to sand highways contrary to what may be a gen eral impression there is no law to compel either the highways depart ment or a municipality to sand icy roads when highways and city streets are sanded it is only a courtesy service and entails no responsibility on the part of the government department or the municipality a toronto transport firm discov ered this when it sought damages from the highways department following an accident lgst winter one of the firms trucks got out of control on an icy surface andp i 1 v- plowed through the rouge bridge i f ltqm l0c31 lffim carrying the driver to his death the highways department cnr passenger agent r a which had taken considerable burch of toronto came out this criticism without reply for its line last week as far as lindsay to xixetyfour on dec 26 one of the oldest men in the district mr ezra clubine reached his 94th birthday on friday dec 26 he is unable to leave his bed indicating that the weight of years are finally making inroads on his long life of good neaith at 90 years mr clubine convers ed with a representative of this paper and possessed a remarkably clear mind recalling boyhood events with a clarity of a man half his years however the years take their toll and this venerable citizen accordingly is not enjoying life as he would like to have it steckley of toronto interment was made in stayner cemetery on saturday buffet car removed alleged failure to anticipate the icy conditions considered the firms claim the last straw it immediately entered a counterclaim for dam age to the bridge the issue was settled last week when the firm paid over 1300 with out going into court and at the same time withdrew its own claim the department has collected about 30000 this year from motor ists who have damaged bridges knocked down cable posts and destroyed other highway property conversely enough while toron to may sand its roads when not compelled by law to do so it doesnt sand its street sidewalks despite the fact that under the municipal act it is the city responsibility to remove such a hazard when it develops from ice perform a mission which he found most difficult to carry out he went to lindsay to report to mayor chas lamb that the buffet car he had been instrumental in having put into service on the lindsay- toronto run was being withdrawn mr burch said the car was being withdrawn because of the scarcity of these cars which existed on heavily travelled lines he said that he was extremely sorry to have to make the move but that when cars of this type became more plentiful he was sure the
