URGES STRICTER -
PERMIT CHECK
Enquiring into the death of John
Franklin. Storey, . which occurred' fol-
lowing a highway crash west of here
on July 9th, a coroner's ,jury Mon-
day absolved Mrs. Grace Watson, the
driver of the car which struck
Storey's wagon, from "undue blame,"
but recommended that the regulations
regarding the granting of driver's per-
mits be made more stringent.
The verdict was as follows:
"We, the jury empanelled and
sworn to weigh the evidence given
and thereby determine and decide the
cause of the.' death ofhn
Jo Storey,•
Seaforth, which occurred on the night
of July 9th, about. 9.15 p.m., two and
onehalf miles west of Seaforth on
No. 8 Highway, fined that it was due
to multiple fracture of the skull.
"This was caused by a car driven
eastward by Mrs. Grace Watson;
Goderich, 'forcing the vehicle forward
and tato the ditch with such force
that death was instantaneous, after
his head struck the ground close to
the fence on the south side of the
road.
"We do not consider that undue
blame should be attached to Mrs.
Watson, because she used sound
judgment...en prompt application of
the brakes, c ,
"Furthermore, we are 'firmly'af the
belief that if in accordance with the
law,. Mr. Storey had a light attached
to the wagon the accident would not
have happened.
"In our opinion more stringent tests
should be miade and enforced with the
granting of licenses to prospective
drivers, especially is :this applicable
to speed and eyesight tests. We are
further of the opinion that a legal
speed -of 50 miles per ,hour at eight
is beyond the limit of safety for many
drivers and that it should be lowered
for night driving.''
The inquest, which was held in Sea -
forth Town Hall, lasted for, nearly
four hours, the jury deliberating for
55 minutes. Dr. F. -J. Burrows, Hur-
on coroner, presided.
Evidence brought out showed Storey
to have been driving on the right
side of the road towards Seaforth
when the wagon was Struck from be-
hind by a car driven by Mrs. Grace
Watson, Goderich.
Harry Stewart, Seaforth, was first
to give evidence. With his wife, he
was driving west when he ,heard a
crash and saw a car head for the
south ditch. He was not aware any-
thing had been struck until he drove
about 40 rods: and saw the wrecked
wagon.
John Buttler, of Clinton, and Frank
GleW drove by a few minutes later.
They described the car as they saw
it. Bustler stopped a car and told
the driver- to find a doctor.
Dr. E. A. McMaster described the
resi1lts of a .post mortem., He was
called to the accident and found
Storey with his head beside a large
tree. He was dead.
'Pictures of the accident, taken the.
night it happened and the following
morning, 'were identified by Harry
McLeod.
James Carter, who farms at the
scene of the accident, stated he was
sittingeoii his verandah about 40 rods
distant when he. heard the crash.
Wesley and Elmer Hugill, living
about one-half mile west ot the crash,
had seen Storey pass. their farm
shortly- before. At that time he was
westing beside the wagon, but Sam -
el Cudmore, Seaforth, who passed
Storey about 100 rods from where the
accident occurred, stated that at that
time he was on the wagon.
Mrs. Grace Watson, driver of the
car, was heard next. With her
mother she had been driving towards
Seaforth at a speed of 45 to 50 miles
per ,hour. "Something loomed up and
I jammed on my brakes. The wagon
was night in front of me when I first
saw it," she said.
Replying to a 'question by Crown
Attorney D. E. Holmes, Mrs.. Watson
admitted she made no effort to turn
out. •
Evidence of Traffic Officer J. W.
Callander indicated that the Storey
wagon was struck at the left rear
wheel. A tire mark about two feet
from the south side of the pavement
showed .the car to have skidded. 32
feet 9 inches on the pavement and
15 feet half on the shoulder to the
point where he believed the impact
took place.
Members of the jury were: H. Edge,
foreman; J. MacTavish, J. A. Case,
W. A. Wright, J. A. Westcott, M. Mc-
Leod, A. McGavin and John Cum-
mings. -

committee, in conjunction with town
officials, has arranged to have Chief
Constable Snell go on special duty,

So far Chief Snell is. only warning

more drastic actibii will have to be
taken.
Traffic is particularly heavy on No.

weeks motorists have complained of
