Councilman Baumgartner suggested the administrator investigate what would
be necessary to regulate such devices.

carrier, Connecticut General, has raised its family coverage rates approxi-
mately nine dollars per month. He stated the staff plans to investigate
alternative sources of health insurance.

signals at Highway #10 and County Road H2 and at Highway #10 and County

way jeopardizes the availability of MSA funds to pay the city's share of
construction costs.
