BAY FROZEN OVER i Deseronto, "-- Once again the waters of the bay have yielded to the rigors of cold weather and on Monday the bay was again frozen over and thé icc bridge was formed. On a number of occasions this winter the bay has been frozen but the mild weather caused a break- up.

Manager in Europe] Says Improvement to be Looked For Montreal, Que., Feb. 4.--"The British railways, in common with all the carriers on the North American Continent, have been going through a period of severe traffic declines and reduced earnings," sald P. A, Clews, act- ing European manager of the Canadian National Railways on his arrival in Montreal today for a series of conferences with Sir Henry Thornton and other of- ficers of the system. Mr, Clews was for many years European traffic manager of the Canadian National system and upon the retirement of the European vice-president recently he was given charge of the com- pany's interests in Europe, this being his first visit to Canada since his promotion. Hopes For Improvement "Hopes are held, however, of an improvement in traffic on the British railways as a result of the brighter outlook for indus- try." continued Mr. Clews. "The railways believe that they would be able to carry the increased traffic with very little increase in their expenditures, the cut- ting down process having arrived | at a stage where little more can be done in that field. Bus and truck competition with the rail- ways continues to be very severe and the situation {is intensified in Great Britain by reason of a maenificent system of roads maintained and policed at the public expense. It was less than four years ago thgt the British railways were granted full power to embark on road transport. Some headway has been made, particularly in connection with the carriage of passengers by rallway owned vehicles on the highways but the freight haulage situation, with the private opera- tor making his own rates and paying whatever he cares to for labor, has not improved. "The effect of the adverse rate against the peund sterling", Mr, Clews explained, "has. been to attract the British tourists to the cruises advertised by British lines from British ports with fares computed upon British cur- rency. There has been a marked increare, he said, in that char- acter of travel. '"Great Britain," continued Mr. Clews, "took it's departure from the gold standard calmly and there was no excitement. I hap- pened to be in Germany when the mark had fits sensational drop and in France and Belgium when the currency of these countries slumped and the situation was chaotic. As far as'I have been able to aseertain there has been In Great Britain no inflation in values, merchandise selling at the same price as before, the gold standard was abandoned, Look For Tangible Results "Everyone in the British Isles is looking forward to tangible re- sults from the imperial economic Produce Prices on the Commercial Markets TORONTO PRODUCE (Buying) Toronto dealers are buying pro- duce at the folowing prices: Eggs--Ungraded, cases return- ed, fresh extras, 16c; fresh firsts, 14c; seconds, llc.

The marketing board is doing much to assist in creating a de- mand for the products grown in the British Dominions and pos- sessions and there is an ardent hope everywhere that the coming conference will result in some definite forward steps being taken to extend trading within the Empire. "Although the trade figures do not show any startling degree of improvement there is undoubted- ly a better sentiment in business than was the case a year ago. The feeling is that the homeland is about to move slowly but surely up the grade to economic recovery." ENGINEERS FACE MANY PROBLEMY Development of Quebec River Is Most Difficult Task Toronto, Feb, 4--(By The Cana- dian Press)--Some idea of the dif- ficulties encountered and conquer- ed by éngineers in carrying out the new power development on the comparatively unknown Lievre Riv- er in Quebec was furnished the En- gineer Institute of Canada by H. S. Ferguson, consulting engineer of New York, in a paper read at the annual meeting today, A great part part of the power from the Lievre river plant will be supplied to the Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Commission, The storage reservoir and dam was commenced at Cedar Rapids in 1928 and the main power station at Masson will not be completed until July, 1933. There is an auxiliary station at High Falls. Botle Cedar Rapids and High Falls are miles ftom the nearest railway, adding to the difficulties of construction. All the roads had to be improved in order that heavy ocnstruction ma- terial could be brought in by means of tractors and sleds. The engineers were particularly interested in the design of the in- take passages at Masson, conduct- ing the water into a tunnel 25 feet in diameter and more than a mile long, drilled through solid rock; as well as the unusually large surge tanks, which were necessary in or- der that the tremendous power available ean be fully utilized, ' TEACHERS STILL LIVING IN HOPE Toronto School Staff Still Look For Cancella- tion of Reductions Toronto. ~-- Waging a vigorous campaing for rescinding of the resolution providing for a five per cent reduction in salaries, passed by the Board of Edueca- tion last Thursday night, Toronto tcachers have not yet given up liope on the salary question, Deputations of teachers visited trustees protesting against the ac- tion, and claiming that a five per cent cut was unnecessary and un- Juet. Certain trustees believed the whole matter would have to be re-opened on Thursday even- ing, and hoped that it would be poesible to get a two-thirds vote for that purpose, It 'was pointed out, that the vole on Thursday night was not unanimous, that Trustees Mrs, I. L. Slegel, Dr. G. H. Gardiner, Mrs. H. P. Plumptre, Dt. Min- ec'va Reld, Mrs. E. H. Ross and Dr. H. P, Spaulding had not fa- vored the reduction and that oth- er trustees had declared five per cent, was too steep a reduction, and favored a three per cent one. A vote was not taken on the queetion, and one trustee sald: "It was railroaded through in slipshod fashion before anyone knew what was happening." Secondary school teachers, public school principals and as- sistant masters have expressed their disapproval and disappoint- ment.* The latter twa groups met yesterday and both agreed to urge the rescinding of the mo- tion, Lobbying on the part of the trustees and teachers is the order of the day, and teachers are registering their complaints te trustees both collectively and in- dividually. Principals Give Figures A report from the public school principals pointed out that the board required but $121,000 in order to take care of Increage in salary expenditure this. The board, they stated, saved some #67,979 by reason of the number of public school teachers retiring this year, over and above the cost of new teachers resulting from such retirement, With increments totalling ap- proximately $220,000 plus new teachers creating an outlay of #120,000, the board must spend §450,000 more than last year in salaries.

Gives Board $400,000 With a teachers payroll of cent cut would give the board $400,000 while all that was re- quired to maintain equilibrium was $121,000. It was therefore unfair to subtract five per cent, the principals felt, Several applications for ad- justments in salary, due to the five per cent, reduction, came be- fore the finance committee of the Board of Education yesterday. Objection was ralsed to the read- ing ot all of them, and Trustee wculd receive no increment. They Mrs. I. L. Siegel commented: "We ought to rescind that resolu- tion of Thursday night." Members of the Toronto Public School Secretaries' Association asked for consideration in view of the fact that they would re- ceive less than last year as they are not llable for an increment ard also have no superanuation fund, There was a request from the secretary of the high school administration office who is en- titled to no increase according to the present scheme, A further communication inquired what action should be taken in regard to eight assistant masters, with cond-class certificates ' who were also sent on to the Doard.
