ALLEN CITY MAKES CHANGES IN WARD LINES Five , Municipal Wards " Boundary Lines Revised , Here An ordinance revising, the boundaries of the five municipal muni-cipal wards of Provo city today to-day had been passed by the city commission. .The change in boundaries was necessary to conform to the recent revision of the city voting diatricta by the county commission, city officials said. ' To- remedy an overcrowded condition con-dition in many of the districts, the county commission established 23 voting: districts instead of the 19 which previously existed. Under the revision, some district lines crossed the lines' of the municapal wards, necessitating; a change in the boundaries of the latter, it was pointed out. " The municipal .wards as revised today, for the most part, cover the same territory, respectively, as before. : Purpose of the municipal wards Is to divide the city into five cones from which members of the board of education are elected. Under today's revision, each board member mem-ber still lives within the boundaries boundar-ies of the ward which elected him.

He admitted "there will always be a need for wage adjustments from time to time to rectify inequitable situations." situa-tions." Stabilization Sought "But labor as a whole will fare best from, a labor policy, which recognizes that wages in, the defense de-fense industries should not substantially sub-stantially exceed the prevailing wage rates In comparable non-defense industries where fair labor policies have been maintained," Mr. Roosevelt said in a special message to congress. "Already through the efforts of the national - defense mediation board and wage stabilization committees, com-mittees, wage standards are being established and a measure of wage stability Is being- sought to particular par-ticular industries. It is expected that, such activities wUl.be cpn- tiaued, extended; "and made in creasingly effective.
