been a noticeable de crease in speeding in recent months in the town limits according to police chief roy haley a crackdown on speeders inaugur ated with a new speed timing device purchased by the town in august is largely responsible for the increase in public safety which has been a matter of public concern at many times in the past since a new policy of issuing idm- mons was inaugurated some 200 peo ple have parted with the appropriate amount of cash for their infractions of the bylaw mr haley said that the check on needing is not in the nature of per ecu t ion and while municipal cof fers benefit from the fines it la not designed as a revenue producer it is to make atreeta safe for pedeatriana and drivers and in future months a close eye will be kept by the police as an important

including a aodium vapour light cr cray and his committee will tnslte a complete investigation on what is available to alleviate the situ ation mr swales slso strongly expressed his belief that once a bylaw ia passed it should be enforced to the letter he referred particularly to the build ing by law which itatrs that a house should be a definite number of feet from the side of the property he felt that infractions of tbis by lsw should be stopped in some manner stating that judging from the cases council has had to deal with the hou ses had already been built before the building infractiona were reported under the niia sperifirstions thtlr houses should be inspected before the subflooring is installed cr walter gray aaid he wfg of the opinion that the time to stop building by lsw

administering town affairs it must give and take a little he personally felt that the building bylaw infractions were unln- tentionsl mtitskes on the contrscton parts because they were almost uith-
