JURISDICTION OF AUTOMO- BILE TRAFFIC. | An Ontario correspondent raisesl the question as to where we should ` look for regulation of the automobile traffic on our. country roads. The answer is that the jurisdiction lies in the hands of the Provincial Legis- lature, on` which we must depend for 'laws regulating the traffic. This is apparent from the following quota-| tion from` the Ontario Statutes, 1906,; Chapter 46,Section 6, which reads :1 ' I No motor vehicle shall be run' upon any public highway within any city, town or incorporated villageiat a greater speed than ten miles an `hour, or upon any public highway outside of any city, town or incor- porated village at a greater speed than fteen miles an hour. Provided that the council of any city, town, township or village may by by-law set apart any public street or high- .`way, or any part thereof, on whichl motor vehicles may be driven at anyl higher rate of speed than herein lim- ited, for the purpose of testing the same, and may pass by-laws for re- gulating and governing the use of any such street or highway, or part thereof, for the purpose aforesaid. That is to say, the law of 1906, lwhich is yet in force, prescribed cer- 'tain general rules applicable all over the Province, xing rates of speed,i |and generally regulating the use of motor vehicles on the highways, ex- cept that power was given local mun- icipalities to set aside certain roads as speedways, the councils being' empowered to pass by-laws regulat- ing the use of these, } The principle herein adhered to,i of general Provincial = regulations, with prescribed municipal lati- tude for by-laws, is unquestion- ably the proper one._ To place the control of_the traffic in the hands of various municipalities, allowing one to prevent entirely and another to pass any kind of by-law it chose, `would entail all kinds of embarass- ments and inconvenience to motor- lists, and. lead to great confusion. The Farmer s Advocate believes in strict regulations, but they -must be of Prov- incialapplication, so _th-at chauffeurs may readily inform themselves con- J.R.HAMBL Y6 -Incubators and Brooders- WAR VS..
