lCNePIdilCt ol the DuG2et as printed, with the addition Of s2, 800 for per- manent state aid road work. MI Seymour asked if il would not be better 10 refer the budget to the new board or finance for review and have 1t brought before an adjourned meeting. Selectmln Simpson op- posed this, but Henry Trumbull sup ported MT. Seymour. saying that it would be best to let the finance body go over the budget If any further additions were to be made. It was this support from Mir. Trumbull which later cost Mr. Seymour the loss Of his proposals, for he did not answer when the chamber of con- merce president asked if there were any further expenditures contem- plated Chairman Prior speaking as an old seleCtman, said MT. Simp- son should be allowed to go ahead without the intervention of the town finance committee, and the motion was carried.
 On motion Of MT. Gwillim. 1t was voted 10 authorize the selectmen to borrow up to $90,000 to meet Cur- rent expenses until the tax receipts come in in the spring.
 The salary Question
 Mir. Seymour then asked that his salary question be discussed. but Chairman Prior had no written reso- luton on the matter. MT. Seymour said that former First Selectman JoAn J. kimmel had been given copy Of the resolution 10 include in the call for the meeting. but MT. kimmel is il Canada and no trace Of the resolution could be found At the chairman's request, Mir. Seymour prepared a new resolution on the spot.
 Glr Trumbull asked for "enlight- enment' on the proposals and Mir. Seymour said the first selectmans position was now full-time one and was worth more than s25 q week. Nathan Alpert spoke against the in- crease. arguing that the mayor of New l--;i-li1 received only s2,500 year lor administering much iarg- CT place than Plainville. Mir. Albert was exactly 5000 short of the actual salary of the Hardware City's chief executive.
 Schuyler P. Williams asked If the proposed increases had been taken into account in preparing the budg- at and Henry Irumbull asked that the proposal be deferred to the board Of finance, which could con- sider 1t in connection with the sal aries of all other town officials. Nathan Albert took the floor again to read some of the estimated eX- penditures, giving the total budget for the coming year as TIT dollars and 31025 cents" and the school ap- propriation as "95 dollars and 6S525 cents" Decima! points and a few thousands of dollars meant nothing to him,
 In a spirit Of fairness, I think the motion should be withdrawn" " Mir. Washburn said, but MT. Sey- mour asked for a vote. The first ballot was by exclamation and the chairman said he believed the mo- ton was carried, but NIT. Trumbull doubted it and show of hands was called for. Mir. Seymour and Attor- ney Charles r. Conlon were tellers. The motion was defeated, having only 24 votes for to 32 against. The first selectman will continue 10 re- ceive $15O a month instead of the proposed $l80.
 Mr. Seymour then moved that the board of relief receive S4 q day in stead of s3, putting it on equal terms with the board Of assessors. This was downed and MT. Seymour withdrew his proposal to raise the auditors pay from Sl0 to s25 year.
 MT. Seymour drew up another resolution calling for the election of R. J. Coe as building commissioner for two years and Newton L. Lock- wood for one year. These two were recently elected temporary commis- sioners to serve until the annual Chairman Prior lost tilt with Mr. Seymour as to the proper ness of bringing the matter before the meeting, and the resolution was carried unanimously. The third i of the commission is, eX-of- ficio, Selectman Simpson.
