One of traffic hazards seems be the corner of Main Street Water Street lit Newmarket Since the corner has been widened to be worse because of the increased speed and the increas ing volume of traffic What seems to bother motorists more than anything the left hand Street onto Water Street Main Streets is wider at the and since there are ho markings to designate the centre of the motorists attempting a left hand turri onto Street invari ably crowd over encroach on the wrong traffic lane In rush hours a motorist lisuklly- finds himself holding up a long line of traffic and as a result he is under pressure to hurry and fake chances while turn ing onto Water Street Traffic usually is too fast com- from the west and his chances of not receiving at the least a creased fender are slim The roads council would be wise to consider a traffic light for this corner Sufficient complaints arid talking finally resulted in the erection of traffic lights at the corner of Main and Davis Drive There is as great a need for lights at Main and Water Water Street like Davis Drive is a county road and it would seem reasonable that the town and the county share the cost of a new set of lights there CONSERVATION AND WASTE Waste mocks the well meaning people who talk about conservation Every week piles of waste paper are burned by householders and store owners Where this newspaper- is published tons of scrap paper are burned because the price obtainable for waste paper does not meet the cost of shipping it to city If large enough quantities can be shipped at one time possibly the return would pay the cost of shipping but storage space does not thiSt When it comes down to figures then preventing costs money in some cases But how can we explain this to the grade eight student who is taught that one must not waste mater ials that there must not be wanton destruction of bur forests On one hand- we teach the youngsters that conservation of forests and the planting of trees is necessary to preserve our natural resources and on the other hand we burn newsprint which could be salvaged and used again The question the grade eight pupil will ask is why then is conservation necessary Try and think of the right answer for him MINOR m m m An once said that the tax on smokes kept the army going the lax on spirits kept the navy going Or was it vica versa We read a comment Am in a British newspaper recently ire Chron icle which says that but for the amiable nli nor vices of the nation the country would be queer street It is stranger still tliat those who spend it not inconsid erable part of their lives clamoring for the abolition of opportunity to pander to these vices should have no alternative method of raising revenue to finance of those charitable undertakings which the State has taken over from private bene voknice A great literary figure once observed that if the Almighty had mail to smoke I would have I hi m a It seems almost incredible that of the millions of which went up in in the year iftct State to the tune of million pounds pro duced million spirits million j 11 million What would the of were good asks the Chronicle time to the British press to task for making too much fuss about McCarthy rind says he is a little man who is becoming a public and is wasting public time Maybe that is true The Financial Post but the press in Britain and other countries have reason to remember that some of the Worlds greatest trouble makers were also men making a of themselves in their early days why so cautious There was some discussion during a town council meeting this week about assessing industries The had been made that a firm of experts be hired to assess the industries in Newmarket the town as sessor it was said did not feel qualified to assess in- plants Two members of the council said that sUch a would be unwise and another said should tread oh this cautiously Another added- that the suggestion harks back to earlier days when there was industrial assessment rumpus We nothing about firm of experts which would assess the industries for the but we fail to agree with the members a against hiring the firm if they can be called arguments Along with Reeve Dales we ask the question Arent we entitled to know the truth I the local assessor can not or does not have sufficient information to assess industrial plants then some means should be found to acquire a correct valuation of the plants in Newmarket If fac tories are assessed on an incorrect basis then correc tions should be made By saying this we are not saying that assessments on existing industries should be raised One member of council said that industries volun tarily raised their own assessments in 1945 and that in 1943 a second increase was made on assessments In charges were laid against a board of assessors in Newmarket when one Newmarket citizen claimed that industries were underassessed There were no convic tions This probably was the rumpus referred to in council We fail to see what bearing it has on check ing present day industrial assessments Why- should council be so cautious We have always understood that assessments are based on facts and if- trained per sons are required to obtain the facts then they should be hired We fail to see why it would be unfair to in dustry to find out the facts IS IT REALLY THAT GOOD Ottawa Journal
