Rome Labor Men Urge $600 Yearly Increase in City Employes Salaries
In a Rome hearing, four of six speakers urged a $600 annual raise for all city workers, calling the $250 blanket increase inadequate. Labor leaders attacked the Moore Plan as burdensome to a small city while praising long‑term financing and urging action by the Board of Estimate. The session also featured criticism of a $500 cut for the Jervis Library Association budget and calls for higher salaries to prevent workers from needing extra income.

Route 11 highway upgrades reduce sharp turns to Canada
The long planned elimination of hazards on U S Route 11 from Syracuse to the Canadian border began yesterday. A new underpass 700 feet west of Calcium will straighten the route, removing a right angle turn and a blind corner that caused many accidents. The project includes a new stretch linking Calcium Evans Mills road and a realigned path north of Calcium. Across the 170 mile corridor, many grade crossings and dangerous curves have been removed or straightened with underpasses at Canton Calcium and other locations, creating a safer, mostly straight highway toward Watertown and beyond.
