mittee proposed that the south half of the brock road be recon structed at a meeting of on tario county council at whitby last week the committee recom mended that petitioners for speed reduction on road no 1 be informed that the county has no authority in such a matter a petition requesting reduc tion in speed limits on road 1 between kh 2 and brougham has been considered by the com mittee the subject of speed con trol has been considered on many previous occasions but un der present legislation there is not a solution which would be satisfactory to the petitioners speed limits on rural county roads can be reduced in general only if development along the road qualifies for a a built up area fifty percent of the frontage for 600 feet on one side or 300 feet on both sides must be occupied by buildings if such a concentra tion of development exists a 30 mph limit can be posted b an urban area to qualify as an urban area build ings must be located at inter vals of less than 100 feet for one quarter of a mile a 40 mph limit can be established in an urban area the present 20 foot pavement with very narrow shoulders is a factor which contributes to ac cidents on road 1 because of this and other factors our pro posed budget for 1962 provides for a reconstruction contract on the south half of the brock road when reconstructed there will lie a wider pavement 24 ft with safe shoulders 12 ft on cither side the brock road does not qual ify for speed reduction under the highway traffic act we therefore recommend as fol lows a that the petitioners bead- vised of the county plans for improvement b that since the whole sub ject of speed regulation is a re sponsibility of the provincial de partment of transport the peti tioners be advised that the county does not have authoriza tion or jurisdiction to establish limits other than those outlined in the highway traffic act emo budget okayed on a close vote by a close vote of 2019 on- arid county council has given its

charged that there would al ways be the individual who would not take the necessary precautions he noted that whilo the guilty party should be prose cuted to the fullest extent of the law he did not feel it would be right to prosecute the inno cent also reeve cecil fralick of scu gog charged that a hike in tho license fee would not get rid of the careless hunter he charged that the payment could
