Why One Subway? MAIL
AFTER what is felt
to be a seemingly
delayed action, Govern-
ment has announced
that it will accept tenders for the con- Struction of a pedestrian subway under Con- naught Road. Plans call for an elaborate subway which may well turn out to be a waste of Govern- ment's time and tax- payers' money.
Full credit for Govern- ment decision to build a subway is probably due to the Police Traffic Branch. They must be pretty satisfied that at least Home- Thing is being done at long last by the Public Works Department in ́easing their responsibility with regard to pedestrian and vehicular traflic.
