visibility la almost nil Mr Michie said there were to trucks an hour using the route besides the usual traffic Flying dust gravel and mud reduce the visibility to such a degree that pedestrians are nearly Impossible to spot The brief also complained of ihe high density of beginning at a m through to SO and the emission of from the trucks The brief said that under present con ditions the value of

obvious police matters to the O Be stressed the need of protecting collecting points for children boarding buses noting that all roads In the township were classed as B roads except the truck route factor The reeve told the delegation they bad to stop allowing tracks to rase the route through because of the con dition of the bridge over the railway tracks la So an alternate route had to be become heavier if other quarries were closed as threatened by the Minister of Mines He foresaw more using the quarry Asked By the reeve where building materials would come from If quarries did not operate he suggested the escarpment should be kept in and mining places In the north where better aggregate was available Contributes to accidents He also said the condition of the road had contributed to three property damage accidents where were complete writeoffs one headon collision and 14 cars leaving the road to the ditch We are also the added target of every car rally Toronto and Hamilton he told council Road superintendent Bud Snow said more had been allocated for the truck route this year and Quarries hod donated two or three thousand tons of gravel which Armstrong Bros hauled free of charge to build up the road The delegation was eased They saw most of the accruing to truckers and the quarries After further discussion of the problem the deputyreeve suggested council
