Chief King inquired regarding sign boards .for towns, and the answer from Mr. McLeod was that they might be put up. but it would be difficult to have their injunctions observed. The Chief's idea was to control reckless drivers. Ald. Byrne tfelt satised there should be no change in the speed rate in this town. He thought the ten miles an hour limit at intersec~ tions served all purposes. He didn't think a car could run 30 miles an hour on Ba1'rie s streets and the driver be zuble to retain his seat.

In this regard Mr. Henry pointed out that pedestrians include chil- dren and that experience had shown that in fact where an accident occurs, the motorist usually has been found to be at fault.

Personally, however, he felt that with a clear road,_ a speed of 35 miles an hour was within a. reason- able limit of salfety.

With regard to hand signals, Mr. MacLaren considered the out- stretched hand should convey the in- telligence to a. driver in the rear to slow down and have his machine in control. This was concurred in by others. Mr `Hpnrv thought great mg sent out. Mr. Jeffs appeared to feel that the clipping was intended to impress him. .Mr. Jeifs considered, ho\ve\*e1~, that ordinarily the onus should rest with the driver, as the law provides.
