ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION Authorized as Second Class Mail by the Post Office Department, Otlawa A Good Time For Planning In a period of continued growth of our town Nigel Nixon struck a timely note in his address to the Kiwanis Club when he warned of the dangers of allowing fringe settlements to spring up in a haphazard fashion. Time was when there was nothing an organized aren could do about these fringe areas, bar extending their boun- daries and taking them into the fold of regulated construction --- a costly and not too permanent solution since new bound- aries merely invite the growth of another strip of poor quality homies on the other side of the newly established line. But, as Mr. Nixon pointed out, statutes on the books. now provide for a measure of control encompassing these areas. The Town Planning Act is not confined or restricted to organ- ized areas. A regional board can be established with the function of planning the future of these areas surrounding the town, which will one day become a part of the city we hope our village will someday eventually become. There is nothing to commend the present hap-hazard mushrooming of fringe areas here. It is true that they provide a means for those with a modest budget to pound together a few boards and come up with a shelter of sorts, but the obvious disadvantages of lack of control are plain to see. At the snoment these fringe areas are the ‘window dressing” of the community as far as visitors are concerned, and they must leave a decidedly poor impression. In the future, and we are assuming the town will continue growing, they become resi dential areas with along time elapsing before any presentable plan of street layout and conformity can result. Even in their present status of fringe settlements the Jack of control in these areas is not fair to a good section oi the people living there who have bought small plots of land and started construction of a home that is within their present budget and will eventually become well-finished structures Mhese people are doing their part individually, but next doo . ma rson may throw up the rudest of shac , surround- i several shanty-roofed sheds that start falling down ‘most as soon as they are up, and they must watch this with no recourse to complaint. “or the sake of the town as it stands: for the sake of the iliams Lake of 20 years from now, and for the sake of those persons now living in the fringe settlements who want to take a pride. in their neighborhood --- regional planning should be considered now. Common Sense Speed This paper has previously gone on record as favoring a a 60-mile per hour speed.limit on good highways of the province instead of 50 miles per hour that is now in effect. Public Works Minister (or Highways Minister) P. A. Gaglardi took the bull by the horns last week by announcing that he will recommend the speed limit on British Columbia highways be increased to 60 miles an hour on roads where such a speed is safe. This was greeted with mixed feelings and some have termed it a ‘dangerous move.” However. we call it a common sense move. Our highways are being built better and safer, and cars are being built better and safer. : On good roads very few drivers adhere to the 50 m.p.h. speed limit and police patrols usually give a small leeway. It is all right to say that the 50 m.p.h, limit acts as a psychological traffic cop and drivers will not go much more than 60 m.p.h. because of this, but the fact remains that drivers on good roads purr along at 60 or over, There is no reason to believe that traffic accidents will Suddenly increase when the speed limit is set and held --- at the speed most drivers are travelling anyway. ~-Kamloops Sentinel.
