Harrison School
District Must
Raise $4,000

The Harrison Village school
district, Kirkersville, has an un-
usual proposition facing it mas
much as voters in that area will
ballot in an effort to pass .37
mill levy to raise $4,000 they
never expected to have to pay.
The situation arose over the
failure of the United States gov
ernment to provide $4,000 to
complete the erection of a fire
proof addition and other i'm
provements to their school build
ing. The bottleneck occurred be-
cause of the governments elm
ination of NYA.
The matter will be put before
the voters at the primary cleo
ton, August II, and the levy is
to run for IL years.

UNIFORM VOTING
 HOURS ADVOCATED
Democrats Republicans, and Socialists Leaders
 Hope for Agreement

The Democratic state central committee, meeting last night at Hartford, instructed State Chair man John T. Mccarthy to confer with Republican and Socialist lead- CTS in an effort to reach agreement on uniform hours for voting in all cities and towns in the state cleo ton this year.
 Many towns are now considering altering their voting hours to allow war plant workers an opportunity to vote. Under the statutes, the polls need be kept open only eight hours on election, with the governing authorities of the towns being en- powered to extend the hours as they see fit. In the past all towns have followed a. m. to 6 p. m. voting schedule.
 The fear was expressed last night that one town might fix D. m. as the deadline, others 8 p. m. and more p. m. To eliminate any such situation, MT. Mccarthy will meet with Republican State Chairman J. Kenneth Bradley and Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridgeport to seek agree ment on voting hour schedule that will be the same in all towns.
 Early primaries are in prospect this year, the committee setting Aug. 27 as the date for caucuses and conventions to elect delegates and nominate candidates.
 The proposal for a uniform voting hour agreement was made by Mayor Thomas Spellacy of Hartford.

 Aldermen Wins Delay in Battle
 Over $4,0OO Bill
 unless there is thirds vote for immediate transfer. Though the eight Democrats were joined by AL derman William V. Gerardi (R). a member of the finance board, they were one vote short of the needed two-thirds. Alderman James Aber- crombie (R) was absent.
 Violations of the aldermen's own new anti-noise ordinance, adopted only last month, came fast and furious as members shouted al each other, banged their desks for emphasis and exchanged sallies with spectators. On several occasions the meeting was entirely out of control The finance boards recommends tion calls for transfer of $5,137 from the salary item in the tax col lectof's budget to two new items one of $4,000 for use and servicing of the machines and one of $1,137 for payment of salaries to temporary workers employed by Barrow, Wade & Guthrie. The machines are rent ed, not sold, by the International Business Machines Corp. They were first used by the auditors in their work, but now are being used by city employees.
 Illegal Setup
 Alderman Burton H. Walker, Re- publican minority leader, opened the debate. He claimed that the finance board committee which rec commended use of the machines was illegally set up, since 1t included A Dale Mitchell, local manager fo1 Barrow, Wade & Guthrie. He said that the offices of the auditors and
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-08-04

the IBM Corp. are in the same build ing.
 It would be a violation of the charter, claimed MT. Walker, to ap- prove any such transfer as recom- mended by the board of finance, since no appropriation had been pro- vided in advance.
 If the city wants to rent the ma chimes for the rest of the year, an appropriation can be made for that purpose, said Alderman Walker, but no transfer can be made to cover back to Jan. 1. He asked why the subject had not been mentioned when this years budget was being prepared.
 Alderman Kingston said that Budget Director Thorvald Olsen had told him that he could have "hid- den the transfer under a lot of other items and we wouldn't have known of the transfer. From now on I'm going to carefully scrutinize every transfer that comes before this board"
 As Alderman Peter DeCicco (R) began to speak against the transfer, he was interrupted by Alderman Patrick Shea, Democratic leader, who said he couldn't understand him.
 You've got good eardrums, Mir Shea," said Alderman DeCicco. we don't want any more high bugaboo behind the scenes. It's poor policy to get work done first, then to come and ask money to pay for it. That caused trouble in the past and lot of city officials are in jail for 1t. Olsen thinks he's smart but he's not fooling us."
 Alderman Gerardi argued that the machines were necessary to ef- ficient operation of the tax office.
 Reduced Expenses
 Alderman Shea said that the ma chimes have been used only by the city, not by the accountants, since Jan. l and their use has eliminated the need for hiring six or more clerks and buying much more new equipment.
 Budget Director Olsen, given per- mission to speak, said that the tax work could not be properly done without the machines. But for the kindness of the auditors" he said, i've couldn't have experimented with these machines"
 Alderman Kingston cut in to ask: Didn't you realize last January that we'd have to pay for the use of these machines?"
 we wanted to make sure that they'd do the job," answered Mr. Olsen. But there's no liability for the city to pay anything; there's no legal obligation at all"
 "In that case MT. Olsen", said Alderman Kingston, "let's just ap- propriate enough money for the next five months"
 Its not a question of how good the machines are," interposed Alder man Walker" It's a question of legality"
 MT. DeCicco rose again to say: "Olsen may be a good salesman, but he should have foreseen we'd have to pay"
 "Last month," cut in Alderman Shea, you voted to transfer $31 900

 Members on both sides began shouting at once. Above the tumult came a shout by Alderman Daniel Driscoll CD. Waving his hand at MT. Gelgauda, he cried: "If I was on your side I'd never admit that the other side was smart enough to pull fast ones."
 After semblance of order had been restored, Alderman Kingston pointed out that the $31,000 coal transfer had been made before the bill was contracted.

 Said MT. Mitchell: "Our primary stock in trade is our integrity"
 MT. Walker has insinuated that there's some connection between us and the International Business Machines Corporation because we have offices in the same building. That means nothing.
 We have spent money for the city, from January 1 to July l. If the city wants to reimburse us it's all right; if 1t doesn't, it's all right. We have let the city use the ma- chimes and we have paid the tenn porary help"
 Alderman Kingston asked: "If MT. Olsen knew that help had to be hired, why didn't he tell us we needed an appropriation for that purpose?"
 Alderman Walker: Do you feel that we should pay you if it's H. legal"
 "No," said MT. Mitchell. T cer- tainly do not"
 Controller Thomas M. Conlon, asking permission to speak, said that MT. Walker had confused the case. The payment, he said, should be made.
 "Only Technicality"
 Asked about the legality of such payment, MT. Conlon replied: "The question of the legality of setting up a Transfer within a department seems to me to be only a technical ity."
 Commented Alderman Walker: There's something sloppy about this whole set-up"
