The spending plan represents a mill rale lhat would remain at last year's 21.36 figure. The Town Council arrived at the no-tax-increase budget after making cuts to the previous budget proposal that was defeated at the polls in June. Voters shot down the first budgetproposal in May, and each rejection has led to significant cuts on both municipal and school sides of the spending plan for the current fiscal year, which began July 1. At Monday's council meeting, Chairwoman Rosalie Loughran asked lhat "everyone and their relatives get outand support thebudget on August 24. Tt's important we pass this one. The next one could be a disaster." To arrive at the latest S25.6 million school budget proposal, officials were faced wiih making a S414.485 reduction, and Board of Education members voled on August 11 to approved the cuts recommended by the board's budget committee. The reductions resulted in the loss of a third grade teaching position at Baldwin School, the physical education teach- ing position at Walertown High School, reconstruction of Al Deland Field, a talented and gifted program coordinator, and plans to lease computers. A majority of school board members voted to approve the cuts, said STRETCH TO THE SKY; Or at least the ceiling, anyway, as Fernando Carrillo, second from right, a dancer board Chairwoman Cheryl Carlcy on Monday, with board members with the Alvin Ailey Repertory Ensemble, leads students of all ages in some limbering up exercises during the George Leszkowicz and Denisc Russ voting aguinsi them. final Summer Dance Festival class in modern and jazz dance at the Connecticut Dance Theatre on August 11.

There will be separate "yes-no" questions on each, but defeat of one automatically brings down the other. As it stands, passage would keep the mill rate at the current level, meaning no increase in taxes.
