 No, we did not know" Mr. l.e. Witt answered.
 "Why did you proceed?" the mayor shot out. We thought by careful economy We could be able 10 finish the huild Ing within the appropriation" I.c- Witt said. He told how the board had cut the Frederick J. Raff Co., plumbers appropriation from ap- proXimately $I3,000 to approximate y s70,000.

He said It really amounted to only $4,N0o The mayor then called his attention 10 the grading which Mr. Levitt admitted was not in the original ap- propriation.
 "Why?' the mayor asked.
 "1 can't say that" was Commit teeman LcWitts answer.
 The mayor told him the architect should have given him the informa- ton.
 Mr. Levitt said the grading was matter which the school commit tee was responsible for and that ii did not want the architect held re- sponsiblc.
 He did not have to come 10 New Britain for reputation" Mr. Lc- Witt added.

 At this time Mayor Paonessa ac- cused the school committee of talk ing the blame to shield the architect.

 At the end of the talk he said the figure which really put the school hoard back in it's attempt to stay ithin it's original appropriation Of O.000 was the fact that the board as unable. because of delay. 10 give .r contract to GenovcSe & Rich. general contractors. who agreed to build the structure for $394,SS0.

Liberals Claim People of City Refuse to Spend eek-Ends Within the "Dead' BOrders-Minis- ter Opposed to Com mercialized' Sabbath.

Philadelphia. Feb. (UP)--A law enacted lS6 years ago as a thanks giving measure for the dcliverance of this city from plague has divided Philadelphia on the question of whether man can buy groceries on sunday "ithout paying fine.
 IL is the Sunday observance law of 1794--a measure passed by the provincial assembly. forbidding any worldly employment or business whatsoever on tho Lords day Cworks of necessity and charity only cx- cepted) or any unlawful game. hunt ing, shooting sport or diversion"
 Two Factions Arise
 On the issue Of that law two fac tlons have arisen here:
 One, headed by Francis J. Walsh. an attorney. who is seeking 10 enlist the liberal citizens in a move to change the law which he believes lis stranGling the economic life of Philadelphia He suggests that New York "buy Philadelphia and mako a real town of it.
 The other. under the leadership of Rev. W. B. Forney, secretary, of the Philadelphia Sabbath association. is composed Of church workers who believe the Sunday law is making the city more home like. peaceful and law-abiding.
 Walsh is the president of the Anu-Blue Law association, an or Ganization formed in 1926 to work for change in the l794 statute. For four years he has been and today he is almost ready to admit it is a use less fight. He sat in his law office overlooking City Hall square and outlined the battles he had fought. with the air of man who had worn himself out hurling himself against unbreakablc barriers
 Cites Baseball Case
 Our best test case" he said, was the Philadelphia Athletics Sunday baseball game. We lost that in q technical sense. although I presume the Athletics could play ball every Sunday and pay a $4 fine if they were disposed to become consistent law yiolators. But the issue is dccp- CT than that.

 NhN' these blue law people," and here Walsh hammered his desk ansrIly, tried 10 keep swimming pools closed to children on the hot. test days Of August. They allow doctors to do their work on Sunday because they say it is an act of ne ccSs1ty. You can't buy groceries here on Sunday; you cant 20 to movies. The result is that people sit around trying to think up things 10 do, X survey we made showed the crime calendar here on Monday was heavier in proportion than in clt'eS where there IS no Sabbath law.

 TorDCy Sure of Ground
 orncy former minister, is suayc. confident and quick with ar Sumcnts against Walsh's conten- lions.
 MT. Walsh says the Sunday law IS harmful to the economic life Of Philadelphia he said, but I need only cite Chicago-wherc they is no sunday laW-and ask him to read in the newspapers that Chicago is broke
 "Certainly legislators will not try to change the Sunday law. They arc close to the people and know what the voters want We do not want 10 appear as radicals who are trying to prevent boys from getting exercise on Sunday. l tried to keep the swimming pools closed, because l thought girls were exposing them selves indecently in bathing suits.
 What the Sabbath association will fight. however. is commercializ- ed projects such as Sunday baseball and Sunday motion pictures. I doubt Mr. Walsh's statement that if the matter could be brought to vote the citizens of Pennsylvania would repeal the 1794 law. If that is the case why haven't they done it already"
 Forneys organization works in close cooperation with the churches although it is not affiliated with any particular denomination. Funds, he said, arc raised voluntarily.

Genovcsc &; Rich was bidding but ! in the Hayes Construction Co. bid it was not included, Mir. Levitt said. in answer to Chairman Edward F. Hall of the finance board. | The mayor said it was not q ducs- ton of money but of principle and when the board knew it was not able | to go ahead with the work it should not have done so
 At this point Chairman King in- terrupted with the statement that the school boari figured it would ! have a balance of $14.000 after the building had been constructed Mr. Levitt said if the board knew it would exceed the appropriation he believed no member of the board would have consented to go ahead with the project.
 Debate Becomes Personal
 At this point the argument be- came personal.
 Mr. Levitt said, Let me explain. l don't know whether you are ac- quaintad with large building con- struction. Mr. Mayor, but it is dif- ficult to anticipate emergencies which occur during the cOnstruc- ton.
 "I put up large buildings before you were of age" the mayor an- sWcrcd sharply.
 There was q sharp difference or opinion on this point and it was left where it stood. each holding his own opinion as to his proWcss in building construction.
 Tho architect was again brought into the argument and Mr. Levitt said as far as the architecture was concerned there was not $500 in extras in the building. Mr. Levitt said he never heard of as few be cause of architectural omissions.
 At the conclusion of the talk Mr. Levitt said the newspapers pub lshcd at the time of the second bids the fact that the school board would have to pay more because Of the delay so that I've arc not taking this committee by surprise"
 Hall Criticizes ENCavatin@
 Only once during his explanation was Mir. Levitt interrupted. When he explained that it was necessary to eNCavatc SG.l cubic wards of rock at $S yard Mr. Hall voiced the opinion that it was a "prcttv good price to pay" School Building Supervisor John r.. DoWncs said il was special type of blasting and it required more skill than the aver age type. The appropriation for this was SGSS.SO.
 Chairman Hall estimated that the program would require an issuance ot S2C0,0O0 worth of school bonds. l This will include the amount nccd- . ed for the construction of tho 1 Franklin school, for the payment of , the extra appropriation for the . Scnlor high school addition and for ! $o0,ooo appropriation for which ! bonds were issued some time ago.
