Enclosed with the copy of the
by-law was a letter from Town
Solicitor J. Kenneth Bunter sug-
gesting -that "the whole platter -of
thelregulation of speed limits with-
in corporate boundaries might well
be mads a motion to be 'considered
by the Association of Mayors and
Reeves and by other niuuicipal as-
' soriations for submission to Queen's
'ark, with a view to granting muni-
cipalities a wider discretion in con-
trolling rates of speed where there
is an obvious danger to the public."
A standard rate of speed of `IO
miles au hour within municipal
boundaries has been set 'by the
Highway •.lratlic Ae•t except in, rases
of streets within public parks. As

Claim Separation of Towns Would
Destroy County Systeme as Hespeler
Withdraws Bill After Discussion
A bretlltilowu of the system of
counties, as exists in the proviuce
today would result if towns were
allowed the Towu of
lIesp eler-was told'\\'ednesday of last
week when It applied to the Private
Bills. Committee of the Legislutttre
for the right to - separate from
Waterloo County. Ilespeler is pro-
testing ,the, amount it 'is .assessed
for counts roads costs.
From evidence heard at the hear-
ing the Government learned that
there are some 61 other municipal-
ities supporting the He$peler move,
uulesS there is an equalization of
county road costs by the Govern-
nieat, they, too; are seriously think-
ing of applying forVieparation from
the counties - in which they are
located.
Unfair Burden
"From (Whitby to Tecumseh and
from Dundas to Goderich there are
towns that want to leave the county
system because of what they con-
sider the unfair burden of county
roads costs," c}ee1ared Mr. Wood's.
It. M. Myers, P.C. member for
Waterloo South, told the com'ntittee
cities pay only a foxed half of one
mill for the upkeep of county roads
whereas towns like Ilespeler, with
ti copulation of 4,000, are assessed
three and a quarter mills.
lHespeler, he said, had felt the
benefits it derives from the road
system are not equal to the tax.
Mr. Myers „warned the committee
the whole county system in the
province would be threatened if
Hespeler's move succeeded.
"What would" happen to the
county system as -we have it to-
day?" asked the legislator.
Only One Itetently -
Dr. Orr, deputy Minister of muni-
cipal affairs, said that only one
town in the province had been
granted the right to separate in a
long time. That was Riverside, he.
said, and there was no o11►ositlon
from the county.
"'There are only eight separated

burden of taxes would fall on the
farmers.'
"Ilespeler and other municipal-
ities are discontented because the
cities are paying only one-half mill
to the three and -a quarter hills
charged tp them," declared Mr.
McGibbon.
.`The remedy
but iu- legislation, he said, suggest-
ing that the suburban roud system
be wiped out and all roads put
into the county system. 13y dulgg
this the Government would bring
cities iu as partners with the towns
and other municipalities.
Dr. S, F. Leavine, former -Kitch-
ener meow r and member of the
legislature for Waterloo - North,
sold Kitchener didn't object 'to pay-
ing more and the city would be goad
to sit down and talk it over with
county ,otlicials.
Costs Up
J. W. .Schotiel, counsel for Iles -
peter, agreed separation perhaps
was • not the ultimate eure, but
claimed the town was not helped,
by county roads. From 1910 to
1950 the roads costs for Ilespeler
had jumped •from $1,898 to $10,304
for an increase of 5.11 per cent.
J. Fred - Edwards, P.C. member
for Perth, told the committee
towel was in the same position and
argued it would be a serious mis•
take to make any move which would
break down the county system.
Reeve Woods, of Preston, recalled
that two years ago he had told the
deputy minister of what ,he con-
sidered the injustices of the preseut
taxing system.
"The deputy admitted then there
would be „a 'flood of applications
fo,r separation like --Hespeler's if
some remedy was not found to
right the injustices," continued the
reeve.
He is chairman of the organiza-
tion formed by lit centres, repre-
senting 300,000 people who are de-
manding relief .from the burden of
taxation for county roads.
He claimed the Government had
promised last 3 -ear to amend the
Highways Improvetneut Act to give
the relief sought.. It should he done
this year and ,lie urged the Gov-
ernment to act.

Really Clean Seed
Can Be Obtained
With Machinery
There (is quite, a difference in the
n1►pearanee of the average ti(e-yeaa•-
old boy before and after his bath.
And the same is true of seed as it
comes from the thresher and a fter
it goes through it modern processing
Want In both cases the principle
is the same: Bathing, like -steed
processing reroutes a lot of dirt.
Based on, actual tests, 10(1 lbs. of
thresher -run clover. -seed will prob-
ably shrink to 75 lbs. when put
through an ordinary fanning -mill;
the 25 lbs. removed consists cif
chaff, soil, and the coarsest Weed
seeds. But the 75 lbs. left is by
no pleats pure seed. It still con-
tains many weeds ineluditlg the
bad ones some of which ere classi=
fled as "noxious' 'alder the Seeds
Act. This is where the facilities of
" a modern processing plant. are put
to good use because weeds of the
same general weight, shape, and
size as the clover ,seed cannot, be
removed by the farm fanning -mill.
Machine Cheaper
Without modern machinery the
only way one could separate these
weeds from the good seed would be
to pick them ottt by hand ar(d this
would be quite a1 job. With a small
clover seed like alsike, for instance,
there are about 080,000 seeds to a
(pound And. with the larger - red
clover seed 272,000. 1n a pound of
hay or grass seed like timothy there
are no less than 1,134,000 • seeds..
It is certainly much quicker, better,
and cheaper to. turn this Business
over to a machine.
. The machines which do this work
are highly complicateed and expen-
sive, and they use n variety of pro-
eessen. For gu►nmy1, coated weed
seeds like ribgrass, the clover is
mixed with datnp sawdust which
collects the sticky weed seeds into
balls 'which are then ejected from
the screens. •Sometime, the clover
is mixed with iron dust which
souks to certain weeds, and then
electric magnets draw theta out.
Sometimes special funnels are em-
ployed which catch weed seeds of
slightly different shapes. In other
cnses the mixtures are soaked in
snide and the difference in specific
gravity of the clover and the weed
seeds pctrtnits separation.
It's. n pretty complicated business
this processing of pure, tested seed,
but it is vital work and the very
foundation of good fanning. Good
stands' of grass -et and clovers cannot
he pmdueed from dottlittnl nr In.
ferior seed but only from high grade
