delegation of two other citizens of aurora appeared before whitchurch coun cil on thursday evening making a formal request for financial assist ance to install a 4light signal sys tem at the eastern entrance to that town over the cnr tracks near the old mill on the suburban road mr sparks outlined the dangers from poor vision at this crossing and said the total cost for electric signal system would be 3800 with an annual upkeep of about 300 per year as many whitchurch farmers travel this road the dele gation suggested the township bear part of the cost reeve sparks pointed out that auroras share of the installation cost would be in the neighborhood of 350 with up keep charges annually of about 45 he suggested that whitchurch bear half the cost levied against aurora no action was taken by whit church council on the ground that a similar situation arose at stouff ville where that municipality paid their own costs without help from outside and that right in whit church several level crossings pre sent a similar danger and- ere long the municipality may be called on to install signal systems of their own deputy reeve evans said we have so many crossings equally dangerous although not with the same amount of traffic as going in to aurora hence it would not be wise for us to contribute in this case councillor ed logan said he thought a signal at the aurora crossing would be a good idea but he viewed the situation the same as the deputy reeve respecting the townships participation in the cost councillor les harper said whit church will be confronted with similar situations and the town ship will certainly have to bear their own costs reeve leary couldnt see where whitchurch had any responsibility and in view of the problem outlin ed he- thought council took the right
