TiMOS.A0V9cate., October S, 1907 Poge:a Hay seeks improvement
at dangerous intersection Centennial caravan
Members of Hay council passed
motions Monday night to provide
fez' the safety and comfort of
township residents.
Clerk W. 11, Hrokenshire was
instructed to contact the Hon,
C, S. MacNaughton and the de-
partment of highways to see if
an extra merging lane could be
built pn the north sideof Highway
84 at sideroad 9/10.
The Hensall District Co-op is
located on the sideroad and slow-
moving farm vehicles use the
road steadily and create danger-
ons situations when they enter
the highway and proceed west
And the sounds of other times

Of the voyageurs probing the
heart of a continent, the gar-
ruleUs laughter of a tavern of
Upper Canada, the puffing and
clatter of a prairie-bound steam
engine, the shriek of bomb and
shell in war.

book after touring the Confeder-
ation Caravan feel they know a
little more about the people who
passed this way before us.

the east can not be easily seen

moving vehicles pulling onto the
highway.
Members were of the opinion

rectified if the slower vehicles
could proceed west on a merging
lane before entering the highway.
The other motion was to call
tenders for the installation of an
Oil furnace in the township hall
