The bill moved by Dr. A: A. Mc-'
Donald in regard to the use of unto- mobiles' was given its second lead- ing ou Tuesday afternoon when a fairly lengthy debate arose. The bill providesz- .
ill That section 25 of the ubovc
act be repealed.
That section reiads as follows: "Nothwlthstandlng anything in this
act contained. no motor vehicles shall run oi' be operated on the public roads of the province on Tuesday. Friday. Saturday or Sunday of each week,
(2) it is also provided that sci:tlo'u
24 be repealed. lt reads: “Tile Gov- ernor ln Council shall also have pow- er' to make such filrther regulations for restricting the use of the pilbiic highways by motor vehicles and for imposing such further condltlouii up- on owuers and drivers thereof, ns may
be deemed advisable."
The following is ;-substituted lil llcu thereof:-The Lieutenant Governor in . Council shall have power to make such regulations' alld may impose such penalties and forfeitures for f'all- ing to comply with the said regular-° tions as he may deem advisable and may further restrict the use of thc public highways by motor ve-hlclesf and for ull ol any of such purposc= _may prescribe the means and pro-I cedurc to be used in enforcing such regulations penalties and forfeitures.
Mit. BELI. said that one of the mplri
difficulties with respect to thc opera- tion of motor vehicles upon the public highways was the objection that was raised in the country. -that their use' would drive old men and women and children off, the roads. He said theleI was an apprehension on the part of the people tha; they could' not safely' entrust their women folk on the roads'
lon as lnotor' vehicles were lil op
strictest. regulations be enforced to" meet this objection. He thought that the chauffeur should be compelled. bn approaching a carriage, to get out of his car and assist the occupants of the carriage, it they were women und children. This would constitute the cllailffeill' ri kind of policeman or guardian and of the peace and a man
least his wife and children would be 'as"s.`a`l“e` on 'the' roads as if he were with them. He -suggested that an antonio- biie should stop at least 50 yards from appronclllug teams. Mr. Bell said that he realized there was a certain per- centage of people ln some parte of the couiitrywho wanted the au-1 tomoblle. but he tllought It was his duty to his constituency to oppose the bill. He thougllt that the best way of arriving at the true state of public feeling in the matter was by taking a plcblaclte. The system or opening thc roads on petition was no; a fair cnc.
HON. A. E. ARSENAULT said
that if he thought that the operation ot' the bill would tend to drive women and clllldren off the roads he would be thc last to do Anything to open the highways to automobiles; but how were they to judge as to whether the highways would be closed to women and children by the use oi' motor ve- hicles? He said they had to judge by the experience of other places where motor cars were used and when he said “other places" he meant prac- tically the wlioleworld. because every civilized country today was using au- tomobiles. if the effect of the use of motor' cars in other provinces had ‘been what it was claimed it would bc in this province. he did not think U10 people would tolerate lt. ill Nova Sco- tia some years' ago the same agitation was carried on as in P. -E. island. lt was worse than it was in this prov- ince so much so that the Government ol' Nova Scotia took the precaution to give each municipality the lli-th! to bar cars on certain days of the week, For a short time I-Ile m\ll\I(`I' palltles took advantage of tils~ pro- vialen until they saw it was only a hug-bear. After the tllst yellr_ they did not _take the trouble to 'rs-enact the regulations lu regard. toprohlblt- cd days. There was no objection -from Nova Scotia now. A letter written by Mr, course. lic soul. had appeared lu ii local paper stating that._i\ resolution was going to be briiugilt before oneof the County (founcl s for the purpose of repealing the act and barrll\S N0' tor cars, He did bring up-_bis resolu- iicn. sui strange to my. out _the 32 members' in tba¢.Councli Ito. _dl U19 only one that voted fof,If. ll his seeonrlsr voted -against it. Every pro- vince in Canada, said Mr. Arsenault. had motor cars and no province was taking any steps to repell its motor laws, and no state in the American Union was taking any -such step either. Only a few days ago thc Governor' General. at the Good Roads Conference. said that the motor ve hicle had been the greatest road builder; in the world. l-le wie' snDl>0\'I' ed in' that contention by Sir George Foster and the Leader' of the Opposi- tion Sir Wilfrid' Laurier. who graced the Conference by his presence, Some of these men had some ex_parleuce'.’
in perfect an-sement with ihs,5f,ead _ of the Opposition, he thoulmmlft should be the strictest .rlllila to
