MAYOR STILL CONSIDERS
 VETO ON SALARY RAISES
May Take Advantage of Full Time Allowed By Law Before
 Acting

Mayor A. II. Paonessa will probably avail himself of the full period allow ed by the charter to consider the salary increases voted at the last ses- sion of the common council, and while it is being taken as foregone conclusion that sweeping veto will be made by the mayor. it is not likely that definite announcement will em- anate from the mayors office for several days at least.
 The charter provides that the mayor shall, within 10 days after the pa ssage of a resolution, sign the resolution and make it effective or he shall dis approve the resolution, stating his reasons for such disapproyal. and it shall be nreseaied to the common council at its next meeting. If the mayor does not sign or veto. the reso- lution becomes effective automatically, the same as though approved.
 Mayor Paonessa refuses to commit himself on the matter of salary in- creases. It is understood, however, that he was greatly displeased with the action of the council in turning. down some of the petitions for raises and that he will not approve the action.

 At any event, he plans | conference with Corporation Counsel John H. kirkham npon the latter's return from Hartford this afternoon.

 The mayor is of the opinion that the Hartford aldermen made a mis- take. but he feels that if there Is a dispute on that account it should be confined to Hartford and the rest of the state should not suffer.
 If is not likely that d special meet ing Of the common council will be called 10 take action. Mayor Paon- essa believes a resolution drafted by the corporation counsel can be pre- sented 10 the public utilities eommls- sion and he feels that that body will. agree to q public hearing at which the city of New Britain and patrons of the Connecticut company may be heard.
 The mayor is planning to communi- cate with mayors of other connecti. cut cities through which the company operates lines and endeayor to bring about some united action in protest against the increased rates.
