A Speed Trap Before A Death Trap One only has to drive along the street at any time any day at Ilia posted miles per hour limit and it will soon become apparent that many motorists are breaking the law Where are the police Well theyre patrolling the street at certain times as hey are patroll ing other streets in Newmarket and East Township How ever they cant be everywhere at once Davis Dr has been designated as a county road but York County has no police force From Yonge St to a few hundred yards cast of Dr on the north side Davis Dr is under the jurisdiction of East Township A few hundred yards east of Dr to Bayview Ave on the north side is under the jurisdiction of the Town of Newmarket From Bayview Ave east the north side of Davis Dr becomes the juris diction of East Township again But the entire length of Davis Dr on the south side is under the jurisdiction of Newmarket No wonder the two police departments are confuted The Era does not suggest restoring parking on both sides of Davis Dr or the installion of a number of traffic light- defeat the purpose for which the road was built the safe speedy flow Wife of the The way to do this is for York County To- and Newmarket to sit down and define which municipality has ji tion over what section of Davis Dr The Era suggests that motorists travelling west on Davis Dr policed by East and motorists travelling cast come iw the jurisdiction of Newmarket step is for the police to ice available the two fore fined and if This should be done with The speed limit enforcement should be so strict that every motorist will be aware that there is a speed limit on Davis Dr and that the police are watching them every minute If this program had been instituted when Davis Dr was widened the tragic death of two children on their way to Sunday School this week end might never have happened It is belter that Davis Dr be known as a speed trap than a death trap Beautify The Town The Newmarket Horticultural Society celebrated its 10th
