Authorid as Second-Class Mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa "r orewarned is Forearmed" Alter scores of accidents had eccurred--imany of them iatal-- on the Queen Elizabeth Way, ac- tion was taken and a caution light was installed Last week, at the corner of the Kerguson Highway and Main strect two cars collided. Lortu- nately, n0 One was seriously in- jured but the story might well have read ditterently, Kesidents and business men who are situated in the area tell us that it is nothing short of mir- aculous that there have been as iew serious accidents to date. At a speed of at least thirty miles an hour and oiten more, drivers sail through the intersection and bya split second miss colliding with the car proceeding up Main street. Garage owners on the corner say that at least three times a day they hold their breath and wait for the rending of steel. A resident tells of the driver of a truck heavily loaded with lumber who realized the danger too late, applied the brakes and came toa stop at Broadway street. Authorities at once point to the fact that there is a large checker- board at the turn which should alert drivers. Further south on the highway is a "Slow" sign, Neither one is adequate. The Slow sign could refer to anything-- it could be taken to refer to in- town speed limit which is ignored by 95 of the people driving cars. It does not indicate in any way why you should go slowly, As for the checker-board, suddenly you are upon it and it is too late. If you are not a particularly cau- tious driver, which few of us are, you would sense that the High- way continued straight ahead. A right angle turn is the last thing in your mind: | This is precisely what can be remedied., Many residents have suggested a caution light. We do not be- lieve that it would prove an ad- vantage over the checker-board as incredible as it may seem, it has been proven that having dri- ven many miles without caution lights, even the best drivers often fail to spot them in time to come to a stop. Therefore we suggest that long before the danger spot is reached, a large conspicuous "danger ahead" sign and a clear picture of the right angle turn be erected. Citizens' Responsibility With no intention to criticize the municipal authorities, who are handicapped with a Budget that does not allow for large expendi- tures on a road program for this year, we would like to call atten- tion to a situation which has ex- isted for some time at the Miseri- hordia Hospital and, in particular, at St. Mary's Sanitorium. This writer attempted to put herself in the position of a patient with a severe fracture arriving in Haileybury by train on a stretch- er, The road from Rorke avenue to the admittance entrance, though short, has been in a de- plorable condition.

'he only solution to the problem is a paved road. Regarding the Sanitorium, a visit ther during the dry weather revealed that dust from this same road is so heavy that the obser- vation was made that "it is not unlike the Sahara Desert". One can well imagine the disappoint- ment of five patients who came here irom London, Ontario, with the natural expectation of dry, clear air to find it polluted with dust, Las We havea Hospital which pro- vides essential services for all of us. Are we not responsibe for providing essential services for them? Water Wells Are Condemned Speed Traps to be Installed (Continued from Page 1) plications at the town office prior to July 23rd. On behalf of himself and his neighbors, john MHallworth re- ceived the sympathetic ear of the entire council when he told them that the Temiskaming Health Unit had tested the water wells on their stret and condemned his own, G. Warrener's and T. Suth- eran's. Seepage had apparently been the cause, Other wells in the area belong to J. Sutheran, A. Russell and L. Childs, Mr. Hall- worth said that he realized it was no fault of the council's but that "the Government had tested the wells and found them unfit and that it was time the Government did something about having the area which is considered outside the service limit, serviced". "It is not as if we were living n the backwoods", Mr. Hallworth said, "and furthermore the danger of children getting typhoid should not be overlooked". Council was in full agreement with Mr, Hall- worth and the Government will be notified of the seriousness of the situation and as soon as they re- ceive permission to go outside the service area, a project wil be map- ped out. A certain percentage of property owners whose property this line will go past will have to agree to pay the cost under local improvements Council then heard a strong complaint irom Mr, George Byles who demanded that "Florence street at least be made passable for cars if nothing more." Several councillors, the mayor and the town toreman have recognied the poor condition of this hill and studied the situation; however, Mr. Byles felt that the time for action was long overdue, - He agreed with council that it might well be impossible for him to build town foreman have recognized the time, he did not intend to spend another winter going out 4: inter- vals to move his car so others could pass. He pointed out that the side of the road now built up is actually the middle of the road. The road itself is some 10' short of what it should be. Council as- sured him that they would look at it again and see what could be done -- Mr. 'Byles left with the suggestion that they should at least grade it and level it and he would be satisfied, The north part of the street above Brewster is also in poor condition -- however two years ago to take care of the excess amount of water, the road from Brewster to the Lake Shore, the ditched and graded and from 3rewster to the Lake Shore; the south side was ditched. : The mayor received the reports of various committees, The Works Department have a program of road improvements well under way It is their intention to im- prove as many roads each year as they possibly can. The Depart- ment of Highways grader has as- sisted in work on Albert street and Marcella street where the be- ginning has been made, The most important feature of a good road is good drainage and citizens who have gone to some effort to fix their driveway are asked to real- ize that the grader will go right down the side of the road and a 12" inch pipe will be installed at every crossing which will be grad- ed and ditched. It was pointed out that if the practice is made of levelling the boulevard too, the grass will grow up on a smooth area and citizens will be glad to to the Old Es S. MARLOW are sold.

Councillor Gough said that they were still having difficulty at the Beach with persons tampering with the life savers and also pointed out that dogs are not al- lowed at the Beach. The approved budget was re- ceived and a resuscitator will be ordered right away- $425.00 has already been contributed to this item by the [.0:D.E., the C.W.L., the Red Cross and the Women's Auxiliary of the Legion. Total cost of this Stevenson resuscita- tor complete with extra cylinders is $565,00. At the last meeting of council, the municipal police were in- structed to instal speed traps in town. At first the Commissioner turned the idea down, but Con- stable Barry advised council that a further report has been receiv- ed stating "that as a result of similar requests there would be no objection to mechanical speed traps where a community re- quests it." A letter from the Constable at Penetang pointed out that the system has been adopted there and had been highly successful, On Contable Barry's recom- mendation, four signs will be put up in town reading "Warning! Speed Trap in Operation" and council will take the necessary steps to get this mechanical de- vice (which relieves the officer of a great percentage of the respon- sibility) in operation, The con- stable is particularly concerned with speeding on the Lake Shore Road. The intersection at Rorke and Main street was discussed and it was decided that the Department of Highways be notified that- a sign be erected on Rorke ave- nue south of Main street for mo- torists approaching from the south "that the highway turns right" and that an intermittent flashing light be installed. A resolution was unanimously passed that the Ideal Dairy would be charged a flat rate of $35.00 per month on a temporary basis for a period of six months. This arose from a feeling that the pre- sent rate was much.too high and this. greatly needed addition to industry in town could not stand the present expenditure. -- / It was a sultry night and the Mayor and Councillors would like to thank: E.
