ROGERS STATEMENT ON NEW bLEACHEnS
Says Guarant0rS of Note Do Not
 Neel Sympathy

Paul K. Rogers treasurer of the New Britain Athletic association and a member of the park board, today took exception to news articles and an editorial printed in the Her aid concerning the question Of fi- nanclng the hlcaCherS erected at Willow Brook park athletic field. He declared that there is no occasion yet for sympathy to be offered to the guarantors of the note held by the New Britain Trust Co.," Mr. Rogers statement follows:
 My only reason for asking space for this letter is that l desire to cor rect an erroneous impression that might be obtained by one from read ing the article headed Park Board Seeks Interest Payment, Sees Little Chance However of Getting Money for Bleachers' in Wednesdays Her aid, and the editorial entitled Prom isinS Estimates and the Bleachers' in last nights Herald. l also wish to allay the worries of any of the guarantOrS of the note of the New Britain Athletic Association which might be caused by these articles.
 The park board has received a check from the authorities in charge of the high school athletic funds for 1OGo of the gate receipts, the same percentage as paid to the park board in years past for the use of the athletic field. When the bleachers were requested earlier in the year, representatives of the school board indicated that a larger sum than this could be paid If ample bleachers Were provided. At a meeting Of the park board Tuesday evening the matter came up and the writer tele- phoncd to one of the members of the school board who had urged the purchase of the bleachers to ask him if an additional payment would not be made. The reply from the member of the school board was that he had not been in touch with that particular matter recently but felt quite sure that some provision could bc made for additional pay ment Mr. Butler a Herald report er. who is also a member Of the school board was present at the meeting of the park board in his re- portorial capacity and when he was asked his opinion replied most en- phatically that no further payments would be made.
 Tt is my impression that the quo tation given as coming from nom Der of the school board were MT. Buffers own words.
 Since Tuesday evening the writer has seen number of members Of the schoo! board including MT. King, the chairman, and Mir. Young. the president of the New Britain Athlcl- ic Association and they have all stated positively that it is their de- sire to pay to the Athletic As ocla- ton the amount sufficient to cover interest, and that funds are avail able and will be paid In due course.
 "It would therefore seem that Mir. Buffers article and also the editor ill in last nights paper were ilI- timed and there Is no occasion yet for sympathy to be offered to the guarantors Of the note held by the New Britain Trust O."
