Angelo M. Paonessa who favors de-
lay until his investigating commit
tee has had an opportunity to work,
was indicated in 4 letter to Finance
Board Chairman Edward F. Hall
sent today by President P. F. King
of the school board.
In one part Of the letter Mr..
King said: THE school board las
duties. The board of finance and
taxation has duties, and it may not
be for the best interests Of the city
to neglect our duties for the sake
Of harmony"
Mr.. Hall has not seen the letter
az yet. 1t arrived at his office in
the state capitol this morning, but
he Is out Of the city on business and
was not in his office today. The
letter is still unopened.
Following ID the letter, in full:
Mr.. e. +. Hall, Chairman,
Board Of Finance and Taxation,
New Britain, Conn.
Dear Mr.. Hall:
Your letter Of September II.
High school accommodations.
AT yesterdays meeting of the
school committee made a report in
reference to the above subject and
! was instructed to again make a
request of you that meeting of the
beard Of finance and taxation be
held and that the school commit
tee be given a hearing.
AS you are aware. the school
committee has given great deal Of
time and study to the building needs
at the High school and after all of
this time and study. We have a
definite project to recommend. Ac-
cording to our city charter, the
mode Of procedure is to take the
matter up with the board of finance
and taxation and since l have been
instructed by the school board to do
this. should like to be afforded the
opportunity.
Il believe that the school board
has the right to ask that the board
OF finance and taxation give lit
tie time to a hearing of this i'm
portant matter, and l do not think
that anyone can take the position
that we are, or have been, hasty.
After long consideration by the
board. we spent as much time as
was required of US by the mayors
special committee of fourteen in 60
ing over the matter fully with them.
That committee approved our pro-
gram and believe the recommenda-
ton should now be laid before the
board of finance and taxation.
If its progress from there on is
checked by influences which you and
l cannot control, the responsibility
must be shouldered by those causing
the delay.
Il should like very much to 90
along in harmony with Mayor
Paonessa. We have been able to do
that in the past and l hope indeed
that we shall be able to do so in
the future, but the mayor is not the
only official of our city who has
duties to perform. The school board
has duties. The board Of finance
and taxation has duties, and it may
not be for the best interest Of the
city to neglect our duties for the
sake of harmony.
Il trust you will grant us the op-
portunity for a hearing as soon as 1t
can be conveniently arranged"
