EXTRA TAX TO OFFSET
 DEPARTMENT DEFICITS
Levy or 1A Mills Anticipa- ted at Meeting of Board
 of Finance

At meeting of the board of finance and taxation called bp Mayor A. M. Paonessa for next Friday evening at
 o'clock at his office in City hall, ac- tion will be taken on recommenda- ton for the levy of one and three quarters mill tax to take care of an- ticipated deficits of $143,oOO.
 The tax, if approved, will be rec- commended to the common council and then to the city meeting board for final action. If that body approves, and officials point out that either ap- proval must be had or the city can not pay it's salaries, the tax will be levied against next years grand list.
 Discussing the situation this morn- ing, Mayor Paonessa stated that had the school committee not been so lavish in it's expenditures, there would be necessity for little or no extra tax, even though the 10 per cent salary cuts calculated by the city meeting school departments deficit was S115,- 900, and of this amount 10 per cent of the salary list, or $50,000 was oc- casioned by the payment of salaries greater than the budget called for, he explains. The remaining $65,00O de- flcit was made up in other ways. The combined deficit for all other city de- partments, including grant for the of the Rocky Hill sani- .arium, was only s2S,0o0. This, the mayor believes could have been aken care of by transfers from vari- ,us other funds and without tax evy.
 At Friday nights meeting of the board of finance it is expected that Iohn C. Loonlis, one of Mayor Paones- as appointees, will be elected chair nan, succeeding F. s. Chamberlain | vho has retired after IT years of | ervice.

MAYOR SOUNDS TOCSIN ON
 ''NEW HAVEN" ROADS PLAN
Disapproves of Proposed Highway and Urges New Britain To March
 in Force To Hearing

Mayor A. M Paonessa today issued
 an appeal to city officials, business
 men, automobilists and all private
 citizens who are interested in the elimination of the grade crossing at Clayton, to attend a hearing at the
 office of the public utilities commits sion in Hartford, January 26, and register disapproval with the New
 Haven roads proposal to have a new highway constructed, as con- tinuation of East streetg parall.l to the tracks, and thereby avoid the ne- cessity of bridging the tracks
 The proposal for a new highway was made at second hearing on the Clayton crossing, January D, ct the office of the utilities commission. which has already ordered tlimina- ton of the crossing. As explained by the railroad company, the new road would run distance of 4.t00 feet from East street 10 Wethersfleld road in Newington. The Clayton crossing would then be fenced off SO that it would no longer be in use. In this way. it was argued. the East street railroad crossing and the Clayton crossing. both Of which are ,inguard- ed, would be eliminated.
 The opponents of this movement argue that it would restrict the growth of that section and decrease the value Of the land. also rendering useless a highway that is now traversed by many.
