started accidentally through its automatic transmis sion and out of control it rolled down a street in hit a hydro pole and then rolled on and killed fouryearold Ken neth Townslee Toronto The accident happened on Milt St on Saturday Mrs Herbert Thompson Spruce St Newmarket who was climb ing into her husbands car ac cidentally stepped on the accel erator while the motor was run ning and in the automatic trans mission gear She was entering the car from the left and Andrew Thompson Mount Albert was getting in on the right Her hus band was waiting to take the wheel The car started forward glanced off a pole A few hund red feet down the street Ken neth Townslee was playing The car rolled on and struck him Mrs Thompson said she did not know how to drive a car and could not stop it Cars have become too automa tic said Dr Newmarket This accident can be blamed on the cars automatic transmission and Im afraid there will be others Chief Constable Joseph Jar- dine investigated the accident Reeve Evans favored the pro ject which he said would mean an extra levy of one mill on the Newmarket general tax rate It will cost Newmarket 104000 Other members of council were not so enthused about the project In fact the motion did not show that council approved It Was passed to proceed and in troduce the bylaw which will require discussion and three readings before it is passed or voted down Council is introducing the by law on what the municipal act calls the initiative plan It will call for a local improvement project all taxpayers to pay half the cost The other half of the cost would be levied against St cost would be levied against Main St property owners over a peri of years Mr Evans said he was defin itely in favor of it because it would only mean an extra mill on the tax rate He said it would cost the town as much if the pro ject were dropped According to the engineers estimate main tenanee of the road would cost 3000 to a year if it were left in its present condition The reeve informed council previously that York County will pay the cost of putting the centre feet of roadway in good condition and then turn the re sponsibility of maintenance over to the town The county has al ways maintained the centre roadway Councillor chairman of the road and bridge committee changed his mind since last week and supported the plan- He said that the fact that 3000 to 4000 would have to be spent on upkeep anyway puts a different light on everything Reeve Evans said the Toronto and York roads commission had no authority to make a deal It had been suggested last week that he and Mr VanZant see the commission in hopes of obtain ing part of the countys budget ed allotment for the road pro gram with the idea of carrying out a smaller project on Main St It is rather the county finance committee which decides the policy not the commission said Air Evans Besides asking for such a thing puts us in an em barrassing position because New market for years has been asking the county to fix up the street Mrs V said I would like to see a new Main St as well as but I am definitely not in favor of spend ing any more money I do not think we should go ahead with the project If the bylaw is passed coun cil will be required to give notice of the local improvement plan by publication and notices will be served on the owners lots on Main St If the property owners do not petition against it we can take if for granted that they in favor of said Mayor Vale I would say that if they petition against it its dead for good he added Why should merchants pay on a local improvement basis asked Councillor Boyd They are getting the benefit replied Councillor I dont know that they are getting any more benefit than the average resident declared Mr Boyd all it is the main street It belongs to every one Councillor Dales also disagreed with a policy of charging Main St property owners half of the cost Mayor Vale said he did not ex pect the bylaw to be before council at the next meeting I expect it will take the solicitor some time to prepare it There is a lot of data to get together he said WHITCHURCH FARM SHOWN IN CONTEST John was last weeks lucky
