Our n y have not had good service and the C. R. authorities maintain that we do not give them sufficient ti er a 5 Such a state of affairs cannot continue indefinitely. Both of us should improve matters. At present we (the public), and they §| (the C.N.R.) are jockeying for position in the race t : { the other fellow jockeying on he % Feave that Nat happy conclusion in a race of the kind. The question really is--"What are we going to do about it to improve conditions ? It is suggested that the Whitby-Lindsay branch of the C. N. R. be used more extensively as a short freight route between the North country (Haliburton District) Oshawa, and other points along the front. To accomplish this with advantage better power would need to be supplied, and better facilities installed to turn at Manilla by means of a larger turntable or a Y. If these improvements are not made, a natural result will be that in the course of time the present engines will cease to operate because they must be superannuated; and the larger engine will not be able to operate upon the present turntable at Manilla. : The unfortunate part of this outlook is that it is quite pos- sible that we may wake up to find ourselves without freigh{ con- veniences. It is all very well to talk of trucking, but to trans- port coal and other similar heavy freight would be extremely in- convenient to us. It is perhaps presumptuous to even sug- gest ta the C.N.R. how the road may be made more profitable; but the possibility of losing the road (which has cost our people so much) gives courage to suggest plans for improvement that may be mutually beneficial, and perhaps help to maintain a service which we need and which Sir Henry Thornton says should be given to such communities as ours, even at a loss to the C.N.R. A point where the present system fails in in the time table of the passenger trains, (particularly the morning train.) At present far too much time is consumed in the journey to To- ronto and return, and far too little timé has been allowed to trans- act business in the city. SOME SUGGESTIONS we shall not arrive at any What follows here should receive the consideration of our} people. There is no need to jump at hasty conclusions. The sug- gestions are just that--no more. They will'involve an investment the part of the C.N.R. and some sacrifice on our part. But if we are to retain railway service and improve conditions both these things will have to be done. \ The first suggestion is te retain the train that is known here as the "noon train." It would leave Haliburton at 6 a.m. and ar- rive here at about 11.30--making the same connections with the}. train on the main line at Whitby and returning as now at about 4.30. . : € The second suggestion is to put on a Diesel-electric car leav- ing Lindsay at 6 a.m., Port Perry at 7 a.m. and arriving at Whitby at 8 a.m,, going through to Toronto to arrive at 9 .m. This trip could be speeded up if necessary. It would fit in admirably with present conditions on the main line, as there is now no service from 6.26 a.m. to 9.14 a.m. going west. The return trip could be scheduled to fill another gap in the Port Perry about 7 p.m. During that period there is no main line service going east from about 4.30 to 8.30 p.m. The third suggestion is that a Sunday service be given by the Diesel-electric car, and that week end visitors be encouraged. They could return home on Monday morning and arrive in Toronto about 9 a.m, This movement would need advertising and would be a dis- tinct bid for traffic among those people who would gladly spend a day or two in the country. The steam train from Haliburton to Whitby and return would mean considerable saving over the present steam line train ser- vice. The improved passenger service given by a through train of the Diezel-electric type run over this branch and on the main line would, we believe, provide for the cost of the extra equipment and before long give a good profit. The public has learned to travel. They appreciate rapid transit at low cost and will patronize the service that meets their needs. MAIL SERVICE The fly in the ointment is as to the mail service we can re- tain. The outlook now is a noon mail only-- (except rural routes) with a return mail to Toronto at 4.30. It delays the arrival of morning papers and shortens the time fo rreplying to business letters but replies sent on the 4.30 train would arrive in Toronto for the first morning delivery there. Of course this mail service might be improved. In fact there is a rumor now that a truck has been engaged to bring the mail from Whitby to Port Perry, in case the present train service is cut off. The big city dailies would also likely look after their own interests in this matter. OUR PART Having said all this as to improvement of the service, we must admit that we are under obligation to the C.N.R. to make good service worth while. ~ Without doubt there are advantages in'travelling by rail that cannot be secured when travelling by bus. Owing to inereasing auto traffic on the Provincial hway and in the city and in view of the difficulty of finding parking space in Toronto, it is quite possible that it would be cheaper and more We should use the service offered whenever we can, both as passengers, and in bringing in freight and express.

The Speed Limit By-Law Our Council has passed a by-law limiting the speed within the corporation to twenty miles an hour. That by-law was not de- signed to be a money-making grab. It is in accordance with the by-laws of nearly all urban and semi-urban municipalities. The enforcement of the by-law is necessary for the safety of the people. There is no need to quibble about the exact number of miles set by the by-law. The facts are these: At twenty miles an hour anyone can drive from the top of the hill to the four corners in about two minutes or less. Isn't that fast enough? What's all the rush? This ig a nice looking town, and it would do some hurried people good to spend at least one minute getting over the rush, and enjoying the scenery. Another fact is this. When a man is travelling thirty, forty, or fifty miles an hour, that motorist cannot properly control his machine in case of emergencies. This is especially true where an autoist has the itch to get ahead of the fellow in front of him. There are men and women who constantly use their horns to warn the preceding traffic that they are on the road, and that they Prompt payment of subscriptions so. Ho agree with this theory.
