This incident shows that. the law holds a municipality strictly re- anfonSth‘ for the condition of its streets. and. while it may or may not recover from the contractor, must pay for any damages or injur- ies sustained while driving over them. Mnnicipaliteis would be well advised to give more attention to these matters than they have. been in the habit of doing in the past, or they may he called upon to pay clearly for their negligence. Section 18 of Chapter 65 of the 192.3 amendments to the Ontario Highway Act reads as follows: hank into the Sangven river. Many uthm- dangm-nus puints along the County Highway might just as eas- ily be [minted nut. pass ”Vt'l‘ the highway. For a number of years, the. road- way from Flesherton to Ceylon has been a most dangerous one with its steep banks and sharp curves. We are glad to knew that this dan- ger has been removed, and as we lum- gone owr that portion of Hwy (inunty highway, we may add that the new fence is apparently adequate to furnish the proper proâ€" tertien to motorists or others who use the roadway. Hur mind, as we write this, drifts to the cmnlition ot the new road roreentb’ cut through the big hills in Hlenelg to get a more direct line of trawl instead of being forced to go around through what is known as the "Glen." “What would hap- pen should anything go wrong with a ear can easily be imagined by anyone who has travelled this road.

There is also a had place in the village of Priceville where. should a driver fail to make the turn. he would suddenly find himself precipitated over a steep? 'l'ho- placing of a fence along the county road between F lesherton and tjcylnn calls tn mind the fact that for a good many years, Grey County, and possibly a lot of other counties in the province have been flirting with fate in maintaining a lot of death traps along the rights of way under their jurisdiction. A county, municipality or firovinco is reSpon- :uhh- for its roadways. and we think we are safely within the bounds of truth when we say that this county especially has under its jurisdiction too many dangerous roadways. thiunties seem to be the worst otTo-nders, whether it is that they do not understand the situa- tion as well, or are more prepared to "take a chance" that nothing serious will happen to those who pass .m-r the highway.

Reeve Wil- liam Calder of Durham, who was really the moving spirit in the mat- ter. fought a hard battle for the urban centres. but it was evident right. from the start that he had no sympathy from the rural members, and the final vote bore this out, as there were but nine votes in favor of the scheme as against 25 opposed, with two absentees. There was very little fireworks in the discussion, and Reeve Calder fought. the battle almost alone, and he presented many Rimmer.â€"-â€"ln Durham, cm July 3, M Mr. and Mrs. H. Rimmel‘. a danghtvx'.

This is the law now generally en- forced in the cities which so many motnrists understand so little. Us- ually a city will designate certain main streets as "through” streets. Vehicles entering these streets from side streets are required to come to a full stop before proceeding in order to see that the line of traffic is clear. Side streets in this in- stance must be marked as such, usually with the words “STOP” and it is compulsory fo' all drivers to observe this regulation under penalty Hf llllt‘.

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL It was very disappointing to the urban representatives that neither Hon. George S. Henry, Minister of Highways, or S. L. Squire, the Deputy-Minister, put in an appear- ance,.as they had intimated they would do, and their absence was keenly felt. In fact, there were a number of unfavorable comments made, in View of the fact that it was on the advice of the Minister that the special session was called. The district engineer, Mr. Hawes, was wired to and came to the meet.- ing. but his prqence did not. go far toward achieVing any result.
