Mr. Lazenby had noted that there were no signs posted on Bayview Avenue and Vaughan Road limit- ing the speed of vehicles. He asked who is responsi- ble for policing these roads and who is responsible should accidents occur be- cause of lack of speed lim- itation. The answer was that both roads are under the jurisdiction of the To- ronto and York Roads Commission. It was report. ed that Engineer A. J. Ret- tie had been approached and he had promised im- mediate actiOn on the mat- ter. .u... .H V __ _, street. The police commit- tee reported its members felt that any change in the positioning of present signs is not warranted. The committee recom- mended that interested cit- izens in this area concerned with a change consult with their councillor. RINGWOOD: Miss Priscilla Pipher of Ringwood celebrated her 90th birthday December 10 and received close to 100 visi- tors. Miss Pipher was born at Dickson’s Hill and has lived in her Ringwood- residence for 80 years. v The ladies auxiliary has also recently elected a new execu- tive and chase Lucy Rickard as president. Kay Wood was elect- ed lst vice-president and Edith Titshall 2nd vice-president. Au- drey Apperley will continue to represent the branch at Sunny- brook. The ladies make a mon- thly trip to the hospital and Audrey has missed only one visit in the last six years. On December 8 six ladies of the auxiliary covered the whole of the fourth floor. and part of the third in distributing Christmas gifts to 150 patients. They also visited Comrade Wally Spohr land 85 year old Pop Jarvis, life member of the Legion who has Another question by Mr. Lazenby dealt with failure of traffic lights at the cor- ner of Bayvicw and Mark- ham Roads. He asked who was responsible for seeing that these lights were kept operating. The answer again was the Toronto & Yorks Road Commission. Referring to the lack of speed limit signs on Vau- ghan Road, Mr. Lazenby noted that it is quite pos- sible for vehicles to come “sifting” over the top of the hill to the west of Yonge Street and be un- nble to stop on demand of the traffic lights. This could cause a serious acci- dent. “We have done all we could by bringing this to the attention of the prop- er authorities." Mr. Lazen- by commented," so if such an accident takes place we are out of the picture. This is the point I am trying to get across." It was also noted that the traffic lights at Mark- ham and Bayview have been adjusted slightly for clear visibility from all di- rections. The Ward 2 councillor also asked for investigation of moving stop signs at Fauna Avenue and Rock- port Crescent so that Rock- port would become a stop street. The police commit- tee reported its members felt that any change in the positioning of present signs is not warranted. The committee recom- mended that interested cit- izens In this area concerned with a change consult with their councillor.
