Student Production Thrills Full House ONTARIO‘S FASTEST GROWING NEWSPAPER From Department of Highway plans, it is conceivable that the land running down the river side of Wallace Ave., may be used to construct a fast right turn exit from the highway, thus making the \traffic problem at the corner a little more bearable. A possible right turn cutâ€"off from Wallace Ave. onto the widened highway may also be built, and this has all the aspects of being a ‘good thing‘, because at the present, motorists turning right, quite often find themse}ves cutting over.into the <far: lane against flmfl“ traffic. \ The depth of the strip of land running from the east side of the arena, over the river, and 125 feet down Wallace‘Ave.. will be 27 feet. The department also is seeking easement for a deâ€" tour over the river, which will run about 100 feet north of the existing bridge. A Bailley Bridge will probably carry traffic over the river, at that point. Highway Department Seeks Land The Ontario Department of! Highway‘s offer to buy land needed for the proposed widenâ€" ing of Highway No. 7, was acâ€" cepted by Woodbridge council| last week. The land which lies in front of the arena, on Wallace Ave., and on the south side of Highway No. 7 is to be sold for the sum of $550. Few school activities of recent years have engaged so many students, and all voted it an inâ€" teresting and rewarding experiâ€" ence which made their hard work well worth while, apart from the sincere applause which they got for a nearly letterâ€"perâ€" fect effort.
