MT. Tangredi indicated the town should get price on the cost of a steam shovel to remove the knoll and probably then the factory officials would be willing to pay part of the cost, he indicated.
 MT. Sheridan said he cannot feel the town should spend money to remove the knoll on the candy con- pany's land. He pointed out it is a state highway and no property own- CTS can be assessed. A few have promised to pay something for the walk but if they feel they cannot afford it now, there is no way to make them pay, he said. It was pointed out the town has already spent about $500 there. Burgess Tangredi again reminded the board that the original WPA sidewalk project was supposed to extend tc the factory and asked why it did not. The warden smilingly referred him to the borough engineer, stating it was a technical question.
 Burgess Joseph Dinneny expressed the opinion that arrangements should be made so that the walk could be continued straight through to the south end of the factory or it should not be continued from its present end.
 Interesting Clash
 A hectic exchange occurred be- tween the warden and Burgess Tan gredi. Who are the people most interested in the walk and who asked for it." the warden queried. "The people who live down there asked me for it." MT. Tangredi replied "They never asked me-" Sheridan said. Well, they did ask me-" re- torted MT. Tangredi.
 T have received several letters opposing the work down there, Warden Sheridan said. Did those people who spoke to you say they would pay for it?" N
 "The Peter Paul company wanted me to have the walk done and that company is the only one that spoke to me about it," the warden contin- ued.
 He indicated he felt this company should bear the cost of removing the knoll, as it is not up to the town to put walk on a state highway and the town has already helped much. The discussion ended witt MT. Tangredi's motion concerning the highway commissioner.
 To Discuss Budget Monday
 The board will meet at o'clock Monday night to discuss the budget it was decided. Burgess Joseph Nygren asked when the budget was to be discussed and the warden saio the welfare department budget pro- posal will be ready Monday night after the welfare board meets. He indicated the board of educat tiorl may revise it's budget of $218,000 al it's April meeting tomorrow.
 Both Burgesses Nygreu and Raytk- Wich pointed out department heads were asked to get budgets in by March IS and had not done so. Bur- gess Nygren said 1t requires more than two days of discussion as il will amount to more than three quarters of million dollars with WPA expenditures counted. If WPA money received from the govern ment is included, it amounts to more than million dollars, Burges; RayktWich said.
 The warden said he would be will. ing to meet any time this week O, next. He later said he and MT Beardsley have other work Saturday but the other members could meet then if they wish. It is necessary to have the budget approved by April 16, according to the loca. charter.

 After Burgess Nygren remarked about the budget, Burgess George Fellows said, We went all through that last June." MT. Nygren re- piled. Well, I'm glad you did, ] didn't" The warden said, Well I'm here every night in the week. When the warden remarked that last year at the final budget meet ing MT.

The two first ward burgesses, Joseph Dinneny and Jo- seph Nygren, were ordered to ln- vestigate a request for a sign u feet high and four feet wide to be hung at Raphael'S.
