At a meeting Thurs- day, November 10th, representatives of the €ity Council and all service associations voted to call for completion of the direct East and West Highway and particularly the link from Peterborough to Port Perry. They finally rejected the lure of an "Airline High- way" from Peterborough to Brooklin, Pickering and Tordénto. They décided quickly that such a-phantasy, if realized, might be profitable to Toronto and interesting to "certain private persons" along the route but would do inestimable damage te: Peterborough business as well as practically destroying the good will built up during the past twenty years with other municipalities East, and They passed the following resolution: ee, "Be it resolved that-we request the Provincial Goverrment | and Department of Highways to proceed with the completion of all unfinished sections of the=Gentral Ontario Highways System-- the Central Ontario Highway, Port Perry via Yonge Street .and Orangeville and No. 7 Highway--within a period of three years construction work-in éach uncompleted division annually ;- And that this request be presented to the Government and Department of Highways as the FIRST OBJECTIVE of, all. muni- cipalities and Seryice organizations in Central Ontario from Sarnia to Ottawa and Montreal." : : . ~ . Over 150 Municipalities and Service Associations in Central and Western Ontario have taken the same stand and many mem- bers of the Provincial Legislature have given public endorsement to this programme. It is anticipated that all Municipalities, Ser- vice Associatiofis and members from Sarnia to. Ottawa will give their full support. . Th& weight of public opinion and popular de- mand leave no room for doubt that this is"a "Priority" Highway in Dual Highways and Nofthern Ontario projects must not monopolize highway appropriations." Ifairness, safety, economy and above the wishes of the people to be served are prim- ary\ considerations.
