Under the head of finance he pointed out that the gasoline tax, through increase of traffic, had this year more than made up for the rev- enue loss occasioned through the re- duction of motor 1cense fees this year by five dollars. He stated that the gasoline tax had been unique in sev- eral ways, one of which was that it was met by no protest on the part of taxpayers, and that a considerable body of opinion favored another in- crease to provide tadditional revenuer Vote of Thanks In moving a vote of thanks to Mr, Henry, George W. Mclawghin hun orously declared that this statement of Mr. Henry's might well be taken as a ""feeler" thrown out to test the tem= perature of public opinion as to such an increase in gasoline tax, "We know, Mr. Minister, that we et our money back in the form ot etter roads," Mr. McLaughlin stated, "but we poor tarmers would rather hold on to it a littiec longer. ides, look at that surpius which you" have obtained through the gasoline tax im- posed this year, notwithstanding the loss of revenue from reduced fees."

Accidents to Driver "In future, accidents on the high- ways will not be considered as acci- dents to cars, but as accidents to the driver who must stand upon his own responsibility in the matter, whether serious, fatal or otherwise. : The problem of the "cut in" driver was stated in new terms by Hon. Mr, Henry. ¢ "My old friend, the medical officer of health, of Toronto, helped me to revise my previous definition of safe cutting m," he declared. "This is that to cut in safely, one must pass a cai ahead to the left in sufficient time to get back into line, and with sufficient | space availabie not to interfere wjth the driver of the car passed, before passing a car coming in the opposite direction." Cutting in that does not meet these conditions was declared a fruitful source of highway accidents, probably the most fruitiul, yet at the same time the most difficult to check. "It is all a matter of judgment except in flag- "rant cases," he pointed out, "and nt {would be difficult to enforce a law a- gainst 'cut in' driving without working a 'hardship upon those who have oc- casion to pass a siower car and with safety." That the department is making con- siderable headway m doing away with the menace of glaring headlights and the one-lamp driver was declared. The week-end accident near Barrie was an {unhappy illustration of highway ofh- cers' cincient zeal. They stopped a [truck to check the driver about his lights when a motorcycle crashed in- to it. Notable progress has been made in oo eliminating one light drivers, but in this connection Hon. Mr, Henry made should be equipped with but one headlight only, "Some of you may disagree with = ime," he said, "but I am of the opin- ion that the right hand lamp should Bll he the headlight, as that 1s the one 'Henry NEW FALL HATS $2.98, $3.98 and $4.98 The buyers for the 14 Dorothea Hat Stor es have just returned from Montreal where they bought out the complete stocks of 3 manufacturers who needed cash at big savings, just at the beginning of the season, hats and Oshawa's share of these bargains goes on sale today All together we bought over 4,000 tomorrow in three price groups.

The leit hand lamp should Ibe dim, and used merely to indicate the position of the car," Every consideration has been shown by the Department of Highways in issuing permits to ex-soldiers, Mr. declared, particularly those with physical handicaps growing oul of their war service. "In the major accidents recorded," he stated, "it 1s almost entirely found to be the fault of men who were mn full possession of all their physical facultics, not these brave men who in the late war sacrihced an arm or leg in the Dopumons service. They, 1 find, know the need of extra caution im anving, and how to give considera- von to others using the mghway. Solve Problem [raffic Conurol leclanng tna! as the Hignway be- partment had met and svived is pro- pies of hnance and construction, a wouid also ue able to suive the pres- sing problem of trathc control, mon Mr. nenry stated that whie he wa noc anticipate any return of the 2» {mie speed mit, and that the counter propositson ot establishing a nummum { speed limit on the highway woulda !hkewise not meet with favor, "I remember heanng Sir James Witney say," he pomted out, "ana that was that the pedestrian amays has the night of way because he was here nist. "We will always have citizens who Sl' do not care to Arve taster than 15 or 4 mules an hour. They have a per- fect right on the highway until such tune special ghways are provided for them or for the ogners who object to them most." The initial part of Mr. Henry's ad- 3' dress dealt with statistic information. He pointed out that the Highway De- partment of Ontario covers only the $7 'orgamized counties, roads in north Ontario be built and financed by the numistry responsible for the develop- i= 'ment of Ontario s great hinterland. { Ontario today sas 2,400 miles of ro- 8 vincial highways, not counting northern | Ontario. Of that total, 204 miles are High and elsewhere. have the penetration surface macadam as from Gananoque eastward. 430 miles are of water macadam, a total of 1,500 miles of paved road in all, the remaining 90 being of gravel type. Over 250 miles of paved highway have been constructed this year, aud the rate of building maintained for the past seven years since the provincial " program really began, Mr. Heary stat- ed, has been over 200 miles a year. R., H. Greer, K.C., of Toronto, made an offer to clear all expenses in connection with the trial rather than have a conviction registered against his client, The amount in- volved was $25 secured from P, H. Beattie, local druggist. Col.
