Bermuda Race Winner
Earns Two Trophies;
Pavana Out Of Money
BY the Assoeioted Press

HAMILTON, Bermuda, June
23.-The 2-year -old yawl Argyll,
competing in her second Bermuda
race. has earned for Skipper
William T. Moore of Oyster Bay,
N. Y, two major prizes in the
635-mile classic from Newport,
r. I.
Moore, vice president of the
Moore-McCormack Lines, will re-
ceive the Bermuda Trophy for the
best corrected time of the 53-boat
fleet and the Latifa Trophy for
best corrected time in Class A.
Two Chesapeake Bay yachts
have earned trophies. The Naval
Academy's big yawl Royono in
command of hard-bitten 1t. Frank
Siatkowski placed third in the AS.
c. Porter Schutt's yawl Egret of
Gibson Island Yacht Squadron
gets third prize in the Bs.
Pavana Out of Money.
1t looked as though Class c
honors will go to John G.. Alden's
Abenaki of Boston. The Wash
ington yawl Pavana. sailed by
Pete and Hank Strong. finished
out of the money.
An Oyster Bay owner also won
the Class B competition. H. I.
Pratt's Merry Maiden, a 52-foot
yawl, captured that phase of the
635-mile ocean jaunt despite the
fact that her main spreader broke
at the fitting.
Only the stragglers, mostly
smaller Class c vessels, remained
to complete the big feet which
started out last Sunday afternoon
from Newport, r. 1. All the Glass
A boats were accounted for, and
only a few Class B craft were be-
ing awaited.
Boler0 First Across Line.
Argyll's corrected time, which
decides the winner, was "A hours
minutes SO seconds.
John Nicholas Browns 73-foot
yawl Bolero had been the appar-
ent winner after being first to
cross the line, but it's corrected
time was 75:06.22 for second place.
Merry Maiden's corrected time, the
third best, was 75:35.32.
The Argyll had fairly calm
weather for the deep water Jour-
ney.
Some of the others were not so
fortunate. The Merry Maiden, for
instance. When her main spread
er broke during a storm, the crew
managed to carry on, since it was
on the leeward side.

That's only a few miles faster

He hasn't given up on the

News Of
CityHau

The question of giving pay increas-
es to the salaried employees of the
city, which has been a "sore spot"
between the Mayor and the Council
ever since the 10 cents an hour,
across the board increase was given
the per diem employees of the light
plant last April, was finally settled
on Tuesday night at a special meet
ing of the Mayor and Council
Following a discussion that lasted
more than an hour and a half, during
which the Mayor tried vainly to get
the Council to approve the scale of
salary increases, effective January 1,
1850, that was drawn up by the Per-
sonnet Director, the Council, on the
motion of Luther Broom, seconded
by Jack Hellane, voted unanimously
in favor of a compromise plan, that
provides for the salary increases con-
tanned in the Personnel Directors
plan, but makes the increases retro
active, providing the operating
budget of the city shows a credit
balance at the end of the year.
During the discussion, the follow
ing facts were brought out:
l. Under the Charter, the Mayor
and Council cannot overspend the
budget.
2. The Light Department was the
only department that included pro-
vision for wage increases in it's
budget. This explains why the per
diem workers were able to get their
increase last April.
3. The operating budget for 1850 is
one million, seven hundred thousand
dollars, of which, during the first sew
en- months January through july,
nine hundred and fourteen thousand
dollars was spent. This means that
during those seven months the city
underspent its budget about seventy
five thousand dollars.
4. Whether or not this saving would
be "eaten up" during the last five
months of the year was a moot ques-
ton, depending largely on the price
the city will have to pay for material
purchased between August and De-
cember.
5. If the retroactive feature of the
motion adopted is to be dated back
to July l, it will cost about eighteen
thousand dollars, and if it is made
retroactive only to October /, it will
cost about nine thousand dollars.
6. 1t will be at least April, 1851,
before the city auditor can inform
the Mayor and Council exactly how
much of the 1850 budget was finally
spent, so the retroactive increases of
pay-if any-would be paid the city
employees in a lump sum, sometime
after April l.
z. If, after all the figures are in,
the 1850 operating budget shows an
unspent balance of as much as twen-
ty thousand dollars, the city en-
ployees will get retroactive pay in
crease dating back to July l; if the
unspent balance should only be as
much as ten thousand dollars, the
employees would get a retroactive
increase dating back to October l;
but, if all the 1850 budget is spent
then the employees increases will
date only from January l, 1851.
