Leishman & Sutherland, Publisher: THURSDAY, MAY 20th, 1937 NATURAL BEAUTY MARRED| We have seen many examples of the useless destruction of na- tural beauty in this district, but the most glaring one came to our notice on a recent Sunday after- noon stroll through part of the! country adjacent to Haileybury. | Many local people know the road which runs south on the first con-| cession line west of the town,| from the West Road to North Cobalt, where a few years ago : : : | the entire right-of-way was cut out and a nice row of the best of the trees left standing on either| side of the highway. These trees | were making a fast growth after the underbrush was removed and would, in a comparatively short time, have given this road an at-| tractive appearance and made it a favorite haunt for walkers. There are few people who live along the thoroughfare and few motor cars are driven there. leav- ing it one of the all too few roads in the neighborhood where a per- son can enjoy a quiet stroll. | Now it seems that this road is| to lose its beauty, if not its use-| miles per hour outside of cities and towns and village, and 3G miles per hour inside such cen- tres. It is still an offence and will be considered reckless driv- ing, however, to operate at any speed without due regard for traffic, highway or light condi- tions, and severe penalties will be imposed. The old slogan of "Care and Courtesy" is to be ob- served, and any infractions of the new regulations will bring se vere penalties. The season of accidents is now upon us. Right in our own dist- rict there have been crashes that have brought serious injuries and that should prove a_ lesson to every driver. The new speed limit will, we fear, have a ten- dency to bring increased reck- lessness on the part of some, and the public in general will be the sufferers. All that can be said or written will not impress on the few the danger of excessive speed, but a few severe sentences imposed on the offenders would do something towards making the highway safer for those who try to keep within the law and try to use care at all times. For several years a traffic offi- cer with a motorcycle was sta- tioned in Haileybury and patrol- led the roads of this district. He was able to cover considerable territory and his presence had an effect on the habits of the more reckless drivers. If this system could again be instituted, even for a few months, it would, we believe, lessen the accidents and make the highways safer fot those who are content with a reasonable speed. There should at least be a traffic officer on every well travelled highway for WES Se Haileybury in 1927 | } ie 4 F Items from the Files of The 4 Haileyburian of Ten 4 P Years Ago 4 Bc eae aa oe ca mc ~-- A section man on the Nipissing Central Railway had his collar- bone broken when he stood too close to a passing car at the cor- ner of Blackwall Street and Fer- guson Avenue.

It is pointed out that the maximum speed at which any motor vehicle may be operated, "under the most ideal conditions," is 50 NO HIGHER A QUIET, WELL CONDUCTED, CONVENIENT, MODERN 100 ROOM HOTEL--85 WITH BATH WRITE FOR FOLDER TAKE A DE LUXE TAXI FROM DEPOT OR WHARF--25c¢ which motor vehicles the 24th of May. or light conditions. result in prosecution privilege of driving. MOTOR WARNING TO MOTORISTS At the last session of the Legislature the law respecting the speed of motor vehicles was amended. The effect of this amendment is to increase the maximum permissible speed at amendment in question becomes effective on Motorists are warned that the new speed limits are the positive maximum speeds at which motor vehicles may be operated under the most ideal conditions. While the maximum speeds are to be 30 miles per hour in cities, towns and villages and 50 miles per hour out- side, speeds much below these are necessary under many conditions. It is still an offence and considered reckless driving, for which severe penalties are provided, to operate at any speed without due regard for traffic, highway Motorists are urged to exercise the great- est of care and courtesy and are warned that a wilful disregard for the safety of themselves or other users of the streets and highways will DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS may be operated.
