intersection the dept of highways which is ttie governing body on highway installations ruled that the accident ratio at the corner did not justify tights with at least three accidents at the corner in recent weeks and others occurring in the in terval perhaps it is time the situation was re viewed to our mind georg separated by the highway into two sections with john and water streets connecting the two has definite need of adequate traffic control at this main corner which work for a safety oouneik funnels traffic from the industrial and downtown districts into a bottleneck it is particularly bad at rush hours and on many occasions cars are backed up to the post office on one side and to the arena on the other waiting to make a dash across the highway add to this extensive left turns from highway traffic onto water st and you have a situation which needs correcting while property damage has been consider able in accidents at the corner luckily no ser ious injuries have occurred someday there will be a fatality and before this occurs it would be wise to take action safety is becoming an increasingly common word in town with pokce school and industrial officials stressing this it is so d to deal with a topic in the abstract and we wonder if a safety coun cil could be of public assistance by forming a branch to suggesfconcrete improvements in town and district

did caution on spending is urged by finance minister n the road rr there for a few days before it comes to the attention of the proper authorities other traffic impediments may be on private property one that comes to mind is the eastern approach to the cnr tracks on john st where a large bank obscures the view of northbound trains a safety council could have a spotting committee which would note plaowwhere safe ty could be approved and bring it to the atten tion of the proper authorities a highway traffic light as mentioned above could well be within its scope as could amber rights to mark irr sections as suggested by a town councillor at a meeting last week ture of private and publicly owned lend on which some conservative public expenditures have been made will cost an estimated 50000 by the time it is put in al shape shared by sothe fifty down town businessmen the cost would average 1000 per business if merchanrts are prepared to pay their fair share and there would 1favgtobe so a
