To suspend these lights at the Five Points would mean 21 wide span, but we doubt if it would be much greater than in I`illsonburg. Broadway, the main street, in that town, is very wide and the stop light is suspended from cables attached to buildings on each corner, 110 feet apart. A gentleman who had an active part in the installation at Tillson- burg tells us that this plan of installation has proven very satlsl'ueto1'y." The light in- stalled cost $475.00, which is a great deal less than was quoted when the subject was un- der dlscussion here last year.

THE QUESTION OF STOP LIGHTS If the Town (Jouncil is going to take any action regarding stop lights at the Five- Points this year, no time should be lost. The first thing to do would be to secure permission from the Highways i)cpui'trnent to make the installation. St. Marys Council wanted to in- stal stop lights but the Highways Dept. de~ clined to let them.

There has also been some ` agitation for compulsory inspection to re- '[move from the roads the hazard oi` defective automobiles. Over in Massachusetts they have [had compulsory inspection for some time and the tests have shown the need 01` such a mea- sure. or 118,000 cars inspected. 9817 werel found to have faulty steering gears and in ' the case of 1407 other autos, parts of these gears had to be replaced, while defects of less importance were discovered in a great many others. Defects in lights were even more num- erous. 39,728 cars requiring adjustments to be made. Figures such as these indicate that de y fective cars are sufficiently numerous to be a greater danger on our roads than most people imagine. . "LOAN SHARKS" In recent weeks the spotlight has been thrown upon the loan sharks". those un- scrupulous u.~:urer:: who prey upon unfortun- ate poor people eompelled to seek loans to re- lieve pressing` needs. The Toronto Better Bus- iness Bureau. which has been very active in the campaign against the "loan sharks" has given a number of instances of how these dis- tressed borrowers have been despoiled by the 1lSlll'(`l`S. One of the saddest cases reported by the Bureau had to do with an individual who became involved with ten "lo-an sli-.1rl These ten loans were made at various times. and varied from between $1000 and $102.00. To nine of the "loan sli-.1rks" he had to make payments every two weeks. and to the tenth.` he had to make 21 payment every month. Most , of these loans were for a period oi` two weeks and the longest period of time which was giv- en for any one loan was 26 weeks. The high- est. rate or interest paid on the loans which he made was the amount he paid every two weeks on :1 loan oi` $10.00 for which he signed 11 DOM` ff)!` $13.00, The` interact nnrl l\}\nI-non nn ._., - THE LIBRARY A GREAT ASSF/I` St`.
