Thi is not a personal question. ‘This is no for the benefit of a few, but for th town in general. This requested con necting link between Wilson Avenu and the new highway bridge is "Expan sion" and "Progress" and the blockin of the construction of this vital piec of road is only a unreasonable selfis] hindrance of "Progress" by a few, wh cams to this town after the town wa built, and without whom the Town 0 Tinunins existed before and could ver well manage to exist hereafter. asked â€" law, and thi in Cochrane tles on the as Mottaga:s accident oc through the town would Do our nobi called advis their hands Wake un. Dear Mr. Mayor: While we are treâ€" mendously sympathetic with the hardâ€" ship which has been brought on the gentlemen interested in regard to their loss business resulting from the diâ€" versicn of traffic over the new bridge one must not lost signt of the fact that this iqa a sign of progress, and that thae change in the physical approach to Tim_ mins imust consider the man, rather than they few. The expense of even a makeâ€"shift is considerable, and the cost of an adeâ€" quate road would probably be in the neighbourhood of $15,000.00 which, in a few years from now would be utterly useless because time would prove that traffic would not divert itself to the stores of the three citizens. The expenditure of this amount of money at a time when manâ€"power and materials are so sorely needed for our war effort is, we believe, very questionâ€" able. If the City feels a responsibiâ€" lity to maintain the economic status of citizens who have suffered through the progress of the town‘s evolution, then I think it would be much more satisfactory, and certainly much less expensive, to suggest that you would move the business of these citizens on to the new highway. May we counsel that, quite apart from the depletion of value of the proâ€" perties affected by this new road, which we believe would be much greater than the loss to the individuals under disâ€" cussion. that this whole undertaking is of questionable value even,in peace time, and extremely undesirable at preâ€" sent time. y@t eiect a: they represe Timmins, Ont., Oct, 28th, 1942 Dear Mr,. Editor: I think it is time for the citizens of Tiramins to know more about the abitation for a connectâ€" Ing link bet‘veen Wilson Avenue and Hollinger Avenue on that portion of land shown on the plans as Mattagami Boulevarad, and which was formerly known as Céillies Street North Laugh, fellow townsman, laugh over the great "joke" for here is a copy of the "objection in the name of progress and beautification of the town" made by partly property owners and partly not 5o called propertyâ€"owners. If I an. right seven, or do I see an extra name? Who is he? Against the petition or one hundred and five of the westâ€"end Timmins property owners to your Town Council for a connection link between the new Highway Bridge and Wilson Avenue. september the Fourtecenth, 1942 Mayor J. E. Brunette Timmins, Ontario. (Signed ) Even though you were trying to reâ€" store the economic prestige of these citiâ€" zens. I think you will admit that traffic will not divert itself through two right angles on to a small highway from a major highway, to trade at two stores who have less to offer than those in the main part of the town. Furthermore, the construction of a road there would demand a retaining wall before sufficient width of road could be built which would be permaâ€" nent. The drainage from the river bank unless this were adequately supâ€" ported would result in a road, even though it were present, nobody would travel on if it were possible to avoid :t.
