URGE CITIES TO ACCEPT FEDERAL
 BUILDING FUNDS
McNeil Addresses Officials TO-day-MilliOns Wait-
 ing for the Asking

Hartford. Conn. october 6 - (UP) - An invitation to Conncc- ticut municipalities to avail them- selves of their share of the federal public works funds, by obtaining loans and outright grants, was made this afternoon by Archibald McNeil, chairman of the advisory board for Connecticut on federal public works.
 McNeil spoke before Q group of mayors, selectmen, and other city and town officials who had been invited to the general meeting in the hall of the house at the state capitol. McNeil explained the fed eral act and the a.m or the govern ment in detail, and invited ques- tions and discussion.
 The national treasury, McNeil said, was waiting and ready to pay out millions of dollars for useful public works projects which will put unemployed to work. He de- nied federal red tape was holding up the granting of loans.
 "Washington will not be techni- cal with you," he told the town officials. Those who cry 'redtape' are. in many instances, themselves strangled in red tape. We are ready and willing to give any mu. nicipality the benefit of a doubt"
 McNeil said that while many Connecticut municipalities were heavily bonded they could, In most instances, take advantage of the chance to utilize federal funds without necessity for q special scs- sion of the legislature or an enabling net.
 We can give you money, help you decide what projects to under take, help you prepare your plans aid you in supervising the work and help you meet contractors charges when they fall due, but we cannot make you borrow your share of this money unless you want to-" McNeil said. However, If you need waterworks, improved sewage systems, bridges, viaducts, highways and new schools and pub lie buildings, you may have them on unbclievahly generous terms"
 McNcil called attention to the fact that 30 per cent of the money would come as an outright grant, and that 70 per cent could be oh. tained on per cent interest, with 90 years in which to amortize 1t.

The judges might also ind the amount OL uebt AHFoiNeu anu PVSe- pone the date for final entry long enough to give the Home Loan an opportunity to act.
 Even where final judgment has been entered, Justice Maltbie said, 1t is possible for the courts to re- open the case for further consider ation. Ho suggested that clerks of all courts keep q record of such cases and have them ready for the judge's consideration and attention when he comes to the various towns to hold sessions.
