den and burgesses does concerning the budget which will be submitted fo them soon by the school board, n prominent local citizen said to- day.
 If will be recalled that last Thursday the board voted to re- store to the school employees pay fhe amount they had been cut when the 5 per cent cut went into ,ffect. Most residents had thought Shis move would now depend upon syhether tfie borough board decides 1o accept or reject the higher pud. get which the school board will ask. The budget would be about S1O.OOO higher than last year, 1t IS expected.
 But the startling statement made bv the Naugatuck resident who IS informed on such matters but who prefers to remain anonymous lndl- cates this is not so.
 He points o"t that at recent Legislature assembly it was, brought out the boards of education in the state are all-powerful and can carry out whatever they choose to do In connection with education. If the borough board refuses to give the school department the $1O,OOO extra in its appropriation, the school board can go ahead with the pay restoration and just exceed the budget by this amount, the in- formant said.
 Explains Reasoning
 To explain his arguments he said if the borough board should for some unforeseen reason de- eide not to grant the school de- partment anything, the department could still go ahead and spend the usual amount afid charge it to the town, for the state requires an edu- cation be given local children.
 Under the same principle, if the school board, he continued, only got half the budget they asked for, they still could go ahead and spend the rest, leaving 1t as deficit. Therefore the principle applies to minor decrease in the budget sought, he said.
 Of course all this depends on whether the board of education would want to act arbitrarily and exercise its full rights. In the past it has tried to cooperate. However thQre is no doubt board members feel they are only asking for legiti- mate expenses. They claim the slice in the school department bud- get cut appropriations below re- quired expenses and that this con- ditlon should be remedied now.
 Indications now are there will be deficit of about $6,000. Board members seem to think the bor- ough board will approve the in creased budget. Warden John J Ia fe rxytca cff ir1, q saying nothing. Some residents feel the teachers should get this small part of their pay restored, because it was promised them some time ago, and others feel the teachers are getting better pay than mary now and that times have not improved enough to give them the restoration. It would amount to total of about $7,500, it has been estimated.
