Berdon ruled Tuesday that the state's Home Rule act does not empower towns to limit the age of municipal office holders. The law states that must he a registered voter in Ihe municipality to hold elec- (. live office there.

Persons 18 and older were made eligible to become electors in 1971. The ruling means that Kevin Canavan, a June graduate of Georgetown university, is free to enter a primary Sept. 25 against the endorsed Democrat- ic mayoral candidate, Anthony Proto Jr. The winner would op- pose three-term Republican Mayor Frank Messina. Petitions on File Canavan filed his primary peti- tions by the Tuesday deadline and plans to continue his fight.

Town Attorney Hugh Keefe said the Democratic Town com; mittee was informed of the rul- ing Tuesday night but took no action to appeal the decision. Canavan's attorney, Thayer Baldwin, was directed 5 form all town clerks in the state of the court decision because of the impact it might have elsewhere. A court i spokesman, however, said the only response was a request from the town of Vernon for a memorandum of decision. utility had requested rate increases of $183,962,000 annually on Aug. 1972.

The rate increase was about million annually above the temporary rate in effect while the PSC made up its mind about the new permanent rates.

Rate increases for thousands small commercial customers vill be less than their tempora- rate boosts; therefore, more han 255,000 of them will quali- for refunds ranging up to 7.91 per month for the period hat Uie temporary rates have been in effect. For another 85,000 customers the small commercial here will be no refunds bui their new permanent rates wil cost them no more than per month' above the presen rates, the commission said. As a result of the elimination of big-customer discounts to reallocate rates among al classes of customers, the means those rates including the temporary increase granted last December.
