BURCESSES BOARD
SEES LONG FARLEY

Naugatuck, April 12-The meeting
of the board of warden and bur-
gesses tonight at 8 p. m. in the
Town Hall is expected to be long
one, Warden Leo j. Brophy an
nounced today.
The task facing the board is a
difficult one, Mr.. Brophy said. A
budget more than $4,000 higher
than the present one OF $562,338 IS
sought by the various departments.
One item alone which the warden
considers a must will absorb the
increased of $1,000. This is $500 Tor
plans for the sewage disposal plant,
The state water commission has or
dered the town to have plans pre-
pared or it will have them made
itself and bill the town for the cost:
Paw INCREASES in the form OF
bonuses or outright increases are
being sought by all municipal en-
ployes. Most are seeking a ID per
cent increase. 1t seems certain that
the board will not approve such an
increase. Some observers feel a
small increase will be granted which
would entail increasing the tax rate
by one mill. The rate was slashed
a mill at the start of the past fiscal
year and is now % mills.
If all the departmental requests
are granted in full, it will mean a
boost of two and a half mills IN
the tax rate.
All work is not expected to be
concluded at tonight's session, but
the board will probably give final
approval to budget Friday or Sat
urday A more definite indication
of what the budget total will be
expected to be given at tonlghts
meeting.
