Boyden, president of the Win-riham-Willimantic Caucus of1 Connecticut Democrats, told the Exchange Club, "Water pollution problems facing the city involves everyone, because it will involve the tax rate." Referring to the state order to the City of Willimantic on water pollution abatement, he read from the 1967 James S. Minges ana Associates report. Under the provisions of Public 'Act 57 of the 1967 General Assembly the City of Willimantic fias been ordered to "provide a plan for the construct additions and alterations to the existing City of Willimantic treatment plant facilities to provide secondary treatment, adequately serve anticipated future flows, replace outmoded or worn facil ities and make such other Lariviere Rosen as WILLIMANTIC (Special) Jerome A.

Rosen was appointed Monday as town counsel for the Democratic administration taking office July 1.

Senior engineer John J. Rice of the State Highway De partment had told the city April 9 that if it didn want the changes, the proposal wouldn't be carried through. Businessmen first protested in February when they discovered posts for no parking ban was part of the proposal which in volved installation of a progres sive traffic light system along Mam Street and creation of four lanes of moving traffic in that area. The proposal resulted from a 1965 study requested by former Police Chief Philip M. Rose.

Businessmen had argued the loss of parking in front of their stores and shops would drive them out of business and the four-lane traffic would turn Main Street into a speedway. ing, plus $2,000 each month until its delinquent bill is paid.

Residents Will Decide Area School Budget WILLIMANTIC (Special) The Common Council Monday night passed a resolution to stop1 a state proposal that would change Main Street traffic patterns and restrict parking from Bridge Street west to Windham Street. The resolution should end a protest by Main Street businessmen that began in February.

A number of merchants were at Monday's meeting, but there was no discussion on the unanimously-passed resolution.

The resolution was promised CHAPLIN (Special) A re gional budget meeting will be held today at 8 p.m. at Parish Hill High School auditorium. Voting on the regional budget is done at this regional meeting rather than at town meetings in individual towns. Any resident of Chaplin, Hampton, or Scot land who is entitled to vote at a town meeting may vote at the regonal meeting.

The budget proposed by the Regional Board of Education, District 11, was rejected at a meeting two weeks ago. At that time a number of persons voted in favor of cutting $25,000 from the proposed budget. Coventry is quite fascinating. What begins as ordinary pyrcx tubing will, with gentle twirling over the flame, a puff of air, slight pull and twist soon turn into a cute little dog, 12-inch swan, lamp or bell. And the bell even has a tiny glass clapper with a petite ding-a-ling.

Most fascinting is the clipper ship under construction, because it is made by "knitting" looping the glass in rows to make the hull and drawing out the material to just a hair's width to set the rigging. Brown's interest in glass was a natural one, for his father was a glassblower too. As a boy he first became interested through his father's work and learned the technique in a vocational school in Selem County, N.J., the only school in the country that teaches glassblowing. There will be many other crafts demonstrated and sold at Saturday's show, but Brown's glass may be one of the most popular ones. Since that time, the board has held a number of special meetings to seek ways of cutting its original ororiosal.
