continuing heavy drifting in ithe country made the work of Government plows very heavy

yesterday. They all started out in the morning but soon found that the roads were filling up behind them almost immediately and they were called in to the garage here at noon. One of them got stuck in a heavy drift at south- port and another had, to be dos- patched to haul it out.

However. progress was noted lfi that the roads to the Airport and Beech Grove Inn were both open- ed early in the day. Even on these reads it was hard going and the plows had to make the trip several times each way to prevent the cuttings filling in again af- ter the first plowing.

The plows will be out on all main highways again this mom-

night as an indication of fair weather with the wind in the northwest. But weather officials

said that an unexpected change might occur and the Province be faced with another storm report- ed heading ill this direction with the threat of much more snow in its wake.

In the Winsloe and East Royalty sections children had to return to the horse and sleigh to gets to school as the two buses could not operate.

Hill Prince May llelire Shortly

ARCADIA. Calif.. March 3 - (AP) - Hill Prince may run one more race and then go into re- tirement.

Christopher T. Chenery. owner of the celebrated Virgina-bred five-year-old. said Hill Prince might. or might not race in the 350,000 San Juan Capistrano handi- cap at Santa Anita Saturday. and then definitely would be retired for duty in the stud at Claiborne Farm. Lexington. Ky.

Chenery said the Prince came out of the disappointing 3100.000 Santa Anita handicap Saturday in fine condition despite the poor fifth he ran.

The decision as to whether he will race in the San Juan. at 1 3-4 miles, rests with his trainer. Casey Hayes, Chenery said.

The Prince was the country's leading juvenile in 1949 and the three-year-old champion in 1060.

Youtllsbldeod Guilty To Jewelry Robbery

I NEW YORK. March 3 -(AP)-

Ciiiuna last night heard an- other of the lively arguments which have featured all meetings of the new City Council. and as well they were treated to an un- usual scene in which the Council attempted to raise the Islary paid the Mayor while His Worship Hilly refused to accept It.

The meeting dealt mainly with tile eight points of discussion raised last week by Coun. Edwin C. Johnnlone. Chairman of Ihe Finance Committee. The question of salaries was introduced by the Councillor who stated it had long been felt that there was no real relation at present between the salary of 3325 per year which is given the Mayor and the high cost of holding the position. Coun. Johnltone expressed the opinion that the Mayor and Coun- clllors should be paid and sug-

geated 81,000 for the Mayor to cover expenses incurred and either S200 or 3300 for each

Councillor. However. he said that such a move invariably met with criticism and to avoid it he pro- poled that such salaries not be paid this term. only to the next Mayor and Councillors.

Mayor Refused

After all Councillors had spok- en on the subject Mayor J. D. Stewart stated emphatically-: "1 will not accept any salary as long as I am in this chair". but he agreed that the next incumbent should be paid. He personally favored paying 81.000 to the May- or end 3500 to each Councillor. Mayor Stewart in explaining his position said he went overseas because there was a job oi work to be done in protecting lhc democratic way of life. When he returned he wanted to continue doing it and finally decided to enter civil: politics as giving him a chance to do something for the city in which he was brought up.

He admitted that the Job as Councillor and then Mayor look- A far greater proportion of his time than most men cured to give!

;fhst the present salary was set. ncllrly l00 yellrs ago when it probably was adequate. He he-

licved the Mayor should be paid R reasonable salary but was op- posed to paying Councillors. Coun- cillor T. Roy Cudmore was up- posed to any salaries being paid. He felt that the matter of serv- ing on the Council was one of good citizenship. "All of us give far more of our time to other organizations without being paid." he laid.

Councillors Gormlcy. Storey. Keefe, McCormac and MacDonald all agreed that the salary of the Mayar should be incrcascd but were not in agreement over Colin- ciiiors being paid.

Councillor Mccormac thought the matter might be held in sbevance for a year until citizens could see the result of the work of the pres- ent council. '

Councillor Frank Storey objected to the suggestion of the Mayor that the matter be dropped for a year. He thought it was of great import- ance at the present time and asked His Worship to reconsider his state- ment that he would not accept any increase while in office. He felt the increase should have been granted long ago and the present Council was only doing what others before them should have done.
