The expansion of the hydro ir this district is to be seen in the fact that nearly S,000 homes now enjoy this boon. it is interesting to note that practically all the main lines have been erected and the work now remaining consists almost entirely of connecting the homes of applicants for service. " is also observed that the homes are preparing to utilize electric labor savers such as washing machines, electric ranges. electric refrigerators and radios as is "idem from the fact that many of them are being provided with three wire services instead of two wire services. That the householders in the rural district of Waterloo County are utilizing Hydro to an ever increasing extent is evident in the figures recently given at the " ice of the Rural Hydro. They revealed the fact that fifty per cent. of the farms are equipped with Hydro while many more are planning to make use of the service avuilable. The older bridges which are being replaced were too narrow and unsuited to the traffic to which they are subjected. During the many years in which they have been in use they served the public well but modern conditions can for modern structures as the traffic over the various roads of the country increases from year to year. The building of these modern structures will facilitate the movement of traffic. remove sources of danger to the public and will general- ly serve a moat useful purpose in improved facilities for travel. A short time ago the big bridge over the Nith River at New Hamburg was opened to traftie while at present there is under construc- tion a big new structure at Haysville over the Nith River. It is also but a few years ago that a fine new bridge was erecter over the river at Freeport. Others are also to be built, including a new bridge at Breslau on the provincial high- way, the route of the road depending on the construction of a subway underneath theCamv. dian National Railway tracks, application for which will be made to the Board of Railway Commissioners for Canada in the near future. A new bridge at Wallenstein is also under con- struction at the present time. l During the past few years progressive Iteps have been taken by the county of Water- too in conjunction. with the Provincial High- ways Department in replacing bridges which have fallen into disrepair or become danger- ous. with more modern structures. Advance reports do not indi'eate that the Liberal party wil put any impediment in the way of quick disposal of business to enable Mr. Bennett to go to the Empire Conference. in fact Mr. King has indicated his readiness to facilitate matters except where his party might find itself in eoniticf with the administration on vital principles of government. These courses are aimed at the temporary relief of unemployment. The _broader policy ad.. vacated by Mr. Bennett in his campaign strives to reach basic conditions through agricultural and industrial encouragement. This hinges up- on tariff adjustments/of a controversial charms ter and specific action will depend largely upon the course of events at the economic conference in Iamdon. silence tariff adjustments, beyond probable suspension of countervailing duties, will not be taken up at the emergency session of the House. - WthMh-OI-LLIL '“M is passed. This has, it is understood, been re- jected in favor of the two weeks' sitting for which members will draw only the statutory allowance of $25 per day. The legislation to be presented will include provision for cooperation with the provinces and municipalities to forward public works which might otherwise be postponed for a year or two. A considerable expanded program of Federal public works is also indicated. (hm Wow-uN-LD “mkM-dumulumm Wat-doc Chronicle “a nu. In Uni“ M - you. "r""""""""""" I.

The new law has much to commend it and will protect the public from financially irrv- sponsible persons who may be responsible for accidents but who hitherto had no means with which to satisfy a claim. The obligation of hav- ing to carry insurance on his motor vehicle covering loss in case of an accident or to provide securities for the amounts mentioned above, will afford compensation to persons who may be injured or the families of those who may he killed. Under the new law proof of financial re- sponsibility shall also be given by every driver and, in the case of the owner", in the same amounts for each vehicle registered in his name. This includes at least $5,000 for injury to or death of any one person and at least $10,000 for injury or death of two or more persons in any one accident and at least $1,000 for damage to property of others resulting from any one accident. . l " Upon conviction of an operator of a motor ‘vehicle for any of the offettees named .below, T his driver's license and all motor vehicle permits 'issued to him will be suspended until such oper- ator gives proof of his ability to compensate financially those whom he may endanger in the 'future. The offences are: reckleSs driving, if any injury to person or property occurs in con- nection therewith; racing on the highways; exceeding the speed limit, if injury to person or property occurs in connection therewith ; failure to remain at or return to, the scene of the acci- dent and to furnish the names and addresses of driver and owner of vehicle and failure to render all possible assistance. if directly or in-, directly a party to the accident; driving a motor vehicle on the highway without holding a dviver's license; any criminal offence involving‘ the use of a motor vehicle, including driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated. . It is also provided that every" person in charge of a motor vehicle who is directly or in- directly involved in an accident if the accident results in personal injuries or in damage to property apparently exceeding $50, shall report such accident forthwith to the nearest provirr. cial or municipal police officer. No motorist ia atfeeted by this law until he brings himself within its provisions. It will not impose any obligation upon those who drive safely and obey the Act and who, in the case of accidents, pay judgments rendered against them for injury done to persons or property. A new measure for safety on the highways of the province will become effective September lst in an amendment made to the Highway Traffic Act, known as the "Financial Responsi- bility Law." The purpose of the law is to further en- courage safe driving of motor vehicles, in the interest of the public as well as of the owners and drivers. Infantile wily-in which ha made its - penance in vuious communities is being com- batted by the administering of a serum {amiab- od by the Ontario Health Department. The culmination of the convention which was held at Toronto was reached when a special train conveyed the delegates to Waterloo where they were acorded a warm welcome at the head office of the Company. A tour of the Twin-City concluding with a big picnic at Waterloo’s beau- tiful park brought the event to a fitting and happy conclusion. The Mutual Life Assurance Company has long held a premier place among the life com- panies of Canada and with each successive year continues to forge ahead. Its management is characterized by progressive yet conservative policies which have solidly established it in the confidence of the public evidenced by its sub- stantial growth from year to year. Its record has been one in which the Company may well take pride and satisfaction.
