Representing Heritage Park Ratepayers’ Association, its chair- man, Warren McKendry, said he had talked to several parents and the consensus of opinion was the super-continental flyer, re- routed to this track a few months ago. should be kept at reduced speed through the village crass- ing, after the present restriction following the accident is lifted. Trustees Chairman Donald Findlay reported discussing pos- sible precautions with the C.N. R.'s acting general manager for the region and said, "At the mo- ment the railway doesn’t know of anything more that’s practical on the length of time for the wig- wag signal. At present there is 20 seconds warning on a fast train and more on a slower train. Any longer, would mean the signal could ,be activated by a train standing at the station." They stressed, “Under current traffic conditions this danger has been aggravated and it is important that methods be found to prevent the recent tragic death at that crossing from being followed by others." would Cut Speedd V TAcres residents .'ere forming a Mr. Findlay commented. “Gates and light wouldn't necessarily prevent another accident." In Trustee Ronald Bolton’s opinion, “automatic gates at both cross- ings would do a lot to prevent ac- :ildents, as an immediate solu- on.” Trustees pointed out the crossing near the intersec- tion of Keele St. and Springhill Road “has for some time been a concern to the public and to public and railway officials at all levels." . For a peimanent solfitidn, they asked that considera- tion be given a grade separation, whereby railway track and the two affected streets are on different levels. Realizing such a change could take years. +rnstees recommended as immediate improvements for the pro- tection of the public, a combination of flashing signal lights, automatic crossing gates, train-operated roadway lights and lower train speeds. Mr. McKendry understood 75 miles per hour was the speed lim- it for the‘ flyer passing through the village and its average speed was 65 miles. “The feeling of the majority is that's too fast through a populated area." He asked if a petition would do any good and Mr. Findlay said, "It wouldn’t do any harm." Following the fatality a week earlier at King City level crossing, village trustees passed a resolution at their April 13 meeting, asking Toronto and York Roads Com- mission to inspect “the highly dangerous C.N.R. crossing.” Mr. Findlay noted township and village had contacted Toron- to and York Roads Commission prior to the accident. and since then township sent the Commis‘ sion a resolution asking that the crossing be made safer. "Village, township and county‘ rcpresentatives met in the vicin- ity to examine by-pass routes. but if anything comes of it. it would be a matter of years." Mr. Find- lay reported. For grade separa- tion. formal application must be made to the Board of Transport Commissioners. A delezation of four. Mr. Frank Powell. Mr. Angus Fraser, MI‘.

Heading a delegation of three| from Valentine Acres, Mr. Fred Patterson pointed out a ditch block in front of the new Bell Telephone Building on Patton Street was preventing water from getting away and was ruining what grading had been done on the road.

Trustee Bolton said the subdivider would be notified to have it cleared within two weeks or he would be billed the cost of having the village main- tenance man do the job.

Mr. Bolton considered, “The township building inspector should have caught that in the first place.” Objecting to residents being re- quired to install different cul- verts because the first ones are not meeting department standard, Mr. Lawrence wanted to know. “Whose responsibility is it?” Trustees Findlay and Bolton advised him to “sit tight" and they would keep in touch with the ratepayers’ association if there are any developments. Mr. McKendry reported receiv- ing several ’phone calls about tap water having bits of wood and metal in it. Trustees said this was the first they had heard about it. Water in other sections of the village appeared normal. Plum- ber Harry Noakes was to be ask- ed to investigate. Consider Lights Roads Commissioner Mrs. Scott reported culvert work done in Heritage Park and Kingsview Subdvislon and reminded the sand barrels would have to be collect- ed.

Mr. Findlay introduced a brief discussion about some type of small multiple equipment such as jeep or small tractor with attach- ments. which could be used for certain village jobs, such as side- walk snow-plowing. For road chores Mr. Bolton suggested con- tracting with a man who has a grader. rather than investing in equipment. A $178.45 credit from Interna- tional Water Supply was reported. The meeting was over shortly after ten p.m.. owing to lack of heat in the fire hall. Trustees and reporters shivered in the 55 degree temperature and delega- tions did not linger the entire session as they do frequently.

It’s incon- ceivable to us, but people were punished for that."
