D-Ph51a- delphia, who chaired the joint conference committee that, devised -he bill, denied the charges. He said the surplus from the "ast fiscal year, combined with lapsed programs and pending federal revenue sharing, would give the state ample funds to ftnish the year.

GOY. Shapp. according to Seltzer, was coning the measure The upstate Democrats who had sought greater reductions fiaaUy swung into line after the four Democrats on the conference committee agreed to cut SSO million from propos-r-d state aid to county courts. A state-local revenue-sharing plan totaling $73 million was from the beginning the prime target of the predominantly rural bloc. Besides the rc-duction in aid to courts, the committee cut a total of million from mental health programs funded in part by local government.

The largest cut made by the conference committee was 352 million earmarked for public assistance payments. Seitzer charged this cut would require a deficiency appropriation later in the year, but Mullen said he felt that -he welfare department could live 'ntthin the figures.

Council Creates Hospi Clearfield Borough Council presided over the birth of a new authority last night as the Ciearfield Hospital Authority came into being. In a prepared statement oa the need for such a body, hospital board solicitor William Davis told council the action would be essentially for purposes of refinancing hospital. He noted that the authority would not be a governing body, but would operate strictly as a financing board.

The problem, according to Mr. Davis and Hospital President Haroid Von Gunden. is one of high interest rates on current bank loans used to finance ex- panion projects at the hospital. Estimating that refinancing through an authority floated bond issue would save he hospital some S250.000. Mr.

Davis called the action a practical one, both for the hospital board and borough residents. He said that although definite figures were not available at this time, the bond issue would be in the neighborhood of $2,600,000 over approximately a 20 year period. Mr. Davis pointed out that the bond would be a "revenue bond" similar to that of the Water Authority by the fact that all revenue taken into the hospital be ed together to pay off the bond issue. He also noted that the hospital board and authority would oneraie under a ''lease arrangement, with the board leasing the hospital to the authority for financing and the authority sab leasing it back to the hospital board for general management.

Davis said the authority would be created at no cost to the borough, and that the borough would have no liability for the bond issue, as hospital revenue would be pledged to this purpose. Expressing some concern that authority members in future years might overstep strictly financing a aliegated to them, Councilman Samuel DeCaspei questioned the wording of the resolution to create the authority. Mr. DeCasper noted that one clause of the resolution used the words "furnish, improve and maintain" in a listing of the authority's powers. Mr.

responded that the lease back structure prevent such a situation from occurring unless the hospital board a on its responsibility to sub lease the hospital from the authority. In a unanimous vote council adopted the resolution to create the authority and approved a iisi of suggested a i members submitted by the hospital board. They a Harold Bennett, one year term beginning Jan. 1, 1973. W.
