NEW LAKESHORE ROUTE Oshawa, Whitby and Whit by Township Rep- resented Bearboro', April 20--Tepresen~ tatives from the municipalities im. mediately east of Toronto met in conference today at the Municipal Chambers at Birch CIN, and took first step in a combined move to arrive at some solution for the problem of congestion on the King: ston Road, Mayor KH, Bowman of Whithy, who was in the chalr, outlined briefly the events leading up to to- day's meeting and invited those at tending to give some indleation of the attitude of the various muniel palitien, ¥, H, Annis of Whitby advocated a new lakeshore boulevard between Toronto and Oshawg which would serve as the first link of what would some day be extended eastward, connecting Toronto and Montrea) along a scenie route, and serve as 6 major attraction for United Star tes tourists, Menace to Safety Present conditions on the King. ston Road, Ne declared, were fast becoming a menace to safety, and it was becoming known to motorists as "Suloide Alley," with its 20-font pavement, The construction of such & highway would be, he de- clared, the best method of combats ting the shore erosion east of Tor onto, Mayor Mitohell of Oshawa stated that his municipelity had given the matter consideration some time ago, hut expressed grave doubt as to whether a lakeshore highway would be the best solution of the present difficulties, and sald that for that reason Oshawa wonld take & somewhat reserved attitude, Commissioner R, C, Harris of Toronto, who explained that he was present without intructions, points ed out the economic difjoulties which confronted such a scheme, The danger to such a highway from exposure fram the lake would he even greater than that encountered west of Toronto, and the diffigul- ties from an economic standpoint appeared almost unsurmountable, in his opinion, Hpeaking unofiglal ly, he thought Toronto would not be favorable to the undertaking, "1 have no sympathy with the idea of speed highways," declared Mr, Harris, who advised caution in the matter, Development Foreseen Deputy Reeve John Linden of Soarboro' was wholeheartedly for the proposition, which, ha claimed, would open up tremendous activity and development In the eastern suburbs, Deputy Reeve Frank L., Barchard suggested the widening of Kingston Road with a diversion southward near Rouge Hills, "The Provincial Department of Highways should take the Initlas tive,' sald Alderman Geoge Hart, of Oshawa, "In fact," he added, "they may already have some plans under consideration, that we are unaware of" His remarks found considerable support, and eventual ly he moved that the whole matter be taken up by the affected muni« olpalities and that a conference with Hon, George RB, Henry, Minis ter of Highways be sought, at whieh the Minister would be invited te state the Department's plans for meeting the problem of congestion on Highway No, 8, The motion wan carried unanimously, Among those present were
