The objections were voiced by Bell's attorney, E. E. 'slather. of Philadelphia, anti an engineer. W.

Scott Walker, of Pittsburgh. They were voiced at a hearing here in the State Office Building on an okay from the Public Utilities Commission to go ahead with the $1,0,15,0321 overhead highway and ramps between the south side of Forbes Avenue and the northern margin of Fifth Avenue. Requested Rearing The hearing, held at the request of the State Highway Commission, was for a tem. porary authorization to proceed on segment Of the multi-million-dollar traffie artery while hearings on the remainder of the project were to be held at later dales. The ig hva depart ment also requested permanent au.

thority and allocations of costs of relocating public utilities, such as installations and power cables of the Duquesne Light Company. The telephone company's objection marred an otherwise peaceful hearing during which the State offered to pay costs of altering Pittsburgh Railways' facilities, but refused to pay costs for other utilities. Would End in Midair Although the segment upon the highway department had asked a hearing stopped a few feet short of phone company cahies under Tunnel Street, Mr. Mather requested that the scope of the PVC ruling on the superhighway he enlarged to cover the entire project from the Liberty Bridge to the foot of East Street on the Northside. If the PUC did not, Mr.

Mather said. it could be authorizing Ei highway that would "end in midair." If the whole project mere to be reviewed overall, Mr. Mather said, then the fate of 33 Bell conduits under Tunnel Street would be affected. Mr. Walker, Bell engineer, said the cost for Tunnel Street alteratiOnS would amount to $80,000.

Yet Gilbert Rem ley has" filled a vital job in the sports department of the Post-Gazette and the old Sun for al- I most half a century. Before that he was copyboy and reporter. When he retires today after 52 years in the newspaper business, he will leave a big gap in the "slot" on the PostG a ze e's horiseshoeshaped sports copy desk.

Be Needed No Title Nobody ever gave Remley the title of assistant sports editor or executive sports editor but thas what he was. N'C'hile other sportswriters lapped up the glamor of the press box at Forbes Field. Pitt Stadium, the Pitt Fieldhouse and other gathering spots of the sports clan, Remley sat In his key position on the sports desk. He assigned the stories, marked them for the sports staff to write headlines, and made up the sports pages half a dozen times a night. rtemley was forever asking about a headline, suggesting to a sportswriter that a perti nent fact be adJed to a story, or wondering why an account of a ball game, a horse race or a golf 'match wasn't in.

Or he was pulling the copy off the vire machines, snipping it with his scissors or into the adjacent composing room with copy. GumNot GunToler All this time one fact was certainRerriley, now a well-preserved 71, was chewing a stick of gum. It was almost his trademark. Remley remarked last night that "I seemed to fit into the desk side of newspaper work." He made this statement between 8:30 and 9:30 p. In.

at the restaurant where he ate dinner at the same time the five nights a week he worked --for his job in the sports department has firmly fixed his daily habits Frank Riley, a reporter on the old Post, gave Gil his first job. Riley was a neighbor of the Remlevs on the Northside and through him Gil became a eopyboy on the Sun March 1, 19067 "I used to have to get my shoes half-soled about every other week," Remley recalled. He made the rounds of the Courthouse, old City Hall and the old Federal Building, picking up reporters' copy. He ran Jimmy- Long's baseball stories from Exposition Park to the old Sun at Liberty Avenue and Wood Street. From copyboy Remley rose to reporter, covering the Oakland district and Center Avenue Police Station.

Ile Nvrote obit uaries a nd church news, then began helping Jimmy Long, the Sun's one-man sports department. By May, 1912, Gil was in sports exclusively. Rode With the Rebel Ile covered the Pittsburgh Rebels in the Federal Baseball League in 1914 and wrote boxing in the days when Mayor Lawrence was a fight second. Remley worked in the Sun sports department until the newspaper merger in 1927, when he became a member of the sports staff. Remley.

without hesitation, chooses Honus Wagner as the greatest sports figure to cross the Pittsburgh scene in the last 50 years. Among modern-day ballplayers, Pie Traynor and Paul Waner are his favorites. Ile sees as the most notable changes in sports during his career the advent of night baseball and the fact there no longer is a lapse between the baseball, football and basketball seasons. For 14 years, Remley, as a sideline, was business manager of the Homestead Grays, the great Negro baseball team. Cum Posey, an owner and manager of the Grays, offered Remley the job, and Gil got the Grays their first $50 guarantee.

JIp WOn His Honors In 1953 the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Baseball Writers As. sociation of America honored him for 'metitorious service" over a long period of 3 ears. Only last May, the University of Pittsbl-Pgh honored Rem ley for his tontributions to intercollegiate athletics. Rem ley's over.riding hobby, other than sports, has been the movies.

Many's the lime he and Mrs. Rem ley went to a movie in the afternoon, went home for dinner, then took in a double feature at night. To this day Gil attends several movies a week. And bringing up a son and two daughters and enjoying their ten grandchildren has been another longtime activity. In his retirement, Rem ley plans to watch the Pirates, the Stcelers and Pitt.

At long last it looks as if Gil will be watching, in person, a lot of action he has heard about for 50 years by mading copy on the stories written by other sportswriters.
