For Election

When Prince Rupert taxpayers

civic elections—and there are
enough candidates—they will be
asked to elect four aldermen,
three school trustees and two
park commissioners.

Electors also will vote on a
$42,500 school bylaw and a ref-
erendum asking the people's
authority to impose an order
that all milk for distribution
here must be pasteurized.

The money bylaw is .for con-
struction of an elementary school
at Port Edward, on which the
district areas also vote. Their
share is $48,500, or $6,000 greater
than that of the city.

Retiring aldermen are George
Hills, J. W. Prusky, Darrow Go-

them say they will run for an-
other term. Mr. Hills, who is

Speed Driver
Builds Car
For 450-mph

LOS ANGELES @—A jet-pro-
pelled automobile rocketing over
a straightaway course at 450
miles an hour is the goa! of Ab
Jenkins, race driver and former
mayor of Salt Lake City.

Jenkins says the auto is being
built at a cost of $50,000. Its jet
engine will develop 3,000-horse-
power at 375 miles an hour and
eliminate the need for a clutch,
flywheel, géar box and differ-
ential. “eo

Jenkins says he expects to
drive it in 1954,.when it is com-
pleted. He will be 71 then.

Give Half-Hour Limit a Fair Chance

 

An appeal to all motorists was
made today by Mayor Harold
Whalen to help the city give its
new half-hour parking resolution
a chance.

“All we want is a chance to
see if it works.

“Tam asking everyone to give
it a fair trial for one month—
then if it doesn’t work. at all,
we'll have to give it up.

“But I am convinced it will
work,” he added.

Parking on Third Avenue,
the city’s main street, was re-
duced from one hour to half
hour by resolution at a city
council meeting. It is now in
effect.

The half-hour parking, passed
by a one-vote margin in council,
was upheld by aldermen and the
mayor for these main reasons:

To keep traffic moving in order
to give all motorists a chance to
park in the vicinity of their

 

To eliminate. the necessity of
loading zones—which was also
resolved by council—and ‘thus
adding more parking space to the
street.

Under the hour parking regu-
lation, the mayor said, it had
been found that unscrupulous
persons would leave their car
for an hour, go out and move
it a little ways and leave it for
another hour and se do nothing
to relieve the congestion.

Under the half-hour parking
regulation, “such a practice will
become a n to these
people and tend to have
them park on side streets or on
Second Avenue.

“What we are trying to ac-
complish is this: to have Third
Avenue open to parking to as
many shoppers and people who
