- r.V-

Hge raised the topic in discuss- ‘ mg at some length the railway- ‘ mghway crossing problem, noting mat he had been asked to focus ‘ aft of his address on grade cross

mg protection, or separation.

, Years ago. Mr. Gander‘ said, the issue was settled'by what f was known as the senior and ' junior rule. In cases where a f railway line came first, and a - highway crossed it later, the high way was judged the junior and D an protection costs were therefore ,‘ levied against. whatever govern- _ merit controlled it. ;* FRONTIERS EXTENDED But changes in this system had _ to be made as frontiers were ex- . tended. population centres in- creased and motor vehicles came into extensive use. The Board of . Transport Commissioners was es- '7 tablished, duly designated as the ' body which must decide in every " case whether a grade separation is desiraible and should be built, by whom it should be construicted f and by Whom the bill should be " aid. _ p“R.esponsibility. benefit and ability to pay are factors they take very much into account to- day," Mr. Gender said. _ He added that probably 90 per cent of reqiiests for grade se- parations come from the highway I authorities c-oncerined, at province county or municipal levels. With so many motor vehicles in gen- eral use, plus the annual inﬂux of tourists. it was necessary to —_ buﬂd better roads. eliminate some ,j grade crossings and protect many fathers. The trans-Canada high- ? way has "posed ‘special problems. , Grade crossing protection is much cheaper than separation, Mr. Gonder said. but it its not ‘always completely effective be- " cause the motorist. in many cases ’ will not heed the warning devices. In urban centres gnade crossing-s 3 often interfere with traffic and cause congestion. with the result ?‘that the demand for separation ‘was stronigest in cities. 3 MANY ACCIDENTS In 1956, Mr. Gonder said. the annual report of the transport commissioners showed 339 accid- ’ents where motor vehicles were struck by trains. In addition. ‘there were 209 mishaps where motor vehicles ran into the sides of tiwaiiiis. , “Payment of claims resulting

I Irom crossing accidents is clear

‘jCOl1ffll'tn'l'aL.‘l0Il of where the courts ' place responsiibiltiy,“ Mr. Gander continued. “In the first four . months of 1958 there were 31 ac-

cidents involving the CNIR report-1

ed in the A-tlaintic Provinces. The railway paid out just over $370 in

‘v claims, but collected over $16280

' it ratio of 44 to one." When an application for grade

separation is made to the board, - plans of the project and estimates

‘ at its cost have to be prepared, ' Mr. Gonder told the luncheon me- sting. These are usually discussed

; between representatives of the _ llrovincie and the railvwayls engin- eers, to ensure that what is pro- ; posed will meet the requirements

‘ both highway and riailwayItra«f- C

Rifany T0 COOPERATE "The board asks the railway

Z tor its submission." he said. "and E’ the policy of the

Canadian National in tliis regard is that We are prepared to contribute to- ward the cost of any grade se-

llara-tion, for. which need is prov-

9d. a sum calculated to represent the capitalized value of the econ- Qmic benefits which the construc- tion will produce for the railway tomipany."

At times. Mr. Goiider said. the railway becomes the butt of much public criticism when some par- ular grade crossing becomes a lource of repeated hazard or con- zestion. But it realized that in- adequate knowledge of the b°31‘d’s provisions and accepted Procedure is usually the cause for such criticism.

'1 must say that whenever we have gone to municipalities such cases. they have /been most

He had introduced the Inatter M grade separation into his ad- dre‘iss_as an illustration of the Way in which there has to he flhange to meet changing ciondi. ions. Mr. Condor said. vvihiat, is ml" 0f “his problem is true of ma11.V_ others 'affectin;.z railway Operation. Dieselization has b1‘0uEh‘t about what was literally a revolution in operating con- cepts.

From ll stemmed such advan. tages as longer runs with less in. terruptions for fueling, sex-vjc- ins’ and maintenance of equip- ment; ‘increased speeds; sharp reduction or even elimination of double - heading. Longer and therefore fewer trains are pm- viding less interference with one another and consequent less op- erating expense.

IMPORTANT SERVICE

"Passenger service in these- Aitlantic provinces is still an im- portant segment of railway traf- fic. Canadian National recently put. into effect markedly impro- ved scheduled between Halifax and Montreal. Halifax and Syd- ney. Moncton and Saint John, Moncton and Edmunduston. I am confident that still more impro- vements can be made. . . . but these wiilil involve change and we do invite your open—mlndodness in your approach to any suggest- ions we may make."

“We understand each local m:uniciDality’s vigilance for what it considers to be its own good”, Mr. Gonder said. “but I make bold to suggest that you take an objective view of each suggested change when your own munici- pality is affected.

“A feature of modern central- ized traffic control is that tele- graph operators at intermediate stations are no longer required for writing and delivering orders to passing trains. Operation is even safer when controlled by signal indication. ‘ ABANDONED LINES

"At several points on CTC ter- ritory. and for that matter else- where. there is no longer any justification for the railway maintaining an agency. Where local passenger. express and less-carload traffic has dwindled to the point of insignificance, we have applied to the Board of Transport Commissioners for abandonment of quite a few agencies. and there is no doubt

However. Mr. Gonder told the board of trade luncheon, the Caliiadian National has always tried‘ ‘to co-operate with any municipalities affected by chang- es. It had also endeavoured to keep such organizations as trade boards informed.

“We will continue this policy”, he said. "and we invite your un- defslandlinig and assistance in the solution of all our problems as they come along."

Dur- ing that period, Joe won $2,519,- 000. Many veterans consider O’Brien the best driver in the business. To many it appears he knows in advance just what he is going to do in a race. 0’B'rien denies this, holding to tlhe opin- ion that. a driver must keep an open mind to be ready for the unexpected. ‘Sometimes you will want to follow one opponent.

Each of the performers and the works they rendered were in- troduced by Mrs. Lea-Morgan.

The program began with the performances of the first year students who played simple mel- odies. More difficult selections were played by older more ex- perienced pianists who performed later in the program.

A collection, which was done- ted to the Protestant Welfare Bureau, was received. This col- lection. amounted to $15.50

Last Saturday night a very promising young pacer showed up in the D Pace at the Char- 1-ottetown tnack —- Belle Texas, owned by the Maupco stables of Sumimerside and driven by Har- old Stead. Her time was 2.16, and her smooth, effortless way of pacing should take her to a record very much faster. It was her first start.

A Canadian Press survey shows that harness racing tracks across Canada expect a big im- provement over last year when betting at major centers totalled more than $68 million. Harness racing is carried on in every

province except Alberta and Newfoundland. At Blue Bonnets Raceway,

Montreal. bettors dumped in an average of $270,000 a xiight into the pari-mutual machines. More than 2,100 houses are svtabled at Quebec tracks and 1,500 in On- tario, also about 800 in the Mlari- time provinces.
