Opposition Leader Alex Matheson asked for hobbiabeend on the decision to raise salar- les.
‘MAYOR EXPLAINS
“The task confronting coun- cil in running the affairs of the city," the mayor said, “has grown over the years and is a teriffic one now. There are so many functions connected with the office that it is common to work five nights a and sometimes six. City business will soon amount to $1,500,000 and it is felt that the extra $800 asked for councillors bringing their re- numeration up to $1,200 is very reasonable for the amount time they spend at their work. The fact that council was re- turned to office by acclamation indicates that the public felt the same as the council on this matter
Stating that he had _ often heard it said that paying more

New UN Role
Seen Possible If Funds Low
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Acting Secretary - General U Thant said Tuesday he wi!l ask the Security Council to consider possible changes in the United Nations’ Congo role if the re- sponse to the $200,000,000 bond issue is unsatisfactory.
Thant told a press conference the UN operations both in The Congo and in the Middle East would be affected by a poor re- sponse. If this happens, he said, it would be his duty to report to the 11-nation council and ask for a new directive
At present, he said, he has received pledges or purchases from 2 countries,
Canada and not counting the United States, totalling $49,515,- 000. He added that if the U.S. senate approves the recommen- dation of its foreign relations committee, the total would go up to $125,000,000 on a match- ing basis. This would still be far short of the goal.

Mentioning that the committee had recommended that the Mont- real firm of architects that won the national competition for a design for the Confederaion Memorial Building be consider- ed as architects for the new pro- vincial building, Mr. Stewart said that represeniatives of the Montreal firm are expected in Charlottetown Thursday to meet with him on the matter.
LONG-TERM PAYMENT
In explaining the bill, which was entitled an act to establish the Prince Edward Island Crown Building Corporation, Mr. Stew- art said that if the building were financed directly, the gov- ernment would have to pay back the cost in at least 20 years
“Since the building is expect- ed to serve the ae org the next 80 to 100 years,” Mr. Stewart, “we do not io that it would be fair to have the present generation pay for it. The cost should be spread over future generations so that there will not be a heavy load on this
