We have spoken of this before, the fact that apparently all the department cares about is the dollar fee, and have suggested that it would be in the interest of all drivers and of safer driving if a reasonably strict test were imposed on applicants for licenses. It does seem ridiculous, or it certainly would be ridic- ulous if it were not the next thing to criminalâ€"to turn loose on the highways a lot of drivers who know absolutely noth- ing about their machines except the starter, the accelerator, the steering wheel and the horn. Yet that, so far as we can learn, is about the extent of the average examination. So it might be in order to suggest to the new Minister that he would be doing a good job and helping materially to increase highway safety if he stiffened the requirements for drivers’ licenses. ' Not the least impressive comment is the series of signs for level crossings proposed in the Toronto Telegram. There Also if he m ing another exan I, So far the chief impression on the public from the various probes in progress,â€"Hydro, Abitibi, Air Service, T. 8; N. 0., etcâ€"has been that the Henry government was a1- tOgether too secretive about its ways of doing business. Mr. Buchanan was paid his salary in cash as Hydro orator and the commissioners didn’t want anybody to know he was paid for his speeches. That would spoil the effect, Mr. Maguire is credited with saying. Abitibi worked in a fog of secrecy and the chief new fact emerges that the work cost $26,000,000 or some six to eight millions more than the public have been led to believe. No audit of thekair service books at the Sault hangar has ever been made,â€"an almost unbelievable fact. The T. & N. O. has cost $58,000,000, according to the latest estimate, with deficits since 1915, with the exception of one year, although the rosy stuff handed to the news- papers conveyed quite a different impression. Will Th mounting toll from accidents at level crossings is occasioning a good deal of comment throughout the country these days and newspapers everywhere are calling atten- tion to the necessity for care in approaching such crossings in an automboile. com} day ship: ests have sults than chants’ A who are ( munities “Onta endorse t} mes: all 0 of e: side concerns, and not curbed, there section and the (:01 altogether.
