At a meeting Saturday night of the North Toronto ratepayers, a vigorous policy was determined upon. Among those present on invitation were Ex-Mayor Hiltz, Ald. Dr. Risk, Ex-Ald. Beamish, Ald. Carrick and Ald. Ramsden, all of whom gave the movement for radial improvements their approval and support. It is evident that even if a popu- lar vote has been forestalled for the present, candidates all over the city will be asked to declare themselves on the issue. In the meantime the interests of Suburban Yonge demand something more than “watchful waiting.” If a policy giving a larger promise than is to be found in T.T.C. control, is in sight it should be brought forward and vigorously pushed. suburban ronge cmzens are not primarily interested in Toronto’s de‘ ficits. They are interested in the establishment of a transportation system which will give them a greatly improved service at a cost much below that 'which they are now compelled to pay. That Hydro administration has failed dismally is everywhere conceded. No argument has been advanced to show that it can suceeed, with its burden of waste and duplication. ' North Toronto ratepayers, who are not accustomed to receiving from the Seats of the Mighty any services for which they do not fight, have re- cently investigated the question of radial operationsm report presented by a. special committee says: “The overhead of the two commissions was cemâ€" pared. The T.T.C., doing 16 times the business, was only about $30,000.00. The overhead of these city-owned radials, operated by the O.H.E.C., was over $50,000.00. The city cost of operating was 30c. per car track mile. The radial cost of operating was 440. per car track mile.” AIM' "In 5 notWithstgnHM- .i.â€"r~;u~l\ - Monda manipulations of th.- im‘ ~ l\ dug the Lenins Toronto City Hall.
