alls the strip are not to keen the water in but most to muffle the sound As far the issue of tlon goes it seems terribly strange that suddenly a residents are all uptight about a little rubber burning when for years one of the large factories In the area dump all their slag garbage and waste products practically on their doorsleps Traffic congestion is ai i lo problem however the A lane No and the

Park School pupils That petition directed lo this council and its members and is enclosed with this slop at Park and Princess Anne While this type of may not be as desirable as a crossing guard It will at least provide some protection which di now therefore aa concerned parents and as an Association urge you to recognize our provide the our children need to obtain a clear and safe access to Park School Whether that protect ion lakes the form of a cross ing guard or a four way atop we must of course leave your decision but some prole r must be provided an very truly It Could Be Sued Owner Threatens New HRCA Court Fight The Hilton Falls Revere project near n petitions Says Councillor Misinformed Crossing Guard Recommended The Georgetown Herald Main South Georgetown Out I read with some interest your report of Hyde a reaction lo a letter I had writ tan to Council recently It does of course bear res ponse if for no other reason than to correct Mr Hyde a information I read the report thai Mr Hjdc alludes to and I refer him specifically to Page Par I of that report If he has not already read the re port he might find it of some interest to note that the was made to piemen crossing guards at the intersection in question not in fact as he alleges the report indicates to recommend againsl the implementation of a crossing guard The port docs however militate that traffic volumes at those inter lections arc not as high areas which would warrant crossing guards The implementlimn of the three stop sign and Church undoubted has hail the effect of slowing raf fie but be n of people was provide an act cm route the which was both direct and pr liar le and is not a route and therefore the sign hi no effect upon the problem as it exists I cannot claim credit for the words blithering idiots those words are Mr Hyde a own and not wanting to precipitate an unwarranted discourse on the subject 1 will that I do not take issue with ha i hoi of phrasing I ii it w in September that I first wrote to 1 requesting a four top sign at Pick and Juries and only Councils refusal accept that sol and following the report and recommendations previous mentioned did the of a nosing at tint intersection and at Anne and Charles more desirable My only aim and Assoc iation aim hat always he en to pro a direct route lo Park Sin Whrther the ultimate volution or a crossing guard wll rest with council It must of necessity be either one of those solutions The solution Is how vex not from the lip or harbouring an at tht he very people that r upon good judgment to reflect and rcat of the serve and is not to some self gain or base of power to tool There is no substitute for government and in elected representative indulge in cronyism and fcatherbcdding deserve the ill timate contempt that

Georgetown chnols there Is at least one route cither sign or crossing guard or lights by which students approach the Park dents however have no such protection and your of a traffic sign Church and Chirles while it does break a traffic flow pat tern is of no effect with res to providing a direct cess route for to Park school You may recall that when writer initially correspond with jou in September the reqicst was made tour way stop sign at Park and Charles as one obvious to the problem in discussion with certain members of jour council suggestion was made that cess Anne and was an equally dangerous intersection and with that the writer ires Following the ate and fatal accident which al and Charles a irport and recommendations on traffic protection for children was submitted to comci and In that report the use of crossing guards was re commended for councils deration While the writer docs not presume to be an expert on traffic control the use of crossing guards would be a most desirable protection give students The cost Of crossing guard to an individu al would we estimate be per month Approximately parents of Park school students are willing to assume that lax We all however real that we must consider the general expenditures of the town and if that proves to he ich an onerous lax burden Ihcr to the town or individual then it would seem that other protection for
