Far be it from us to retard the wheels of progress in any shape or form, but the wheels of progress will have little need of turning if we do not find materials to house our population. not because the owner does not want to continue building, it‘s beâ€" cause he can‘t get materials The funny part of it all is that there are also a great many other buildâ€" ings such as garages, additions to factories, etc., etc., that could very well wait until material was more plentiful, being built. 8 So we want to make Waterloo a city. It seems a high price to pay for merely the privilege of separatâ€" ing from the county. True, we hope une of these days to have the popuâ€" lation that will merit becoming a vity, but for Waterloo to assume the status of a city at this time, with a 10,000 population, would it perhaps only be visiting more trouble on the citizens, in the form of higher taxes and larger expenâ€" ditures? This is one time that our town council should adopt the "make haste slowly program", and make sure that they are not pulling us uut of the frying pan only to drop us in a hotter spot. J.H.S. Mayor Heer gets the pat on the back this week for casting the deâ€" viding vote in favor of the Police Commission. Our mayor was wise in being slow to show his hand on this issue, but when he did there was no doubt about where he stood. homes going up all over Canada, and probably the reason we notice more what is happening here is beâ€" cause we see them more often. Many of the homes that have been started here, have only started and then died a natural death. This is J.H.S. It‘s amusing to waich the dogs around Waterloo. Now that they have their freedom, most of giem will hardly go off the front porch. While the order to keep them tied was still in effect they would disâ€" appear at every opportunity. In one regard at least they are huâ€" man . . . if they can‘t have a thing, then that‘s what they want. i JHS. Something certainly needs to be done about the railway shunting their freight cars across the main street at the noon hour. For its size there isn‘t a more congested town in Canada than Waterloo, yet we sit back and let the railway do just as they please. _ They did make better than a fair job, with the result that at the present time there are no real bad holes to throw your car out of conâ€" trol . However, with the amount of traffic on these streets it will only be a question of time, when these excavations will be a real hazard. Might we suggest that they be filled in before that time? With the amount of sewers that are being installed on some of Waâ€" wrloo‘s streets, it will soon be a q:sestion of what kind of a street they are . .. dirt . . . or pavement. One thing we will say for the boys who have filled in the holes. Largest and Newslest In the first place, some say, the railways should never have been allowed to build tracks across any of the streets . . . regardless of inâ€" dustry, and in the second and more important place, they certainly have no business interfering with the rights of old John Public. It‘s bad cnough that we have to wait while they shunt their cars back and forth during working hours. but when they start that kind of stunt during the noon hour, then it‘s time to cut them off for at least 10â€"15 minutes at 12 noon. As an example: at three minutes after twelve today (Tuesday) when every man and his dog were rushâ€" ing furiously home to dinner, the railway suddenly decided that they: have about twenty odd freight ca.rs‘ that have to be shunted right across King St., in Waterloo. You don‘t need much imagination to know what _ happened, provided you weren‘t held up by this same outâ€" fit, which you probably were. JHS. For some reason or other the boys on the council séem to have suddenly come to life and decided that more business and less futile discussion during the council meetâ€" ing would be a good thing. This attitude toward the business of the town, is to be commended. J.HS.

It was decided to grant the Powâ€" er Company permission to set up this line if they agreed to move it should the council decide to erect some buliding in the area through which the line must pass.

BERLIN.â€"The Allied Control (By Chronicle Correspondent} (By Chronicle Correspondent) Father Forced To Sidelines, Daughter Carries On Man Dies When Heart Attack Causes Car To Crash NEW _ HAMBURG. â€" Herbert Luft, 52, well known New Hamâ€" burg businessman, was dead when taken from his car after it had crashed into a tree a quarter of a ruile east of here on Highway 7 and & about 6.15 Saturday evening. Mr. Luft and a younger brother conâ€" cucted the bakery business of Luft Bros. Mr. Luft was on his way home to New Hamburg from Kitchener where he had taken a load of bread and he was using his own car when the accident occurred. According to Chief of Policc E. F. Scherer who investigated the accident, the car was travelling west when it made a sharp turn across the road and struck the tree. There were no skid marks showing that he had made an attempt to stop. According to Dr. T. B. Feick, who was called to the scene of the acciâ€" dent, Mr. Luft was dead when he arrived. It was known that he was aMicted with a heart ailment. It Dr. Feick‘s belief is that he sufâ€" fered a weak spell wrieh caused him to swerve. The injuries he reâ€" coived, however, were sufficient to cause almost instant death as his chest and ribs were badly crushed, the doctor said. Held between the steering column of the car and the instrument board, he was removed with difficulty. ® is not known whether or not this was the cause of the accident and his death. Crowd Ot 2,000, Thrilled By Daring Motorcycle Drivers Chief Scherer said there would be no inquest. Mr. Luft was born in Waterloo, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Fienry Luft, but came to New Hamburg with his parents, his faâ€" ther having purchased the bakery. In 1924 he and his brother took over the business and operated it under the name of Luft Bros. In July, 1920, he was married to Larkie Sceigner who with one son, Harold of London, survive.

Schoeneich FRIDAY, NORBSmIEH1, 1948 (By Chronicle Correspondent) A letter from the Kitchener P.UC. read at the Waterloo Town Council meeting expressed the hore that Waterloo would carry out its intentions to eliminate angle parkâ€" ing on King St. It stated that the trolley busses required a greater clearance than the streetâ€"cars and about one hundred and fifty feet of clear space was nx}uired at all bus stops to give ample room to pull over to the cynb. P.U.C Ask Elimination Ot Angle Parking The settlement terms were tenâ€" tatively agreed upon at a meeting between representatives of compaâ€" ny and union.

The objection raised against paâ€" rallel parking was that it reduced the number of cars that could park on King St. and thus affect busiâ€" ness. A suggestion was made that the area back of the market buildâ€" ing be used as a public parking lot. The board of trade was against elimination of angle parking for the same reasons. Engineer Bradley was asked to conduct a survey and report on the difference in the number of cars between angle parking and parallel parking. B.F.
