At that time we gloomily predicted that _ it would take mother death to Ipur thes. hibernating bureau- crats out of their complacent and comfortable apathy to some non ot action. . Over the pan 20 years. railway crossings have ac- counted tor nine percent of the deaths on our highways. Certain creating: have been singled out n inajor offend- era in this respect but in almost all cases by the time the subject of crossing gates has paused through the hands of the municipal council, the provincial or federal government, the board of transport commissioners, the railway companies and an office boy on the 27th floor, more lives have been forfeited. " ft too much to ask that one of thetse authorities in this tune of offieU1dom take the initiative Ind imple- ment a Iyltcm whereby a tomponry net of gun (as requested for Lawrence Avenue) for I crossing that has been proven I death trap (like Lawrence Avenue) can be installed within 18-month; of tho approval (unlike Lawrence Avenue). It in now debatable whether this TEMPORARY net of gates, designed to protect motorists until the aub- wey is constructed, will be installed before work in start- ed on the aubway. Thin caricature of civil eervice inef- ficiency would. be laughable if it were not w tragic. To,tre fair to the railways it muet be admitted that brthe time official sanction for the gates had been re- ceived, the original urgency in which the whole men had been conceived wee little more than a - me- mory. However. the railways [ave euch half-hearted and intermittent attention to the inltallation of the get" it even become a morbid Iort of joke around Weeton.
