ftrfiyr f7X readers I The LOCAL BUS On behalf of some Hundreds of people in this town and especially the old people I should like to make an appeal through the medium of your paper to our council for a re consideration of their treatment of the question of the altered bus my mind and to the minds of the hundreds of ratepayers for whom I am appealing there is neither sense nor logic in the way the council treated this sub ject Let one consider the facts in the light of at least a little sanity and what is apparent In the first place the council gives to a firm of bus owners a franchise and for a long terra This means that they give this firm assured freedom from all competition for a long time Thereupon the bus service starts and is much appreciated by the people of all parts of the town which it served But shortly the bus owners find what they should have fully known before they asked for their franchise namely that some parts of the town are not so solidly built up as others and consequently the passengers in these parts are not so numerous as in the more solidly built por tions Thereupon the bus owners go to the council and ask that they shall be permitted to serve the best paying portion of the and leave the poorer paying without service To the amazement of everybody outside the council the council agrees to this ridiculous request Let one consider a parallel case and see how absurd illogical if not actually illegal such a decision is- Let us sup pose the council should give a firm supplying milk or bread a- franchise protecting against all competition Such firm then discovers that to ply the residents of the outlying portion of the town does not pay AURORA COUNCIL and Councillors Murray and Tucker TOWN PLANNING Councillors Tucker Jones and King POLICE Mayor

the night of August and on November a meeting of interested parties was held in the council chambers presided over by a representative from the On tario municipal board After hearing the views of property- owners the bylav was frozen by the board for a period of six months- By their action on Mon day Jan the new council has arranged for the rescinding of the obnoxious bylaw Thus it happened

Anna Lewis it has been Ss well as to serve only the on January than we have heard central portion him for many a day It Suppose further they present this fact to the council and the council permits them cut oft all service of bread and milk could be that he was reacting to a more council atmo sphere than that which he has experienced for some time He all service pi pc m good points in con- to the outskirts Since lhe franchise any firm from delivering the people in the outskirts of the town have to trudge through snow artdfatt to the central portion of the town for their supply- In other words the holders of tf fran chise are allowed to make more money at the of residents I submit this is fair compari son of facts and reveals how wrong the decision of- the coun cil was in granting the change of routes The bus owners applied for the franchise It was a business deal not a philanthropic action They secured their protection against all competition before they launched upon the business Now having secured the they should not be per mitted to confine their routes to those portions which pay best All business men have to take the lean with the fat Bus should not be made ex ceptions to that rule feel sure such is the opinion of a majority of the ratepayers and if the council allows the present dis service to continue they vil be acting contrary to the desire the people who elected therh How about asking the people Tax Payer Newmarket RETAIL PRICE FIXING The He your editorial about the government action against retail price fixing in the January issue The Federation of Agriculture agrees with the government that the action was necessary The Federation understands the dan ger to small businesses as sug gested in your editorial we have many young people on farms which could he classed as small businesses These young people have farms and con tracted for farm machinery when agriculture prices were high Why should these small farm businesses have to sell on on open and competitive market when they must buy on a closed or controlled market The Federation has been of condemning retail price fixing when our farm Is considered by ns price fixing too The mar keting act only gives farmer the right to collective selling The farmers Income compar ed to cost of production taking in wages interest depreciation etc shows that the farmers are not receiving the cost of produc tion Why shouldnt the farm business receive the cost of pro duction plus a profit the same as in other businesses We are told that the inefficiency of the farmer holds up the cost of suggesting that there was a heed for a town manager a matter which he referred to at the inaugural morning meet- We are not quite sure whether the reeve had in mind the ap pointing of an outsider who would carry out this work or whether someone already on the town payroll could Iks elevated to an overall authority to define the duties of municipal em ployees and see that such duties were fully carried out In
