tkir, I ((Mil 4:10 tol). Ill UI Candidates Get Together The three major candidates for mayor addressed the East Bridgeport Trade and Civic association last night In the Fairway restaurant. Chatting are (left to right) J. Donald Paxlon, president of the association; Hugh C. Curran, Democratic nominee; Harold Socialist, and Edward Dworken, Republican.

I-' East Side Group Hears Rivals in Mayor's Race The three principal candidates for mayor focused their atten- ion on East Side problems at a sponsored by the East Bridgeport Trade and Civic asso- in the Fair- ciatiort last night way restaurant. All three nominees--Democrat Hugh C. Curran, Republican Edward A. Dworken and Socialist Harold Saunders pledged help on such matters as traffic congestion and parking. Mr.

Curran and Mr. Dworken also cited the need for renewal and rehabilitation programs in the area with city assistance. Mr. Curran said the present Democratic city administration ilready has taken steps for East side improvements, but Mr. Dworken disputed this.

Mr. Saunders placed emphasis in the need for merchants to lelp themselves without relying too much on direct city aid. He said overall improvements in the city economy, along lines he advocates regarding the airport and harbor, would insure bene- throughout the community. Mr. Curran and Mr.

Dworken, romising city administration aid "or East Main street area renewal, -said they would seek maximum Federal and state cooperation. Mr. Saunders, chided the businessmen for becoming "a little too fat, a little too lazy." He said, "There is no" Santa Clans; nobody's going to help you but yourselves." Curran Cites Construction Mr. Curran said more than 560 million in new highway, construction in the Bridgeport area will mean a major improvement in East Side traffic patterns which will speed up auto traffic, "making shopping trips happier, less hazardous and less aggravating." He said the city government would work with merchants in the area to provide more off- street parking near stores, and proposed school improvements, a neighborhood renewal project and more recreation and park facilities. He said that all property for a 240-unit senior citizens high-rise apartment in East Washington avenue has been acquired, and con- ilruclion will begin next month.

The new building, he said, "will be a short walk to churches, a five-minute walk to the East Main street shopping area, and only a two-minute walk to Washington park." New lighting in Washington park, he said, will be installed "within the next few weeks" after bids are received. Dworken Calls for Action Mr. Dworken said neighborhood pride and traditional rivalry "can be translated into constructive action for the city." "Competition is healthy, but we want it fair, with equal opportunities for each section of town, ft takes more than progressive merchants. It takes the cooperation which they need and deserve from the administration. "The streets in the East End are dark at night and dirty during the day.

The need is for overall community planning, with maximum slate and federal cooperation," Mr. Dworken said Mr. Saunders told the group: "We have beautiful stores in the East Side." The empty stores can be counted on the fingers of only one hand. That's not the situation downtown, where 50 pairs of haj7ds could not count the empty stores. But you have illusions of grandeur if you think one of the neighborhood stores here can developed instantly into a Read's, Howland's or Korvette's." Mr.

Saunders said "one of the prime objectives of any administration should be jobs and more jobs. If people have jobs, you will have them walking into your stores ready to buy. "If you look to City Hall to help you directly, instead of having Ihe administration work to brini; more jobs into the city, you'll get a return only.on what help you will be providing the political party In power." Traffic congestion and parking In the East Main street area, all candidates agreed, is a serious problem. Mr. Dworken and Mr.

Saunders said land is limited in East Bridgeport, and tearing down buildings and moving families away "is not answer." Mr. Dworken said the "East Side's problem is a community problem, and City Hall can and must help. Improvements must be coordinated with what is be ing done in the downtown area." The city, Mr. Dworken said; is trying to undertake community planning with a staff of five men, one of whom is not a city planner but only informed on zoning. "New Haven has a staff of 150 men to perform this function, Hartford has 60 men, but Bridgeport, comparable in size, is trying to do the job with only five," he said.

"Many homes require rehabili tation or condemnation and destruction," he said. "Slum and blight can be removed, and we can solve our own problem of parking." Mr. Curran said "In this problem, we are partners, and the merchants in any concentrated area such as the city of Bridgeport must be partners in improving traffic flow and "off street parking, the economic vitality of the community. "With the concentrated effort of a group such as the East Bridgeport Trade and Civic association and the cooperation of the city, this problem can be solved." In answering the question, What specific assistance can the city offer landlords and business owners?" Mr. Curran advocated working with the Redevelopment Agency of the city using "not the bulldozer technique, but rehabilitation and newal of buildings that sound, upgrading the area by the removal of blighted buildings." He said obtaining long-term federal or state loans for property owners in an area where the city can help and legally -aid property owners.

Other steps the city can take, Mr. Curran said, is improving the flow of traffic and improving the lighting on lower East Main street. Dworken Hits 'Promises' Mr. Dworken said "The East Main street we are speaking of now with all its problems is the same as it was two years ago and (he same four years ago. All we have heard in the past from the Democratic administration is promises, and that is all we hear no Why Wasn1t done before? We should clean up to enhance the image of our city.

Old houses should be condemned A project was started in this area but it was started by the Diocese of Bridgeport, not by the city administration. Concerning aid to disadvantag- cd children, Mr. Curran said "Bndgerxm is the first city in Connecticut to initiate a pro- pram, and received a $900,000 from the stale, or $80000 a month which covers all pupils the program in the city trom prc-kindergartcn to high school, supt. of Schools Joseph B. Porter had been working for two years paving the way, and Ihe city applied for a grant as it was possible under the In the area of rent Curran said, little can be done.

It is dead issue, killed several years-ago by a Republican Legislature." To prevent rent gouging, he advocated a commission Instituting rent receiverships to control property of slumlords, accepting rents and returning the property to the owner only after improvements have been paid for. Minority Housing Discussed On the question of open occupancy for minority groups, Mr. Curran said "There is no serious problem. Negroea and Puerto Ricans in the population are fast spreading through Ihe city, ob- taining rental housing without difficulty. We have a State Civil Rights Mr.

Dworken said, "We need equal education not only in the underprivileged area, but tor every child--the mentally retarded, the mentally imbalanced. It should become part of our education system." "Where slum landlords are overcharging," Mr. Dworken said, "we might consider instituting rent control." Concerning plans for the Barnum museum, Mr. Saunders said "In the age of the space ship and the atom bomb, we shouli not forget our heritage. The P.

T. Barnum museum is a treasure chest of historic items. The building should be taken down and rebuilt in Seaside park, per mining many more people to view our treasures. If they are not preserved, we would lose a great deal." Mr. Saunders advocated refurbishing Ihe old City Ha about to be vacated, making the first and second floors available for the museum.

Located near 1 the turnpike, he said, it would be simple for hundreds of thousands of people to visit the his toric collection. Mr. Dworken said, "Promises made four years ago were broken when the Archer Wheeler state was not preserved. Our com i ly has grown, but much of its heritage we owe to P. T.

Bar num. We should have some his toric background. If we made a promise, let us keep it. The mu seum should remain where it The meeting was conducted by J. Donald Paxton, president the association.

William L. Hawkins, executive vice president 6l the Chamber of Commerce, in troduced the candidates. The arrangements committee was comprised of Peter Laporta chairman; Edward J. Voccola. Henry Hartley, Elliot Rose, Leonard Trojanowski, Paul Gladstein, Salvatore Studioso, Kenneth 0' Connor, Benjamin Siegel and Sal vatore Asciuto.

CHRISTIE BLASTS LOW TAX CLAIM Declaring that the Democratic administration in Fairfield trying to pull the tax wool over Ihe eyes of the voters," Gordon F. Christie, GOP candidate for Board of Finance, challenged the accuracy of tax statistics cited by the incumbent administration. He said that while the administration has proclaimed and statistics showing Fairfield has lower taxes than most area communities, the actual fact is Fairfield's taxes are higher than most area communities." Using the grand list figures compiled by the University of Connecticut and population estimates of the State Health department, Mr. Christie- said Fair- 'ield's per capita tax is higher Bridgeport, Trumbull, Stratford and Eastern. The per capita tax in Fair field, ho said, is $175.65 compared to Bridgeport's Trumbull's Stratford's $169.94 and Easton's $173.26.

"What the administration lias failed to show in compiling its so-called tax chart comparing area towns is that taxes anno I be compared without equalizing the basis on which the grand lists are assessed," he said. "This has been done by the State Tax department and using the figures we- find thai Fairfield's (axes-are higher than Bridgeport, not lower as claimed by the administration. "Under the slate's equalization figures," he said, "a $20,000 home in Bridgeport would be assessed for $8,930 with the taxes set at $373.27. The same house in Fairfield would be the assessed al lax rale at $14,000 with $379.40." "The difference the administration failed to compute Is that Bridgeport property Is assessed at 1958 value while Fairfield's is based on 1963 value," Mr. Christie Mid.
