Detailed fair wage schedules have been included in the specifications, ranging from 40 cents an hour for ordinary laborers up to the higher rates for skilled laborers. Among the local contractors, who are tendering on the project, estimated to cost at least $400,000 for the hangars alone, are C. M. Miners Construction Company A.

W. lleise and Company Smith Brothers and Wilson, Sho-quist Brothers, Shannon Brothers, and A. W. Cassidy and Company. The W.

G. Wells and Company of YVilkie, Carter-Halls, Aldlnger of Winnipeg and the Poole Construction Company of Regina are among the numerous outside contractors who are bidding. Completed arrangements for the memorial service here at 1 1 o'clock Sunday morning for the Rev. W. G.

Brown. Saskatoon member-elect of Parliament, who died in Ottawa on April were announced today by the Rev. Ronald Rowat, pastor of Parkview Presbyterian Church. In addition to the service in St. Andrew's Church, with its overflow meeting in the Canadian Legion Hall, memorial services will be held by Presbyterian congregations at Biggar, Rose-town and North Battleford.

Jt is expected that St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, where Mr. Brown was pastor until his death, will accommodate only the members of the congregation. There will, however, be ample seating capacity at the Canadian Legion Hall, where the service will be heard by radio, and where the Rev. R.

M. Ransom of Rosetown will preside. Parkview Church choir will lead the singing there. Saskatoon contractor and that Sas- Church in Saskatchewan, will have charge. Another Saskatoon memorial service will be held at 8.30 o'clock Sunday evening in the Ukrainian Labor Temple, 330 Avenue north, where John McKinnon, an elder of St.

Andrew's Church, will be the chief speaker, K. Solomon of the Canadian Ukrainian Youth Federation, will preside. Music will be offered by a combined string orchestra of the Ukrainian Farmer Labor Temple Association, conducted by K. Kostaniuk. The unexpectedness of Mr.

Brown's death was shown in a letter from Mis. Brown, received by W. M. McFadyen, the United Reform campaign manager here. The letter was dated March 27 and read In part: "We are all so delighted over the wonderful victory which Herbert R.

Davis of Buffalo and Frank P. Fisher of Detroit, engineers in charge of construction of the natural gas pipeline from Lloyd-minster to Saskatoon, and of the natural gas distribution system in this city, arrived here this morning to establish an office and per manent residences here. The prominent engineers conferred with Walter F. Thorn and J. K.

Swanson, executives of the Northern Natural Gas Company, Immediately upon their arrival by air, "In strict accordance with our plan to get natural gas into Saskatoon by November 1, Mr. Davis and Mr. Fisher will com mence their work here immediately," Mr. Thorn said. Announcement of the work to be undertaken immediately and of the procedure to be followed in bring ing natural gas to this city would be made on Monday, Mr.

Thorn added. SEE PARTNERSHIP Commenting briefly on the nat ural gas franchise agreement here, Mr. Fisher and Mr. Davis said "The natural gas business is essentially a partnership between the company and the citizens of the communitv to be served by this fuel. The overwhelming majority in favor of natural gas given by the citizens here Wednesday is the best Indication that the citizens arc willing and anxious to give their co-operation to the company." Today, the engineers, Mr.

Thorn and Mr. Swanson will confer upon the general plans respecting con struction of both the pipeline ana distribution system. By Monday thev will be in a position to give the approximate dates by which the preliminary survey and investigation work will be completed, and the actual construction of these systems will start. EXACT SURVEY NEEDED A scientific survey of the area betwen Lloydminster and Unity, and also of the Eagle Hills, is an ticipated by the company. This sur vey, done with the aid of precise selsmographic instruments, will be made to aid the company in loca tion of the pipeline route.

By means of seismographio tests, gas and oil engineers are able to discover the type of structure underlying an area. It is the intention of the com pany to lay the line as close to the oil and gas reserves between Lloydminster and Saskatoon as possible. Natural gas has been discovered at both Lloydminster and unity, and It is the contention of Dr. F. Hlntze, prominent American gas and oil geologist, and the Northern Natural Gas Company officials, that vast reserves of natural gas and oil underlie the country between these two points.

Police Chief Donald revealed this morning that the attacks had occurred and issued a warning that people should be on the lookout for a man who is believed to have been responsible for all four attacks. Only vague descriptions were given the police.

None of the victims was seriously injured. In three instances the man fled when the victims screamed, and in the fourth a 12-year-old child broke away and fled to safety. FIRST ON WEDNESDAY At 9.30 o'clock on Wednesday night a 23-year-old woman was attacked by a man in the 300 block on Fifth Avenue, north. The next victim was a 12-year- old girl who was attacked by a man while walking on Bedford Road between Avenue and Ave nue at 8.10 o'clock Thursday evening. In both cases the man fled when the victims screamed for help.

Two attacks occurred on Friday night. A 22-year-old womun found a man following her as she was walking on the south sidewalk of Twenty-third Street, west. He caught up with her when she crossed the rail road tracks on Avenue and at tacked her. She screamed for help after being thrown on the ground bv the assailant. He then fled.

Police were unable to find the man despite an intensive search of the district. This happened at about 8.30 o'clock. At about 9.45 o'clock Friday night a man stopped a 14-year-old girl, near 314 Avenue south, and asked her whore she was going. When she replied that she was on the way home, he grabbed her arm but she managed to break free and run to her home, which waa only two blocks away. This man also disappeared before police surrounded the district.

Last year about this time several Saskatoon women were attacked, Chief Donald recalled. These crimes were stopped when police arrested a 19-ycar-old youth, who was committed to a mental hospitaj. The chief asked for the co-operation of all citizens and requested that the appearance of any suspicious person in any district of the city, should be reported to police im mediately.

Face Busy Gathering Solbns Must Decide on Important Matters to Determine Tax Rate Citizens of Saskatoon will probably know, when they open the Star-Phoenix Tues day morning, what their tax rate is going to be for this At the meeting of the City Council to be held Mon day night, the city fathers will finish dealing with the estimates, decide what they're going to do about civic employees' superannuation, reach a final about whether they're going to establish an insurance con tingency fund, and whether they're going to give the city's fire insurance business to board, non-board, or mutual insurance companies. THREE BIG QUESTIONS Alderman Bonce has been trying to induce his colleagues to begin this year creating an insurance contingency fund, which would, as soon as it reached a rcspectablo size, relieve the city of carrying insurance sltogcthci, and thus save the taxpayers large sums annually. Alderman Early is the leader of the movement to give a larger proportion of the city's insurance business to non-board and mutual companies, which, he has told his col leagues, offer the same protection at lower rates. Alderman MacEachcrn Is the sire of the civic employees' superannua-; tion plan, and, despite a good deal of opposition, is still fighting to have his plan made effective this year.

Laws Don't Mean A Thing to Pony Every city traffic bylaw was broken this morning right in front of the city police station and yet police were unable to do a thing about It. The violator was a white pony, which apparently had broken loose and roamed about the city without even a haller by which it could be caught. The horse jay walked, ran on the wrong side of the road, overtook automobiles and other vehicles on intersections, gal loped on the sidewalk, grazed on boulevards and did everything a well-behaved pony was not supposed to do, according to the by laws. Attempts to catch it were futile, and the pony was last seen galloping on the sidewalk In a north erly direction. Grummett (announced by Mr.

Thorn on Mon- day also. Mr. Fisher and Mr. Dnvjs wore ready at a moment's notice to come to Saskatoon in accordance with the company's plans. Thpy were informed of the favorable vote on the franchise bylaw at midnight, Wednesday, and the following day were on their way to Saskatoon by air.

Error Is Revealed Nobody Impersonated Another Voter in Recent Election Here, Donald Finds Investigation of an alleged impersonation at a poll at 234 Avenue D.

north, at the general Federal election here revealed that no offence was committed but that the deputy returning officer at the poll made an error, Police Chief Donald announced this morning. The mistake occurred when a man living at the house of David Cowich, 122 Avenue north, men-, tioned that he resided at Mr. Cow-ich's house. The deputy returning officer mistakenly struck out Mr. Cowich's name instead of the voter's name.

When Mr. Cowich arrived later to vote, he was told that he had voted already. Then a warrant was issued under the Election Act. Find Chinese Dead iinRoom Autopsy Ordered by Coroner Oliver; Grieving Friend Is- Inconsolable Lee Song, 52, Chinese fruit salesman, was found dead in bed this morning in his basement room at 255 Second Avenue, south. The discovery was made shortly after i o'clock by Henry Barry, janitor of tne adjoining building.

Mr. Barry was called by Coon Get, the prop rietor of the B.C. Produce, who was unable to enter the basement when he found the door locked on the inside. Coroner William Oliver M.D., ordered an autopsy on the result of which will determine whether or not an inquest will be needed. The body was taken to Percy McKaguc's Funeral Home.

It ap peared that Song, who was well- known throughout the city as the driver of a fruit truck, retired to his room Friday night at the cus tomary time. Coon Get came to work this morning but found the basement locked. He called Mr, Barry, who removed the lock. Song and Get had apparently been good friends. A reporter who went to the B.C.

Produce store shortly before noon today found all goods In the store still covered with paper, while the shades on the windows had not been lifted. Get was a lonesome figure, seated in a corner of the backroom. Asked If he would open the store today he repneo: "Mo velly sad today. Me velly sick. Me will not open store today." Kindly neighbors had brought some food to the grieving man, but he had barely touched the tray of breakfast food placed in front of him.

"Me velly sad," he repeated as the reporter left the premises.

OSLER WO UK TOO several Saskatoon contractors have also planned to tender, on the grading and surfacing of the airfield at Osier. Plans and specification for this contract were expected today, but had not arrived at noon. The contract calls for the moving of approximately 30,000 yards of earth in the levelling and grading.

The work involves 240 acres and several farm buildings must also be moved off the field, just east of the Osier town limits. The contract calls for the fencing of the field with Pago fencing and the construction of a small office building. This field will be used for a practice landing field. The entire field must be seeded to grass. The War Supply Board is expected to call for tenders for the grading of a third air field In this area within the near future.

It is the usual practice at air training schools to have two practice landing fields so that the student pilots can fly a triangle course. Archie Wilson, commissioner of the Saskatoon Board of Trade, said today that the board hopes that tne contract may be secured by a Mayor Says Report About Pay Wrong Council Voted Restoration, Not Increase of Salary, Nider-ost Declares A statement made in Friday's editions of the Star-Phoenix, to the effect that Mayor Carl Nidcrosfs honorarium had been increased by $120 from $2,880 to $3,000, was branded today by Mayor Nlderost as "entire misleading." In good times, some years ago, tne honorarium voted to Saska toon' chief magistrate by the City Council was $3,600. During the hard times, councils didn't see fit to give tne mayors quite so much. Thus, the additional $120 which His Worship will get this year is to be regarded as a restoration of a pay cut, and not as an increase, it was explained (o a representative of the Star- Phoenix today. Civic employees are to receive a restoration of one-sixth of their pay cuts wis year.

The following is the text of the statement issued by His Worship to correct the "entirely misleading" re- port: "The report in last night's paper of an increase In the mayor's hon orarium is entirely misleading. The fact is that the honorarium or salary, or whatever you wish to call it, Is treated In exactly the same man ner as the salary of other city em ployees. At the time that the staff started to take cuts in their salaries the mayor's honorarium was fixed at $3,600 and deductions were made in the regular way from time to time. This year the council decided to restore one-sixth of the salary cuts and in the case of the mayor this amounted to approxi mately $120 a year and an adjust ment was made accordingly. "The restoration is in no sense an increase in salary in the ordinary sense of the term."

New Law On Wills Parents May Not Pass Over Children Under 21 Years Old Wills wherein parents disregard the maintenance of their children under 21 'years of or children river that age who because of physical or mental disability are unable to earn tneir own livelihood, may be successfully chal lenged through Saskatche wan courts, according to newly enacted legislation at Regina.

WIDOWS AFFECTED The new legislation does not pro tect "black sheep" whose conduct or character is such as to disentitle them to the benefit of a court order under the act, however. Father can still say to his wayward son or daughter: "I'll cut you off without a sou," and make It stick. The new act, known as the De pendants' Relief Act, provides also for the repeal of the Widows' Relief Act, a measure, which has been in effect many years in Saskat chewan. The principle of the lat ter act is retained In the new legislation, however. The Widows Relief Act was sim ply an act making It possible for a widow to apply to the courts for "relief" that is a larger share of the estate, if her husband, in his will has left her less than she would have been entitled to had he died intestate, leaving a widow and children.

Similar provision is contained in the new act. Dependants, including children conforming to the categories de scribed, may apply to the Court of Kings Bench for a share in the wills of their parents, under the legislation. When Saskatoon!

Every car and truck driver. In Western Canada particularly, has often wondered when someone would Invent a tire chain that could be put on In a mud hole. They don't have to wonder any longer, for Bert Grummett, 435 Avenue south, has recently been granted a patent for an "automobile wheel traction device" which, he says, has solved the problem, The device is a child of necessity. Grummett, a truck driver for the McKee Moving and Storage Company, has an inventive mind, with one other patent in his name, so he made It his sparetlme interest to see what could be done about a better, cheaper mud chain for trucks. It took two men four and one- half hours to put chains on a large truck stuck In a mudhole in Manitoba some yeara ago, Grummett said.

The wheels first had to be jacked up, which was no "cinch" In the mud. On top of the difficulty of assembly was the cost, $40, of a pair of the ordinary chains used on the double wheels. Each "chain" is In two parts Each section consists of four pieces of iron curved to fit the tire and held solid, several inches apart, by strap irons on (he inside and out sidf. Each section covers approxi mately a quarter of the circumference of the tire. ine two sections arc mica on opposite sides of the tire when mud Is encountered, and through simple system of chains and tightener, they are fastened to gether and made solid.

Two adaptations of the same prin ciple have been devised by Mr, Grummett. One of them is used for wheels which have spokeH, or holes large enough to pass a chain from the Inside to the outside. The other is for disc wheels or the type round on most of the newer pas senger cars. On December VI, 1934, Mr. Gi urn- mett was granted a patent for a safety device for bank tellers.
