added a similar amount to the ground covering in the various watersheds to the north and east.

In tiie five stations of the Mo­hawk River Watershed above Lake Delta, snow depth last week aver­aged Just 3.9 inches, some 4.8 average in the same spots last January.

In January of 1956, the season of the big snow, there was an average of 16.4 inches on the ground in those stations as report' ed by the State Dept. of P u b 1 i c Welfare and the Niagara Mohawk Power Corp.

The first survey of this winter, taken on Jan. 6 and 7, shows the following snow depths in the water­shed above Delta with depths for January, 1957, and 1956 for com­parisons: *

fl.5 at Boonville BoonviUe, one mile east, 0.50,

9.5 and 15.8 inches; H i l l s i d e , 4.9, 8.8 and 15.0; Delta in open field, 4.0. 7.0 and 16.8; Delta In woods, 3.2, 5.8 and 14.0 inches; and Ava, one - half mile east, 6.8, 12.4 and 20.5 inches.

In the 27 stations surveyed rang­ing from the Mohawk River Wat­ershed around Little Falls to White Lake in die Black River Water­shed, the snow depth ranged from a trace to 9.1 inches.

Last year the depth ranged from 5.2 inches at Little Falls to 20 inches at North Lake, and in Jan­uary, 1956, from 10.3 inches, also at Little Falls, to 22.2 inches at Wilmurt Lake in die Mohawk-West Canada Creek Watershed.

Also measured by the snow sur­veyors sre the water content and density of the anow, for the rec-

which turned every highway and street into a pedestrian and ve­hicle slide.

Eight trucks were dispatched for plowing at 5 a.m., and two trucks were put out of commission when the clutches broke down because of die burden of heavy, wet snow.

The clutches are being installed today and die trucks are expect­ed to be in service tonight.

Slowed by Heavy Snow Fred Tayntor, superintendent of

streets and sanitation, said that plowing was slow because die snow was so heavy. He asked Uie Police Dept. to make a special effort to clear Dominick St. by 1 a.m. (tonight) so that snow re­moval can get under way without hindrance.

The plowing crews will work on the streets and boulevards until 5 p.m., and after die crew get some sleep, will be out sgain at midnight. All available city trucks will be used in plowing.

Snow removal in the downtown area will get started at midnight with eight to 19 private trucks hired to assist the city crews with this work.

Three of die city's four sidewalk plows went out early this morning and worked throughout the day. The fourth is being repaired.

The snow, which started during die night, forced the closing of the Morrisville - Eaton Central School in Madison County today as 10 to 12 inches on the highways bogged down all traffic.

Other Madison County Central

Remove Autos From Downtown Before 1 AM.

Rome motorists were asked today to make a special effort to have their cars off t h e downtown blocks of Dominick St. before 1 a.m. to permit re­moval of snow.

Fred Tayntor, streets super* intendent, said he has request­ed police to try to dear the street by diat time. A fleet of eight to 10 private trucks wiH be hired to haul away anow, Tayntor reported, while city trucks will be engaged in plow­ing. 4

Delta Ornei Gras

More than 100 friends of Mr. and Mrs. William E. Parmalee gathered at Beck's Grove last night for a testimonial that came as a complete surprise to the New London - Humaston Rd. couple.

The event, billed as the annual dinner of the Taxpayers Assn. of Rome, was among the best-kept secrets of the year and in the words of Mrs. Robert C. Bidwell, association president, "was known to everyone in Rome but the Parmalees."

The testimonial was arranged in recognition of 10 years work by Mrs. Mary Parmalee which was culminated with creation of the Enlarged Rome City School Dis­trict, consolidating the chy dis­trict with 23 outside school dis­tricts in Rome and surrounding towns. - -

Joining in the tribute were rep­resentatives of die State Educa tion Dept., members of the Board of Education and the Common Council and a number of other school and city officials.

The principal address was by City Manager Robert H. McManus, who cited problems of Rome's fu­ture growth which will constitute a continuing challenge to citizens

groups such as the Taxpayers Assn.

School Supt. Lyndon H. Strough, who served as master of ceremon­ies, said that the 10-year consoli­dation effort carried on "under die inspiration and leadership of Mrs. Parmalee" was inspired by "a dream of a school teacher who loved children, but also of a wise person."

Wisdom was required, Strough said, to envision Rome's poten­tials for growth, with the oblitera­tion of school district boundaries as the city's residential a r e a s spilled over their old confines.

The greatest debt to Mrs. Par­malee, he said, is owed by the children of the future, who will be the beneficiaries of her vision and her devotion to the ideal of the best possible education for all.

Harry Langworthy, State Educa­tion Dept. associate in school dis­trict organization, recalled the frequent and lengthy letters with which Mrs. Parmalee bombarded the department over the years.

He declared that if the ques­tions she raised on a wide variety of problems and the answers tiiat were developed were assembled in book form they would constitute

a "Bible" on school consolidation for die entire state.

Dr. Francis E. Griffiths, chiei of the bureau of rural administra­tive services in the state agency, praised the work of Mrs. Parma­lee represented by her letters and her frequent visits to Albany for firsthand explanations of particu­lar problems.

"The transition from an 1812 school system to one fitted for die mid-20tii century" in which the Rome woman played a leading role "is a great community un­dertaking," he declared.

Says All Co-operative Mrs. Parmalee, In a brief re­

sponse, said that one of the best things to come out of her con­solidation work was die opportu­nity to meet people. Everyone she worked wfth, bodi here and in Albany, was most co - opera­tive, Mrs. Parmalee said. , • She voiced again her conviction that "die children will benefit for long years to come" from d}e im

Sroved educational opportunities lat have been realaed. Mrs. Bidwell revealed die true

purpose of the dinner — a test! monial to "two very special peo­ple" — as she pinned an orchid on Mrs. Parmalee at die start of die program. The couple also was presented a scroll testifying to their efforts and a large bound scrap book to serve as a memen­to.

in his talk on the city's future, McManus cited population esti­mates of die 1955 study made here, indicating diat Rome will have at least 68,000 people in 1975, biinging with trrenr demand* la? more s c h o o l s , more highways, more recreational areas, hospital facilities and other services.

To meet tiiat challenge, he said, "requires energetic leadership and me support of informed citizens."

As a start in tiiat direction, die manager noted, the city already has available a revised and ex­panded zoning ordinance, a rec

Refreshments last night were furnished by the second grade. They were served by Mrs. Charles Clark, hospitality chairman, Mrs. Ivan Houlet Mrs. Harry Yanthis and Mrs. Pillmore.

Gordon E. Kent was elected to a forutii term as president of die Board of Managers of Rome Hospital at last night's meeting in the hospital.

Harold V. Clayton was reelected vice-president and Edward S. Jones, attending his first meeting, was elected secretary.

Kent was also re - elected pres­ident of the Board of Managers of Rome City Laboratory, with Dr. Edward D. Dake, vice - president, and Jones, secretary. Dr. Dake succeeds the late Dr. Dan Mellen.

The hospital ended die year with an operating gain of about $2,000, according to William R. Forse, hospital administrator.

He said the hospital's earnings last year totaled $867,903.07 and expenses totaled $811,620.23. But with die inclusion of the payment of $54,133 for retirement and So­cial Security (paid for hospital employes by the city) under hos­pital operating expenses this year, die operating gain of $56,000 comes to slightly less than $2,000.

Comparing the operating gain with that of previous years, tiiere were, with die exclusion of the retirement payment, operating losses of $1,460 in 1956, $46,000 in 1955, and $99,561.18 in 1954, and $122,099.54 in 1953.

Change In Method It was noted that die decision to

include die Social Security and re­tirement payments in the hospital's operating expenses, on die motion of Jay T. Sarles, is a ste\> toward aligning the hospital's bookkeeping methods with tfiose of die city.

In the past, the board has nev er included in its operating ex­penses these payments which are made by die city for die hospital employes.

Forse pointed out that for the first time since 1952 die cash re­ceipts have exceeded expenses. Re­ceipts, he said, were $813,497.45 and expenses, $811,620.23.

Noted was the fact diat after transferring funds amounting to $24,800 from the hospital operat­ing account to die city operating surplus, tiiere remained $719.38 in die former account.

In reporting on hospital opera­tions for December, Forse said there was an operating gain of $1,735.68.

Check Received In addition, the hospital received

a check of $15,411.69 from Hospi tal Plan Inc. as an adjustment for contract services during die first six months of 1957, Forse said.

When this is taken into account, it makes die total operating gain for the year $56,295.13 (a combina­tion of the $15,411.69, plus the $39,-147.16 operating gain for the first 11 months, plus die $1,736.68 oper­ating gain for December.)

His report showed total earnings t $71,198.39 and expenses at $69,-
