HIGHWAY PATROL QUESTION.
Effective the first of this month, the Ontario Department of
Highways closed the Lucknow depot at the north end of 'the village'
and moved the Lucknow patrol to, the Winghambuilding where, in
future, it will, work' from.
The Sentinel . commented' about this Move in the March 26th
issue and judging from the response: fromreaders to the story, it ' is
evident that a.large,number of local people are concerned about •' the
moving'of the Lucknow patrol;. .
gg
Tn the, March 26 comment, we suggested that `our member of the
Ontario Legislature for Huron -Bruce look into the matte and :obtain'
what information he could as"to.the closing and the.reas ns..
Indiscussion- with Murray Gaunt, we have yearned that the De-
partment of Highways recently set dow'a policy of reviewing smaller
patrols throughout . the district •and that the results of this review left
the future of , six patrols in doubt: , From what • Mr. Gaunt was able" to
'learn from the,district engineer at Stratford, five of these patrols were.
eliminated .,completely, Elmira, Wroxeter, .Arthur, Sebringville and '
Monkton. The sixth patrol; Lucknow, was moved, to operate out of the
Wingham depot, in ' a new buildingsouth of that town.
According to the information givenAto. Mr. Gaunt by the Depart-
"Ment of . Highways, the Department was taking : a long hard look at
some of the smaller patrols with anything under 38-40 miles' of a'run.
The overall average for, patrols in the Stratford district had been less
than 25 miles in..length.' With the elimination of the five 'mentioned,' the
o verall _average mileage for patrols has been increased. to 36... ' /1
The.'De artment told Mr. 'Gaunt that it was .not feasible to o
p h-.
erate' two buildings within `twelve ,miles' of each other when; the
Wingham building would handle the Lucknow patrol, as well as 'the
Wingham patrol.
The •Sentinel: would like to make thefollowing comments on the
:matter which are djrected to the Ontario Department' of ';Highways
o -set; up -the -policy- to- :tie -followed:,
Firstly, if information given to us is correct, the Lucknow ' patrol
is (or was) 42 miles in length: It stretches from Amberley to just past
Molesworth. The '`Ontario Department : of : Highways informed. Mr.
Gaunt that patrols in the 3841 mile and under bracket had been ex-
amined when actually 'Lucknow" was 'above that figure.
•
It was `stated. by the Ontario Department of Highways that it,
is 'an advantage to • have the patrol depot hi. the centre of the area
served:. We fail to see the advantage here: All the. road has to be.. ser-
viced and ' patrolled.' Does it matter much where the work is started?
