far distant when lifesaving apparatus will be compulsory part of the equipment around lakes and ponds according to a recent survey made indicating the number of drownings in the area around toronto it is the opinion of one toronto legal man that municipalities are obligated to provide equipment some places like mimico have provided a watcher charged with the duty of keeping an eye on the children this of course would be expensive although usually someone on relief and a good swimmer is employed dr walter shier of uxbridge coroner for ontario county gave his opinion in a recent in terview that there should be some protection while life- savers are favored who are good swimmers there are drownings just the same their duty is to watch the children however and few accidents are reported among this class a watch for instance would not likely have prevented a recent accident at musselmans lake where no children have lost their lives and it can be truthfully said for this lake that fatal accidents are few and far beween con sidering the thousands who pat ronize this resort take the credit river for instance which is dominion waters there have been 600 saved from being drowned and two lifesavers have been employed at the mouth of the river at port cre dit who accomplished this feat no such opportunity for good work like this would be occas ioned at musselman over a per iod of seven years time reckon ed on however consideration might be given by the authorities to providing life belts and other equipment for emergency use such as is coming into vogue at many swimming places
