the petition to the commission. Short
ly afterward William Mex Clayton,

BACK TO FIRST PRINCIPLES

Many citizens in New Britain will not hesitate to agree with former Mayor Paonessa that some organ ization. like the erstwhile city meeting board. should exist in the city with uthority to amend or re- ject financial programs coming from the Common Council
 The elimination of the city meet ing board has been no advantage to the city. When an important fi- nancial issue was before the city no forum was as likely to weigh it as carefully as this board. It Is true that attendance had been haphazard for several years before its demise; but in the estimation of many citi- zens that was due to a paucity of stirring issues rather than delib- crate desire by board members and citizens generally to neglect their duty.
 Either the return of the city meeting board Is needed, or there should be provision made for refer endums on large public expendi- lures. Those who lament the exist ence of apathy toward public affairs by citizens should favor any meth- cd that will stimulate them to such interests.
