Lapp. SOMETHING TO KNOW The New Rules of 'The Road--De- manded by the Highways L'raffic Act. * On December 31 the New Highway Traftic Act came into force through- out Ontario. For some years the traffic laws of the Province have been covered by three separate Acts, the Motor Vehicles Act,' the Load or Vehicle Act, and tne Highway Travel Act. lt was decided to consolidate all traffic laws in one Act to be known as the Highways Traffic Act, which was passed during the 1923 session of the Legislature. A few of the more important points are briefly summarized as follows: The speed limits are the same as before, viz., 26 miles an hour in the country and 20 miles in cities, towns and villages, with limits of 10 miles and 12% miles an hour-in corpora- tions and in the country respectively past intersections where the view is obstructed. Nowithstanding the speed limits stated above anyone who drives a motor vehicle recklessly or negilgent- ly or in a manner dangemous to the public is liable to a maximum penalty of $200, shall be liable to imprison- ment up to 60 days gnd may have the permit for the «car cancelled for a period of not greater than 6 months. Where a speed greater than 40 miles an hour is made the offender is sub- ject to the same penalties and magis- trates have no option other than to treat it as reckless driving. When cars are standing on the road one light caried on the left side will be allowed if it is clearly visible for |a distance of 200 feet from the front and rear and shows white in front and red to the rear, Brakes are subjeet-to inspection by police officials. . No flangers or clamps are allowed on wheels which may in any way injure the road. No vehicle which with their loads weighs more than ten tons can use the roads without special permits, Up to December 31st, 1925, motor trucks which with their loads exceed ten tons in weight, and which were previously registered in Ontario may receive special permits to carry a maximum load of five tons. After January 1, 1926, motor trucks motor trucks with their loads must not weigh more than eight tons. All vehicles with, tires less than 6 inches in widti must not have a greater load on any wheel than will exert a préssure of 500 pounds for each inch in width. Thus a 6 inch tire must not carty a total weight greater than 2,600 pounds. For tires er coupon holders on Saturday. These the rim will be hockey players some day. over 6 inches in width the maximum | Spotlights will be permitted, pgo- vided they are stationary and are attached to the left of the motor vehicle, with the light directly to the right hand side striking the road within 75 feet in front of the vehicle. Movable spotlights are not allowed. Probably the most outstanding change in the Act is that providing for the reeording of convictions on the permit issued for motor vehicles and for the cancellation of the per- mits on three ai tions for certain offences. Permit cards will have space provided on them for the re- cording of convictions and motorists who are summoned will be required to present these in court in order that the magistrates may endorse them. The amount of the fines and the can- cellation of permits, in many cases, depend on the number of convictions and the above procedure is necessary in order that the magistrates may know how many previous convictions have been made. At the same time magistrates report all convictions to the Minister of Highways, who-may at any time for misconduct or for violation of the provisions of the Act or any regulations thereunder sus- pend or cancel any permit or license. A new provision in the Act that motorists will appreciate-is the limit often days required for the serving of summonses. In the past uneces- sary time has elapsed befween the offence and the serving of the sum- monses. The limit of ten days may however be extended by the magis- trates in cases where" it is evident that offenders could not be served or were intentionally avoiding service of summons, . hd on,the time during which civil action for recovery of damages occasioned by motor vehicles may be taken. In the past action could be brought at any time, long after details of the alleged injury were forgotten and long after witnesses: could be retain- ed. The new 8 des that no action shall be brought after six months following : CHURCHES py; SEPARATE - ENTITIES 'Anti-Unionists i a victory yes- terday before the Private Bills Com- mitte of the Legislature when, by a vote of 36 to 26, an amendment fo the Church Union Bill was adopted pro- viding for the pre: three Church bodi; 8 the right, by vote, to remain in its Mother Church. Mr, Crawford, cause in the body of the, audience. An amendment was moved by Mr. Keith and Seconded by Mr, Lewis, as follows: "That the bill be amended- by add- ing a clause providing that where a congregation of a Presbyterian churchor a portion thereof is opposed to uniting in accordance with the bill, the assets of the said church shall be distributed on the same basis as the census taken of the congregation shows a percentage for and against Union, and where the parties are unable to agree, distribution of all assets shall be made by ashbitration,' and those opposed to Union shall re- main as a Presbyterian Church." Mr, Fisher said he thought Mr, Keith's amendment unworkable. Mr Finlayson by his amendment was not allowing them to unite, he was allow- ing some of them to go out of the Church and join some other Church. Mr, Willson of Windsor declared he was in favor of the amendment. speaking last, held there was nothing to amend. until the ittee had di d the principl of the bill. "The principle is not discussed, and until that is done any- thing in the shape of an amendment or an a d t to the a d is out of order." The vote was taken and stood 26 to 86. By the action of the Legislature of Ontario one prominent Anti-Unionist stated the bill is virtually defeated in this Province. The action of "the Government, he thought, would have a far reaching effect on the Dominion Government's attitude toward the bill , When it came up in tHe Federal House A limitation hdg also been placed | stood he said, that the real fight on the bill would be in Ontario -and the Dominion Parliament, and the action by 'this Province, he declared, would be felt throughout all Canada. The legislation which is sought in the Provinces as well as at Ottawa, purely concerns the property-holding rights of the United Church. Under the British North America Act, re- ferring to property and civil rights, it is required that before the United Church 'may hold property vested in the various churches throughout the Provinces, Provincial Legislation must be enacted. * - We would like very much © to. have you come in and 0 .- We have avery fine line, from the kitchen and. bed- room papers abe 10 Cents a Roll to the highest priced living room papers.
