Alderman Will Resist Possible Veto Of City Inspection Reorganization A controversial reorganization of Burlington's inspection departments may be vetoed by Mayor Gordon Paquette tonight, but close to two-thirds of the aldermen said Sunday they would vote to override the veto. Paquette threatened to veto the reorganization after it passed the Board of Aldermen on an 8-2 vote two weeks ago. According to the city charter, the mayor has 14 days in which to use his veto power. The change in the inspection structure would involve hiring a public health and safety administrator at an annual salary of $17,700 to replace retiring city Health Officer Eugene Luck. The administrator would be responsible for the operation of all city inspection departments and would report directly to the mayor.

He also would be responsible for State Demos To Retain Original Convention Date MONTPELIER After several hours of discussion and legal advice, the state Democratic Party decided Sunday not to change the date of its platform convention. Chittenden County Democratic Chairman Bennett Greene said lawyers told party members that changing the platform convention would be "legally confusing." Greene said members voted 16-13 to keep the convention in August, instead of moving it to July. As a result, Democratic candidates in September primaries will not know the official party platform before they receive their nominations. Delegates at the meeting in Montpelier Sunday also approved an amendment to party bylaws that 1 it Vermont Of sequeseg Roundup Monday, A Mass. Man Wanted in Vt.

Ostrowski said the incident began about 3 a.m. when Fay refused to stop for Aumand, who had activated his cruiser's siren and blue lights.

Under present procedure, the four city hall inspectors are appointed directly by, and report directly to, the mayor. In addition to changing hiring practices, the new system would have a fire marshal, a building inspector and a inspector. A minimum housing inspector would report to the building commissioner.

Alderman Joyce Desautels, D- Ward 1, who wrote the initial report, said the recommendations have been altered so that the new system will cost the city no more money than the present one. "We're spending $90,000 a year on our inspection team," she said, "and it doesn't work."
