Among the districts which have been leaders ‘among the municipalities in providing mmmmuwmumcwmntwm Evidence of this was furnished in the comâ€" pletion recently of the Wellesleyâ€"Philipsburg highway which was formally opened recently in the presence of civic and parliamentary â€"repâ€" resentatives and a large gathering of citizens. ‘The building of this highway solves a longâ€" shndinspmblemlnthhdhh‘letlndfnlfllhl longâ€"felt need insofar as Wellesley is concernéd. It at the same time links together the townâ€" ships of Wilmot and Wellesley and furnishes improved road facilities which cannot but prove of material aid in promoting the welfare of the two townships and of the county: generally, .

The making of our highways safer was the dominant note struck at the annual convention of the Good Roads Association held last week. This was emphasized by the Ministers of Highâ€" ways of both Ontario and Quebec. Hon. Mr. Henry of Ontario described the problem as "the most difficult facing roadâ€"governing bodies," and declared that "until the awful toll of need> lessly wasted life is reduced to a minimum no greater or more necessary work can be underâ€" taken at the present time than enforcing upon the user of the highway the need of careful, ‘cautious consideration of the rights and lives of others." Hon. Mr. Perron, Minister of Highâ€" ways of Quebec, was equally emphatic. He deâ€" scribed it as a "national duty" to take steps "to put an end to that waste of life which we have seen more especially in the last three years, on account of reckless driving and violaâ€" tion of every possible law of safety and good behaviour on the road". The problem is one that needs to be energetically coped with and it is encouraging to note that in both these provinces action is being taken to meet the situation in an effective Congestion of traffic in various cities is calling for new methods of meeting the problem. In the neighboring city of Kitchener, traffic at certain hours has become so heavy at some of the main intersections that it was recently suggested that electric traffic signals be inâ€" stalled. They are now in operation in many of the large centres and appear to be giving satisfactio8 way. It is evident that the wideâ€"spread use of the automobile for business and personal use has so congested traffic in large centres that the automatic regulation of traffic has become essential. Before automobiles were so preâ€" valent, a traffic officer, stationed at aâ€"street line intersection, could easily direct traffic and handle it so that there was little or no conâ€" gestion even during rush hours. The rapidly increasing use of the automobile has, however, created a traffic problem which can be solved ‘properly only by regulating traffic. The installation of electric traffic signals in an increasing number of centres indicates that they are considered as useful in moving traffic quickly and efficiently with the result that people are able to get through congested traffic areas in a much shorter time, It is obâ€" vious that the intelligent regulation of traffic not only saves considerable time and annoyance but prevents accidents. 3 ‘The identification of voters at munitipal, provincial and federal elections, in the large centres especially, presents a problem which was discussed_by representatives of various municipalities at the convention of the Union of Canadian Municipalities recently. It was pointed out that in some cases the same person registered in different divisions. In Montreal, for instance, the authorities were unable to identify many voters, a large number of whom were Russians and Poles and â€"they registered without being identified. A special committee in that city appointed to look into the matter came to the conclusion that voters should have ROADWAY MEETS LONGâ€"FELT NEED | IDENTIFICATION CARDS SUGGESTED | in United Btatee, por year. FAVOR ENERGETIC ACTION ELECTRIC TRAFFIC SIGNALS EC in their own countries to have a book for identiâ€" fieation purposes. It was ‘also pointed out that hundeds of thousands of people today have to carry automobile _ licenses and it would be no more trouble to carry a card of identification than to carry a license, a It was further urged that with the coming of many immigrants from other lands,â€" all sorts of problems are created, not the least of which is relief to those who cannot secure employâ€" ment. It was therefore necessary to have some means of checking up and identifying foreignâ€" ers. The inclusion of a photograph was also thought desirable, s The convention finally adopted a resolution suggesting that the Federal Government should study the identification card system, with photograph, for aliens or other citizens. ~â€"â€" The system suggested would undoubtedly serve a useful purpose and is worthy of conâ€" sideration. Td ? An important question considered at the annual convention of the Union of Canadian Municipalities this year was that of having accurate and permanent voters‘ lists. It was pointed out that there were three essentials to a good voters‘ list. Firstâ€"easy and convenient methods of registration. Second â€"low and equitable distribution of cost in the preparation of voters‘ lists; and thirdâ€"a comâ€" plete and accurate list of voters. f Among the changes suggested was that a voter once registered should remain on the list for life, or as long as he continues to reside at the same place within the municipality. If he changes his residence within the municipality, he should be permitted to transfer his registraâ€" tion to his new address any day throughout the year, during office hours, by depositing a sworn statement with the City Clerk, excepting for a period of three or four weeks immediately prior to an election date. The Clerk should have a permanent list in his office and, on preâ€" sentation by the voter of a sworn statement that he is qualified to vote, after verification by competent officers, add his name to the list or make such changes as may be required by circumstances. ¢ *3 ‘The Clerk should also have authority to change the place of residence or other qualificaâ€" tion at any time on the submission of a sworn statement. Further, the Clerk should have authority to remove any name from the list which does not appear on the assessment roll, or by reason of death (the Clerk is the Registrar of Deaths) or by reason of the submission of a sworn stateâ€" ment by any ratepayer that he knows personâ€" | SUGGEST PERMANENT VOTERS®‘ LISTS | ally that the voter objected to has removed from the municipality. â€" ' The Clerk should be required to notify, by mail, all parties as to the action taken by him on any appeal for addition, removal, or change of address, and an opportunity given to appeal from the action of the Clerk to the Judge of the County Court, at least three weeks prior to the date of the proposed election. The oath to beâ€"taken and the gnalification for Federal or Provincial elections should be the same. It is estimated that the savings effected by these simple changes in the Voters‘ List Act would aggregate a large sum and that the conâ€" venience to the electors would be very much augmented. It was also suggested that the preparation of the voters‘ lists be in the hands of the municipal authorities, which would result in a more accurate list. They have all the informa tion at hand and the lists would therefore be far more accurate than those prepared by the Dominion authorities. The convention finally passed a resolution to the effect that it favored the preparation of electoral lists for municipal, provincial and federal elections by the various municipalities and that the cost of same be equitably distriâ€" The suggestions merit the serious conâ€" sideration of the authorities as they tend to emmthowlvilenqlthefnnchiu__h:hm number who are barred for one reason or anâ€" other at election time. | ~In the passing of the late Dr. MeEachern of Linwood, the county lost a highly regarded citizen who worthily served the community to which he so long ministered in the pursuit of his chosen The complimentary references to the w of County Road Superintendent Levi Lichty, made at the formal opening of the Wellealeyâ€" Philipsburg highway, indicate _ wellâ€"deserved who formatory for from three months to h.mfin“m‘dh the .Police Court on Sept.

An anonymous teleâ€" | phone call was sent summoning the police to a house oceupled by Luigi Cheantelli, 67 years of ago. There they found the doors barred, and, after gaining admission, discovered Edna Drury, 19 years of age, locked in an insideâ€"room, while a loaded revolver was found on a bureau outâ€" side the door. The other girl, Elizaâ€" beth Currie, 19, escaped and was the one who sent in the call to the police. Cheantelli was arrested as the jailor of the girls, and was fined $50 for having a revolver and held in custody on the other charge. â€" Cheantell brought the girls from Hamilton, it is said, and promised to take them to a girls‘ rooming house, but instead trapped them in his own place.
