The Board did not wholly
support the stand of Hugh. A.
Crothers of Toronto who would
like to have a non-partisan bill
introduced to correct inconsist-
encies in the Highway Traffic Act
which does not require flashing
lights on school buses and traffic
halted when school buses are
loading or discharging students in
areas where speed limits are 35
miles per hour or less.
When replying to Mr. Cro-
thers' letter the Board will
include the statement of Trustee
John Broadfoot of R.R. 1,
Brucefield, that ina 30-mile zone
there are areas where buses can
get off the traffic lanes to load or
discharge students where it will
not interfere with the flow of
traffic. Mr. Broadfoot also
pointed out that in. 30-mile zones
there are often four lanes of
traffic and the frustration of•
drivers getting to work in the
morning rush-hour with school
buses bringing all traffic to a
standstill. Mr. Hill stated there
are two sides to the question of
safety and expressed the general
concern for the safety of students
and, the general concern for
traffic.
Authorization was given to R.L.

Manager for the Board, and
