(UPI) -New York apparently is in no serious danger of losing federal welfare funds, a state official, said, even though the state is not complying with a 1981 revision of the welfare laws. Department of Social Ser- vices spokesman Terrance McGrath said Wednesday the state was.expected by October ”tobeinmllcmipllgncewith the Aid to Families With Dependent Children laws. The federal government has agreed to waive one of its rules, he said, adding that New York was not expected to lose any federal welfare funds. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services warned New York and 18 other states they faced \a substantial loss of federal matching funds\ if they did not conform to a law that restricted eligibility for welfare.

Controversy Surrounds Albion - Economic Development Grant ALBION - A controversy over the handling of applicants for the Village of Albion's $440,000 federal Small Cities grant erupted Wednesday at a meeting of the Albion Village Board with charges being made that only a select few businesses were solicited to ; take part in the grant. Most of the criticism was directed at Trustee Nathan Lyman, head of the village's economic development committee, and the thember of the board instrumental in obtaining the grant aimed at improving the village's slump ridden economy and bringing new jobs to the village. The criticism was launched by Democratic Trustee Daniel Geiger, who demanded that a Republican, explain w only seven local Ambulance Staffing Concerns Voiced The Shelby Town Board, at its regular monthly meeting Tuesday evening, was with letters from both the Shelby and East Shelby fire companies ex- pressing concerns over the status of ambulance service in the township as provided under contract by the Village of Medina. The letters, whicthere presented by fire chiefs Joseph Levandaski of Shelby and Michael Fuller of East Shelby outlined the concerns those 3 have about the number of personnel the Medina Fire Department has work with the village on it cooperatively. We believe Medina has the best am bulance in the area and we want to keep it and even im- prove upon it.\ \As far as myself and the Village Board knows we are living up to every aspect of our ambulance agreement with the Town of Shelby,\ said Medina Mayor Marcia Tuohey, who Boted that the village also contracts to provide am- bulance service to the towns of Ridgeway and Yates. \The day to day operation of the ambulance is our (the village's) responsibility and Fire Chief Dell Stork is doing businesses and - ceftain basis by private funds. members of the board were However, when the village and told of the grant's availability.

In closing the discussion, Mayor Rodden said, \This is a very awkward situation for the village and for the Lymans and it's the appearance of what happened that has people upset. But, it doesn't mean that anything wrong happened.\ The board also approved Brown as an administrator of the grant at a cost of $35,000 less expenses already charged in the grant process. It is alleged that the low bid for the administration of the grant was William C. Lyman, county IDA chief, who submitted a bid of $25,000, or $10,000 less than Brown's bid.

Economists at the Commerce Departmentsuggested Wednes- day the postponement may be part of a more serious miscalculation of withholding rates by the Internal Revenue Service that gave Americans a smaller tax cut than Congress ordered last year. The stimulus effects of the Suggest MTA Plans ALBANY, N.Y. (UPI) - - James Larocca, nominated to head the state Transportation Department, says he is await- ing a study on restructuring the Metropolitan Transportation Authority beforesuggestingany role for his department. Larocca was unanimously confirmed Wednesday by the Senate Transportation Commit- tee, and the Senate Labor Committee confirmed Lillian Roberts to be reappointed as . state labor commissioner. Both ~now must be confirmed by the Senate Finance Committee and the full Senate. Larocca, asked whether the rtation - commissioner should head the MTA, said he would await a report on a proposal to restructure the MTA expected this week from a task force appointed by Gov. MarioCuom®. +~~-- ~ ''The commuting public is not happy with the level of service, and for good reason,\ he: added. Larocca suggested New York City's bus and subway fare should be based on a formula tied to their operating costs, so periodic crises would not develop when the MTA needs more money. Cuomo also named Orin Lehman to be reappointed as commissioner of the state Office of Parks and Recreation. Lehman, 62, has been commis- stoner since 1975 His salary is $65,700 and he must be confirmed by the Senate. Lehmanis a former publisher of weekly newspapers in the Hudson Valley and was chair- manofColgreeneBroadcasting, a radio broadcasting firm.

Twenty percent of the state highway bases are badly deteriorated and 1,500 bridges have been found to . be structurally deficient, Larocca said.

(UPI) -, About 145,000 New Yorkers may be eligible for up to 10 weeks of additionalunemploymentbene- fits, state Labor Commissioner Lillian Roberts said. The new benefits are the result of a decision by Congress to extend the Federal Supple- mentalCompensationprogram, Ms. Roberts said Wednesday. * Letters are bethg mailed to everyone who has recently exhausted their benefits under the program, advising they now may be able to re-open their claims. Those whose benefits expired before April 1 will be eligible for up to eight weeks of benefits. Those who exhausted their benefits on or after April 4 may be entitled to up to 10 weeks of additional benefits. Buffalo Lotte - Windy tonight, occasic , chance of a thunderstorm,; low about ' 40.

Buoyed by the auto report, the Dow Jones industrials gained 11.49 points on the New York Stock Exchange Wednes- day, lifting the average to a record high of 1,156.64. The price of an average share gained 23 cents. But the Commerce Depart-. ment's latest measure of the.. level of unsold inventories showed an increase of 0.1 percent in February. Depart- ment analysts said it was not a signal businesses were once again rebuilding inventories, a boon to factory production. Instead the month's 1.3 percent drop in sales merely backed up unsold automobiles on dealers' lots, they said. © At the Treasury Department, an official who preferred to remain anonymous said tax refunds \are notfollowing their normal pattern this year.\ He suggested any discrepan- cy between how much money Americans are getting in refunds and the amount the administration forecast they would get will eventually be resolved by a late surge of IRS payments. The current discrepancy is large enough to gig-”firm economists throughout govern- ment. The IRS says income-tax refunds are running 6.3 percent behind last year. The adminis- tration told Congress in Janu- ary they would go up 18.7 percent. The difference eventually could amount to a shortfall of several billion dollars Congress intended to keep in the hands of consumersinstead of the IRS. So far Americans have received about $1.8 billion less in their refund checks than during the same period last year despite the fact the average size of the refund is higher.
