COUNT OF VEHICLES In Compliance With Highway Commis: sioner’s Instructions. In compliance with instructions from State Highway Commissioner Macdon- ald, a three days’' count of vehicles pessing over the highway between Dayviile and Attawaugan has been { completed. The resulting figures are uite surprising. A man stationed at the Attawaugan bridge from 7 a. m. to p. m. recorded 379 the first day, 307 the second day and 420 the third day. The count was kept to determine the amount of traffic there. While the figures are larger than those familiar with the route would imagine, they are probably not nearly as large as they would be in the warmer periods of the year, when there is much travel for pleasure. Many of the vehicles counted were automobiles. Eighty Per Cent, in Fraternal Organ- izations.
