Immediate Gas Rate Increase Is Sidetracked
The PUC considers proposed rate hikes by a gas firm and weighs hearings and notices. Judge Tierney questions if ratepayers must be heard before any temporary or permanent changes, while the utility argues public interest protection and cites statutes. The case centers on whether new rates can be paused or require broad notice and potential bonds to refund any overcharges.

City Opens Second Oldster Drop-In Center With Youth Advisory
City officials vote to open a second drop-in center to include a boy and a girl on a youth advisory role for the commission. The move reverses a January decision and aims to keep youth input timely. The commission will select volunteers from sports-minded youths and coordinate with local agencies to plan age-appropriate activities. New backboards at Ebsworth field are noted as part of renovations funded by local businesses. The town seeks six to seven indoor recreation supervisors, including a girls’ supervisor at a pay of 8,200 dollars. Charles Brun advances to assistant superintendent pending civil service approval. A letter of appreciation is sent to the Noonans for their service to Bridgeport’s recreation program.

Stamford Mayor pushes legal bid for new primary
Stamford Mayor Giordano seeks a rerun of the Democratic primary after trailing by six votes to challenger Paul Rucza. The case, argued in Superior Court, centers on polling lists and voter registration at polling sites. Judge Otto LeMaccie heard the motion to reject Giordano’s claim, which contends improper polling place lists violated party rules. Regardless of outcome, Rucza remains on the November ballot by virtue of his incumbent candidate status.

Nixon Seeks Welfare Increase for Aged and Blind
The proposal links a 10 percent rise in Social Security to higher public aid for the aged and disabled. A two person monthly benefit would reach about $2,160 yearly, above the poverty line, as administration plans aim to cut the gap between poor Americans' income and poverty. Senate and House aides introduce the bill, detailing eligibility rules such as $1,500 resource limits and exclusions for essential personal property. Veterans pensions, farm price supports, and soil bank payments would count toward eligibility.
