which entrants are charged fees. Apkin said permission to hold such races would have to be obtained from the Selectmen and that the contest holders would have to put up insurance coverage for liability. 1 ALBANY, NY.
