The connecting links on the County Good Roads system were given a good coating of oil last week and the dust is now effectually laid on that portion of roadway. A pelting rain shortly after the sticky stufl‘ was put on started to oil up the whole town, but fortunately did no damage other than causing considerable in- convenience. Garafraxa Street, too, from the Saugeen bridge to the Ford Garage also got a little, which has improved conditions considerably. AUTOIST‘S HAD NARROW ESCAPE AT CROSSING SOUTH OF VARN'EY Messrs. J. Levine and George Mcâ€" Kechnie of this place had a narrow escape from death on Tuesday when an_auto in which they were driving was struck by‘a double-header G.T. R. freight train at the Morrison crossing south of Varney. Mr. Le- vine, the driver of the car, escaped with a severe shaking up, and Mr. McKechnie suffered a broken arm. t While the only casualties to the occupants are a broken arm and a 1 bad shaking up, the car did not come i off so easily. Briefly, one of the rear wheels is smashed, and the body 15 a complete wreck, besides Whatever damage has been done to the frame and working parts; It waspn accl- dent in Wthh almost anything might ~xhave happened, but fortunately did hiot. ' A .-.The car, a big Oldsmobile, was be- ing driven toward Durham, after a business trip to the country, and was coming West on the Barber sideroad when the accident happened. Mr. Levine did not hear the train, and at this crossing it is impossible to see it until right on to the track. He was driving slowly, down the hill to the track, otherwise, in this particu- lar__instance, hewouldhave escaped: The train. a double header, loaded mlh crushed stone from the Jno. E. Russell Company’s plant here, was not making over eight to ten miles all hour up the heavy grade, other- wxse, the car would have been iqiasliied to bits and the occupants '1 cc. So far as we can learn, the auto was almost across the track, when the pilot of the engine struck it at about opposite the hind wheel, carâ€" ried the rear end around, the front endswmging round and coming 111 0011151011 with the side of the engine. As Mr. McKechnie was on this side, this probably explains the reason for his broken arm. The tram was brought to a stOp within a very few feet, the car run off the trahk, the occupants looked after, when the fI'elght proceeded to Holstein. Here the passenger crew were notified and they stepped and took them into Durham. ‘ In good condition, with 1922 cense. Apply, King, Countess St. Chevrolet‘s” For Sale.

J31! 1- STREET PAVING PROGRAM . 18 nor POPULAR '1 A couple of weeks ago a meeting of p the citizens was called to discuss the question of a pavement for Gara-3 fraxa Street from .the foot of the Durham hill to the Ford Garage. The meeting was not very Well attended, but the matter was pretty well dis- cussed by those present. With one or two exceptions, the gathering 'was not in favor of a twenty-foot strip down the middle of the road, claim- ing that if we were to do any paving at all it should be the full width. An objection was. raised to this scheme, too, on the ground that we should take the matter of sewers and water servicesin hand and finish the whole job at one operation. There was quite a lot of oratory expended, pro and con, but the meeting broke. up, {With the appointment of a citizens" icommittee, to work with the Council in an effort to arrive at the best pro- position from the town’s point of view. This committee was compos- ed of Messrs. J. A. Rowland, A. A. Catton, H. J. Snell, C. A. Robbins and Ed. Kress. This committee met on the 12th inst. and passed the follow- ing resolution: “It is agreed by this Committee that rather than proceed with pav- ing at the present time, that a com- prehensive plan for all future un- derground systems be prepared and those portions of such systems be constructed prior to the laying of hard surface pavement. “It is also recommended that the laying of proper storm sewers on main street he proceeded with this seaSOn, as this Committee is of the ouinion that with a proper system of drainage, our main street would be quite satisfactory until such time as traffic and finances of the town warrant proceeding with the conâ€" struction of a hard surface pave- ment. ' “It is further recommended that sufficient oil be purchased to treat main street and any other street on which the residents make applica- tion for oiling, the cost to be based on 50 per cent. against the residents on a frontage basis, the remaining 50 per cent. from the general funds of the town. It is recommended that immediate action be taken to allay the dust nuisance, if not by oil, by water.” - From the general talk heard amongl front street residents, and others asI well, The Chronicle believes that the‘ ratepayers are not in sympathy with; pavingfl‘at least at the‘present. In a' town of 1,500, in a good gravel coun- try like this, it is our humble opin- ion thatwith preper drainage (the proper storm sewers at each 'side of the road), our streets would keep in good condition. The twenty-foot strip of pavement in the centre of the street would not at all answer the purpose being asked by the bus- iness men and others: The awful dust in summer, and the mud-holes on the ‘sides of the streets in spring and fall, are the nuisances at pres-' ent, and a twenty-foot strip down the middle of the street would not remove this. Again, it has been ar- gued that it will cost a couple of hundred dollars a year to oil our ifront street. What of it? The build- ing of a pavement, even of full width will not cut down the annual ex- pense. It will cost money to sweep and flush this, possibly just as much as it will to put on an annual coat of oil. Properly drained and oiled, we think the rest of the road will look after itself with a minimum amount of care. - In the opinion of The Chronicle, what this town needs most just now is a good waterworks system, one that will serve both upper and lower town. Another thing we think the town should have is a team of horses that can be used all summer at odd jobs such as making small repairs to .the road in operating the road drag, and filling with gravel all the small holes that occur in the road- way. Paved streets in a town of 1,500 seems to us like a mighty ex- pensive prOposition, eSpecially when there are other things of more im- portance that we [need a whole lot worse.
