Allowance Increased
 For State MA Work
Grant of 5000 600 Given Connecticut to Meet Growing
 Demands for Employment 800 on Present Roll

Despite the increased appropria- tion, it may be necessary for the IVA to drop 100 of it's relief work CTS, Dodd said. This matter is being studied, he said, and if it is neces- sary to make a cut, most of those dropped can be placed elsewhere. Connecticut he said, has quota of 60 now at Passmaquoddy village, Me, that will provide work for some of the ones losing their employment, while private industry, the WPA, etc., is expected to absorb the rest of the slack.
 There will be no additions to the rolls of relief workers, Dodd said, unless private business absorbs many of those now on projects.
 Certification
 Work relief he said, is furnished to youths between the ages of 18 and 25 from families certified for relief by their local welfare depart ments on projects sponsored by towns and cities, state departments and non-profit making institutions. The projects are designed to give the youths work experience that will be of assistance to them later in private industry and to accomplish improvements beyond the sponsors ordinary budgetary scope.

The board of aldermen last night tossed back into the laps of the members of the board of finance the proposal to have Griffenhagen and Associates, or some similar firm, conduct an investigation into all city deprtments for the purpose of finding what economies can be ef- fected. The aldermen after meeting as committee of the whole in eX- ecutive session, voted unanimously to request the finance board to transfer the sum of $6,000 for other appropriations to finance the sur vey.
 Action on a similar request by the board of aldermen has not been taken by the finance board. The survey, which is proposed to eX- tend over a period of two months, would cost the city $3,0O0 a month.
 CanvasSerS
 The sum of $2, 100 was voted for new item to be set up ln the regis trars office budget for the hiring of canVassers. The item was set up after Alderman Thomas P. Kelly had been upheld in his objection to proposal by Alderman George Kingston that the sum be set aside for the salaries of "canVassers and special clerks. Alderman Kelly said he saw no need for special clerks" and cited the statute which allows the hiring of canvasSerS by the reg istrars but makes no mention Of clerks.
 A recommendation by the board of finance that the sum of LOGO be transferred from other items to the salary item in the registrars bud get was approved. This insures J. Harry Leary, voting machine mech anic, salary of $2,500. When the budget was being prepared, a sal ary of $2,500 was set up for Leary, but the finance board at that time cut it down to $500.
 A request by the finance board that $8,000 be provided the sewer department for truck hire was re- ferred to a committee composed of Alderman Kingston, Peter Griffin and William Kolbeck.
 Rental of six voting machines for the fall election was approved by the aldermen. The sum of $8l5 will be transferred for this purpose after September l.
 Two new items were set up in the town clerks budget to provide for printing labels and ballots, and for election advertising. The sum of $1 200 for this purpose will be trans ferred after September l.
 Action Delayed
 No action was taken on proposed amendment to the building ordl- nance introduced by Alderman Jo- seph Reiner, which would forbid the opening of a liquor establishment within 1000 feet of another such place. A somewhat similar amend ment, introduced by the same al- derman several months ago, was voted down.
