The Advance believes that if the plan adopted by the Timmins police were used in every muniâ€" cipality and carried through with the same earnâ€" esthess and thoroughness, the number and the seriousness of motor car accidents would soon deâ€" crease to the vanishing point. There are so many discouragements and disadvantages in enforcing the law, however, that the police of other places are not to be too much condemned. For instance, a man convicted of some minor offense, will be liable under the law to a term of thirty days in jail, while for endangering scores of lives by drunken driving he will escape with ten or fifteen days‘ imprisonment. It does seem the fact that the penalties for certain breaches of the traffic laws should be increased, and also that there should be more general cancelling of licenses to drive where drivers show tendency to endanger the safety of others. In this connection it is inâ€" teresting to read a number of clippings brought inâ€" to The Advance office by a friend of this paper and a friend of law enforcement. These clippings are from recent issues of Old Country newspapers, and they make very interesting reading.. One of them tells of the case of Frederick C. Woods, of Lord‘s Gate Lane, who was sent to jail for one month with nard labour for driving a motor car while under the influence of liquor. He was also fined one. pound (approximately $5) for not being insured. against third party risks. The final penalty this: man received possibly hurt him more than even the jail termâ€"he was debarred from driving a motor vehicle for the next two years John F. V. Gatty, of Houghton, near Preston, was fined one hundred pounds, ordered to pay over twentyâ€"one pounds costs, and had his license to drive suspendâ€" ed for ten years, for being in charge of a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor. A police officer said he found Gatty lying in the car in a drunken stupor. Still another clipping shows that in Liverpool even ar original style of story will not evade punishment even when there seems grounds for believing the story. The attention of the authorities in such cases seems to be centred on the fact that the public is endangered. In this Liverpool case, Harold Herbert Eccles pleaded guilty to driving away a motor car without lawful authority, to driving dangerously, and to driving without a license or insurance. His story was that he was in a state of coma through a sudden attack of malaria. The accused was fined heavily and also was disqualified from holding a license for two years. Even the motor cyclists do not escape the rigors of the law in England, according to another of the newspaper clippings. Robert John Edgar exceeded the speed limit. The chief constable On several occasions The Advance has t.akem opportunity to note that it believes that the Timâ€" mins police force has adopted the best system to give the public the maximum of protection from what is sometimes termed the "menace of the motor car." The Timmins police appear to have adopted the plan of simply enforcing the various rules and regulations of the traffic laws. This seems to be an eminently logical method in view of the fact that all the highway traffic rules and regulations are designed with the purpose of proâ€" tecting the public in general, including motorists themselves. There may be some parts of the law that do not appear to have any bearing on the matter of safety, but on consideration it will be found that indirectly at least they have a connecâ€" tion with the general protection of the public. It is only a few days ago that a good citizen of Timâ€" mins asked how the keeping of trucks off the roads on Sunday would advance the public safety. The next Sunday there was tragic proof that the perâ€" fect enforcement of this part of the law would have saved one human life. It is not possible for the local police to achieve perfect enforcement of the law, because there are not enough men on the force and because they have jurisdiction only over the cars and drivers in town. But enough has been shown to prove that the local police idea of a close checkâ€"up on cars and drivers is a vital factor in protecting the public. There will be general apâ€" proval of the fact that the local police are conâ€" tinuing their work of striving to make the streets safe for all. Saturday night they made a number of arrests on various serious charges, each of these cases actually working to the saving of life and injury. Defective brakes are a serious source of1 danger to the travelling public. The local police are constantly checking up on poor brakes. Drunkâ€" l en drivers are recognized as a genuine menace,i and the local police keep a constant lookâ€"out forl these fellows. Speeders and reckless drivers are carefully watched and checkedâ€"up and those with ' defective lights or no lights at all are constantly called to account by the local police. This system of preventing trouble has worked well in ridding the town of burglaries and breakâ€"ins. It appears to be equally effective in guarding the town against serious motor accidents.. The occasional serious accident in town simply proves the good sense of the local police in their work of enforcing the various features of the traffic laws.

This is a case in which passing attention should be paid to the conceited claim. Mayor Richardson and all the councillors did their best to secure the most favourable terms for theâ€"town in the new franchise. In an interview with one of the counâ€" cillors last week the matter was phrased very aptly when credit was given not only to the mayor and councillors but to the power company officials. It would be well for the citizens to disregard the inâ€" sidious propaganda carried on for purely personal and selfish reasons against the power company. A study of the situation will show that the power company has shown courtesy and consideration through the years. No Timmins man can justly claim credit for this. The same attitude has been shown all through the North. It is very evidently the policy of the company. Voluntary reductions in rates have been made all through the North, deâ€" spite the mean attitude of a few in one or two cenâ€" tres. The power company has given excellent service and been silént under considerable misâ€" representation and abuse. Only the other day the township of Whitney secured very satisfactory rates and terms under a franchise. No doubt one Timmins councillor would claim all the credit for. that if there were any votes in it for him He would be as fully justified as he is toâ€"day in assumâ€" ing credit for shaping the policy of the company. |__After studying the question carefully and earnâ€" estly for months it is the unanimous opinion of mayor and councillors tnat the terms of the franâ€" chise are very satisfactory and that the electors would do well‘to endorse this byâ€"law. One counâ€" , cillor, disliking, perhaps, to admit that he was wholly wrong in opposing the idea of a renewal of the franchise, says now that he has been opposed to any form of franchise. It is an odd attitude to f assume after attempting to force on the people a 'perpetual franchise for the Hydro Electric Comâ€" mission. Reasonable people will feel that a franâ€" chise is very desirable in a case where such favourâ€" able rates are offered as those in the new agreeâ€" ment. It is worth much to the town to be assured of rates like those given in the new franchise, especially in view of the voluntary reductions made in past years by the Northern Ontario Power Comâ€" pany when conditions made it practical to allow rates below those set by the franchise then in exâ€" istence. Ten years ago an official of the power company speaking to the Timmins board of trade said that although the franchise did not compel any reductions, voluntary revisions downward of the rates for light and power would be made when the business warranted it. This promise, as all know, has been amply fulfilled in the past, and so it is not unfair to say that the franchise rates are simply maximum rates and that the people will share in any special prosperity that may come to the company through the fact that it pioneered the mining areas as well as the towns of the North. some of the members of council feel they have a genuine grievénce against the conceited claim published by one councillor that he was responsible for all the good points of the new agreement with the power company. This one councillor takes all his false stands with this double idea in view:â€"If his false claim is not disputed, he can say:â€""See, they cannot contradict me. I must be right. Isn‘t that great?" On the other hand if he is conâ€" tradicted he can say:â€"*"See, they‘re paying attenâ€" tion to me! Isn‘t that lovely." On Nov. 5th the electors of Tin’lmins will vote on a byâ€"law to grant a tenâ€"year franchise to the Northern Ontario Power Company for the supplyâ€" ing of power and light to the town. A study of the rates offered in this new franchise shows that the terms of the new franchise are most advantageâ€" ous to the town. The rates are lower than those promised by the Hydro Electric Commission survey here some months ago, and in this connection it is well to remember that the Hydro Commission has failed to offer any alternative to the town. As in the early days of the camp, the Hydro Commission toâ€"day has left Timmins to depend on private enâ€" terprise.
