Questions about the cost and the necessity for some changes are belatedly causing controversy among some of the councillors.Councillor Albert L. O'Neil has been the most vocal critic of the renovations , charging they will be a waste of taxpayers' money. He has spoken at length on the council floor against the renovations. When all the figures are tallied, he says, the cost will reach $2 million.James M. Coyle, staff director of the City Council, defends the changes, saying the entire project will cost between $900,000 and $1.2 million. This includes the new offices as well as muchneeded repairs to the heating and electrical systems, new furniture, and renovations to remove asbestos from the present offices.At the heart of the controversy is an enclosed bridge that would join new offices with the old.

In part, their disagreements concerned a transcript assembly service that ETS was not thrilled about performing. But deeper issues were involved.One was New York State's ``Truth in Testing'' legislation, which among other things has enabled testtakers to check afterward for grading errors, faulty questions, and the like. ETS waged an intensive lobbying campaign against the bill, but the law schools t
