Barrie SAFETY FIRST Mr MacNee told council the departments first obligation was to the motorist and his safety and that regulatory signs were the chief considera tion He added that second ary consideration was direc tional signs and that no con slderation was given to sclling town or its businesses You must make the motor ist want to come to Barrie or patronize your businesses he said nod we will show him how to get there safely The engineer said that as for us he knew the department was only in receipt of three letters from motorists complaining about lack of municipal infom ailon signs on super highways He added however that they were in receipt of plenty of letters from irate councils and owners of service establish merits MORAL OBLIGATION Mr MacNee said the depart ment tobusinessmon on old highways that have been bypassed by new super highways He add ed however that the obligation was greater toward motorists and the necessity of telling him where he is and where he is going In reference to hotel food and fuel signing Mr MaeNee said that these were erected only on department would give no can request He said the sideration to putting such signs onexits already
