New York state welfare officials report $500 000 spent to track about $71 000 in overpayments, saying studies are required by law. If applied nationwide the cost would exceed potential savings, with upstate figures illustrating the issue.

Flatiron block sale saves historic Berkshire church landmark
Parishioners of the First Baptist Church voted to sell the Flatiron block to car dealer Richard E. Scarafoni. The deed will require exterior restoration of the building or it reverts to the church. Historic Resources chairwoman Mrs. Edward W. Buckley Jr. hopes the site will soon be listed nationally. Also, Harvey Daniels buys 165acre at Mt Greylock base for a potential subdivision with Appalachian Trail and two trout streams crossing the property. In Pittsfield, a plan for publicly funded alternative schools to serve underachievers is urged by Supt. Whalen. Hoosac Tunnel Centennial Committee will print 12 500 postcards for next year’s celebration designmed by William Walden.
