Inspector Darby pointed out that the policy of the Department of Highways was to keep traffic moving since this was the easiest way to control it. He stated that the Burlington canal bridge should be open within a month, and that this will relieve the situation by 30 to 40 per cent. Deputy Reeve Tyrrell said that he had been concerned with the traffic problem for years, both as a member of the School Board and as a member of the Township Council, and he felt that the department was loathe to have anything interfere with the flow of traffic. Underpasses were the only solution that the department would consider. Chief of Police Fred Gaylord stated that it is impossible to get men to act as school traffic officers under the present conditions. He said, "I do not know how the school traffic officers avoid being killed." One ex-policeman who had directed traffic in Hamilton for years stated that he would not take the job out here for $15 a day, after watching traffic go past Maplehurst School. Mr. Tyrrell suggested that anyone who thinks the problem was being over-emphasized should volunteer their services as a traffic officer for one day. It was agreed to ask the department to finance underpasses for the schools and that the township would supply traffic officers to police them adequately. The meeting asked Mr. Connell to present its problems and suggestions to the Minister of Highways, and if no satisfaction was forthcoming, then a delegation representing all the groups concerned would accompany him on a further visit.
