With the going into operation of trai- fic lights on Tuesday at the Pine St. intersection of Third and Fourth ave- nues. Timmins has made the first step towards a system of modern traffic control. While lights will be installed at only two intersections this year. it is regarded as likely that other busy corners will be included in a program of extension next year. To many motorists. unfamiliar with their operation. traffic lights may be confusing for a short time. Traffic proceeds on a green light and and stops on a red. In between the period when the light turns from green to red an amber light in the centre of the in- stallation flashes on for a few seconds. With the occurrence of the amber light. traffic in that direction is required to stop. Adequate penalties are provided for the type of driver who trim to "beat the light." Motorists should care- fully bear in mind ,however, that if the amber light flashes when they have already started across the intersection they should complete the crossing, rather than stopping part way or in the middle of the intersection. Left Turns Prohibited on New Traffic Lights Inspector Art Olson. who has made a close personal observation since the traffic lights were put into operation. announced today that it has been de- cided not to allow left-hand turns at the two corners. “While the public have been giving us every co-operation. it wctuld appear that the principal danger occurs when motorists attempt to make a left-hand turn,” said the police inspector. Warning signs will be erected under the lights at all four corners of the two intersections warn- ing traffic that the left-hand turns are prohibited. Regulation to be Enforced inwlntâ€"erest of Public Safety, Police Inspector Olson Announces.‘ Motorists Asked to It ls further pointed out that, while cars may Lurn right on a red light. the vehlcle must, first come to a complete stop and make sure that vehicular and pedestrian traffic is clear. In a summary of traffic laws and regulations issued by the Ontario De- partment of Highway. brief but ex- planatory instructions with regard.to traffic lights read as follows:-â€"Red means stop; amber in combination with green means stop; green means go. The amber is shown to give drivers, ap- proaching with the green light, warn- ing and time to stop. Also it is in- tended to give persons who are in the intersection time to reach safety.

A new 20-inch water main has been added to the town waterworks sys- tem without a moment‘s interruption of service. the work being completed this week without a hitch. Usually it is necessary in such cases to internupt the service while the required new valves are installed, but this was com- pletely avoided in the recent addition of the new water main. For some years past the Hollinger has been looking af- ter the town waterworks system, sup- plying water at actual costâ€"a decided benefit to the town and responsible for reduced water rates here. On the Hollinger also devolved the responsib- ility of installing the necessary new water main with as little interruption as possible to the service. The instal» lation was accomplished without a minute’s interruption of service. The story is an interesting one. Hollinger Completes Work Without Slightest Interrup- tion of Town Water Service.

South Porcupine, was commenc- ed this morning at the session of the supneme court for Niplssing here. The crown case was conclugled last eve- ning. Fabbro is defended by M. G. Gould, of McDonald and Gould. North Bay. while W. C. Inch. K.C.. Haileybury. is acting for West. W. B. Common, K.C.. of the attorney general's department, is the prosecuting counsel. Mr. Jus- tice MacKay is presiding. A surprise witness was 'introduced‘ last evening when the crown called Ot- to Sinclair, former Timmins taxi driv- er. He told of having driven Fabbro and West to a point on a side road leading off Spring road. near South Porcupine at daybreak June 8, the morning of the robbery. He said he left them there and returned to Tim- mins. Sinclair identified a photograph in- dicating a cross roads on the Spring Road as the point where he turned af- ter delivering his faxes. Evidence of Provincial Constable Stringer and In- spector F. B. Creasy showed that auto- mobile tracks were found leading from the same side road into the bush to a point where the grass was trampled. indicating that something heavy, pre- sumably the bags of precipitate had been cached at that point. The police officers explained that because of the grassy nature of the ground the car driven there had skidded, making it impossible to find tread marks. The officers also said they investigated the road after finding a rough diagram drawn on a medical certificate found in Fabbro’s home after his arrest. as the mineral taken from the mine refinery. Alphonse Labrecque, Timmins testi- fied that he had seen West on the Spring Road July 2. He (West) was wearing a bathing suit, Labrecque said, and he assumed that he was a boxer doing a training run.
