one which is shown TO have SO feet. However,
upon careful investigation OF the records In the
office Of the Register of Deeds at Corunna, we
fine thas Mr. Carr's property really has q front
age OF only about three rods Lot one should be
assessed on q basis of 66 IT, instead of Sc IT,
which Mr.. Cadwallader says he is willing to
allow. This leaves q deficit OF 81 IT, In that
block which we are unable to place or account
investigation of all the titles, and by establish
ing the lines OF various lots, but we consider
that this would entail an additional cost greater
than the cost of the missing So IT. lflt
We therefore recommend that the assessment
on the l6x IT Of Mr. Carr's property be omitted
from the 1918 roll.

SUGGESTS NEW
VEHICLE LAW

r. +. Hampton addressed letter tc
The Tribune yesterday suggesting thai
law be passed by the commissioner:
making it compulsory that every We
hicle must stop when coming up behind
street car which is discharging pas
sengers. The letter follows:
Editor TrDune-In view OF the
numerous accidents on our streets, I
desire to make this suggestion to you,
and II you see fit, boost II all you
can.
II you will go back IN your mem
ory over the numerous accidents
that we have had, you will find that
a great majority OF them have been
connected in some way with the
street cars. and my suggestion is that
g. law be passed by the commission
ers and strictly enforced that every
moving vehicle when coming to n
street car that has stopped to take
on or TO let off passengers shall stop
still until the said car is in motion
again.
Perhaps I have not made this quite
clear. but you Will get the point be-
cause p actlcally all OF these acct
dents have been caused by motor
cycles, automobiles and others try
ing to pass a street car when people
were getting off or on, or when foot
passengers were crossing the street
after the car has stopped.
I hope you can see ut to advocate
this. and / think that you will find
that while 1t will make It inconve-
nient sometimes for some of us that
try TO be careful, but in the long run
there will be less accidents
have talked with several ply
| slcians today and they al agree that
| Il is good idea.
| Yours very truly,
