The first honor dinner was given in 1916 to Roger B. Williams, sr. The following year Dr, Liberty Hyde Bailey was the guest of honor, and last year the honor was bestowed upon Jacob Rothschild. Henry A. St.

John was the third mayor of the City of Ithaca. With Mayor Edwin C. Stewart he shares the unique distinction of being the son of a former president of the Village of Ithaca. Mr. St.

John was inaugurated mayor on March 4, 1891. In another respect he is a close parallel to the present mayor, for he was nominated at a caucus of citizens of all parties. In spite of his opposition he was persuaded to bead a bipartisan ticket. Although he was a Democrat, his own party put a full ticket in the field against the bi-partisan ticket. The bi-partisan ticket was successful by the unprecedented majority of 893.

Splendid Service to City. During the St. John administration many of the most important streets were paved with macadam and brick, and sewers were installed. Mr. St.

John gave much of his time to the supervision of the work. His training as a civil engineer saved the city many thousands of dollars, for he served without remuneration. Within the last few weeks the citizens of Ithaca have had evidence of the value of preventive work in which Mr. St. John took a prominent part.

While neighboring cities were suffering from floods the creeks of Ithaca were carrying off the water without damage to property. Mr. St. John was made chairman of the Creek, Drainage and Park Commission in 1906. The creeks were dredged and retaining walls were during his chairmanship.

His last public position was superintendent of public works. He took office in 1909 and served without compensation until the new charter with its Board of Public Works had been put into full effect. IMPORTANT AUTOMOBILE CLUB MEETING TONIGHT A meeting of the Ithaca Automobile Club, when important business vitally affecting every member is to be discussed, will be held at 8 tonight in the Dutch Kitchen at the Ithaca Hotel. The question of withdrawing from affiliation with the New York State With the mild weather of the last few days the work of opening tje roads of the county to automobile travel has progressed rapidly. Yesterday afternoon the last link in the road to Elmira was freed from snow when a foVce of men after shoveling practically, two days continually succeeded in making a way through the drifts in Bacon Hollow, the worst spot on the entire route.

The drifts in' some places in that section were more ''Jan 10 feet deep, and the snow was packed in solidly, making an icy barrier which would require weeks of sunshine to remove. L. Classen, operator of the Ithaca-Elmira bus line got through with his car yesterday afternoon for the first time since January 19. He will begin regular trips Saturday morning, after two months withcut service due to the drifted condition of the roads. Tie road now is pretty fair condition, Mr.

Classen says. The roads this year have been the worst in it is said, although two years ago the Elmira road was closed from January 11 to March 4. but little effort then was to reopen it, while this year, everything possible has been done to keep tae roads shoveled out. Mr. Classen in January employed a forca of men to scrape the Xewfield road which proved a material help at this time in restoring traffic to normal conditions.
