The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-08-04

Opinions Asked
 The question of the amendments came up when Controller Martin J. Sweeney invited the opinion of the board as to the interpretation of certain passages in the bill. Pro- visions 107 and 109 of the former charter, now repealed, made the con- troller the city's purchasing agent, with power to purchase for all the departments, and called for depart mental audits by the controller. The Culhane bill, in repeating these pro- visions calls for separate purchas- ing agent, apart from the controller. But this provision is not to go into effect until 1940. Controller Sween- ey, therefore, asked the opinion of the board as to what procedure should be followed from now until the first of January, when the new provisions go into effect.
 It was at this point in the dis cussion that Commissioner Goss said that he felt the interests of the city were the first thing to be consid- cred. He stated that 1t was his opinion that the repeal of the old provisions did not go into effect practically until the new law took effect, in 1940. Commissioner Charles Jackson moved that the board authorize the controller to continue under the present system in the public interest, and the vote was 50 carried.
 Faces Situation
 Commissioner Goss pointed out what difficult situation the board must face, in view of all the amend ments to the charter, particularly in the fall, in regard to the drawing up of the budget. He said that last year the budget was estimated with provision for a certain surplus, so as to take care of any emergencies which might arise. This procedure, he said, had proven quite useful, and 1t would probably be best to adopt 1t again.
 Another request for a pension un- der the provisions of the Culhane bill was received from Mrs. Mary Mcdonald, widow of the former care- taker of Hamilton Park, who died in 1882. Her request was referred to the corporation counsel. This has been the procedure adopted in re- gard to all such requests for pen sions received from widows of former employees of the city who died before the bill went into effect. Although 1t seems from the provis- ions of the Culhane pension bill, that such pensions would have to be paid by the city, Commissioner Goss said that he doubted any courts would uphold payments of pensions on a retroactive basis.
 S2,75O Asked
 An estimate of $2,750 from Grif- fenhagen and Company for the au- diting of the books of the late con- troller from January 1 to July 31 was recommended by the board to the mayor.
 A tribute to the late Controller Rowland was read by the secretary of the board, and approved by the other members, at Commissioner Goss's suggestion by a rising silent vote.
 The beard also authorized local banks to honor all cheeks, and drafts and orders signed by Controller Sweeney, and rescinded & similar authorization of checks signed by the former controller.
 Transfer of various funds in the Park Department, in the Board of Works, from the relief fund of the Board of Finance to the WPA prof ect, and other routine transfers were effected at the meeting.
