RADIAL SERVICE THREATENED BY “BUS OCTOPUS” OPERATING UNDER PERMIT FROM MINISTER OF HIGHWAYS The greatest danger to the continuous operation of the Metropolitan radial is the apparent mania for “BUSSES” which has taken a grip on at least a certain section of those who for the present at least control transportation on Yonge Street. Radial cars have been cut off the service and buss- es substituted at certain intervals of the day. The bus fares are so high as be almost prohibitive and their oper- ation if continued will be a real detriment to the proper growth and development of the North Yonge Street district. The busses operate under a permit from the Minister of Highways and although it was reported some time ago that Hon. George S. Henry said that he “might have someâ€" thing to say about the operation of these busses on Yonge Street,” so far as we know he has not said anything yet. The Minister of Highways represented East York in the Onâ€" tario Legislature in the last parliament and is again aspir- ing to that'honor. The wishes on his constituents that the‘ radials be given a fair chance to operate and develop with- out the unpopular competition of busses has apparently not been considered by the Minister in granting the T.T.C. a permit to operate busses parallel with a radial service. , _ L.‘ -f- _LA..-. Lunun Since its abandonment was first hinted the York Coun- ty Transportation Committee has been active and the deter- mination has been expressed to exert every possible means to retain the radials. Engineer Redfern who was appoint- ed to make a report on the line has made an exhaustive study of the whole situation and his report reflects a care- ful investigation and his findings and opinions coincide with the general feeling of the great majority of those residents in the district served by the line. v; uuv Vv v The radials give the people a more satisfactory trans- portation service at a lower cost than busses and in the face Of these consitions the people’s representative in the Legis- lature as Minister of Highways grants a permit for the op- eration of busses on Yonge Street. The people’s interests would have been better served by the Minister of Highways if he had refused to grant a permit for the operation of busâ€" ses on Yonge Street when the district was already served by The radial line serving as it does, approximately twenâ€" ty thousand people is a valuable asset of York County, and the continuance of its operation and the development of a better service is of utmost concern to the residents of the municipalities served. In this issue we publish the Redfern Radial report and we commend it for the careful attention of all our readers. It is a comprehensive and exhaustive report concerning this vitally important transportation system which extends through the heart of York County from the City of Toronto to Lake Simcoe. a radial line. SIDEWALKS ON YONGE STREET The construction of sidewalks on Yonge Street has been delayed at the cost of life and property during recent years by the folly of the policy of the Department of Highways that the work must be done by the townships through whi- ch the provincial road runs. The folly and inadequacy of the policy is proven by the delay in the work in this district despite the insistent demand of the people through the press, ratepayers associations and every other medium through which the people’s wishes can be made known. Al- so in the face of admissions of the necessity of their con- struction by all township councils and officials concerned. ,7 #___ ~A‘vmm“77f‘m1’f\‘Y DUL uuvnuu “J on. u.. .- VVV. . _ . _ _ _ . , , , , , THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF SIDEWALKS ON PROVINCIAL HIGHWAYS SHOULD REST WITH THE SAME DEPARTMENT WHICH CON- STRUCTS THE ROAD. The Department of Highways constructs the paved roads for the motor cars to travel on but takes no thought for the pedestrian who is left to his fate and who to escape injury and poSsible death must scramble in the ditch over culverts and embankments like a scared rabbit every time a motor car looms on the horizon. fl _1_4..L ouuluu Luv” The Department of Highways allows a grant of about one third of the cost of construction of sidewalks approved by department engineers. THIS POLICY HAS PROVEN A FAILURE and should be changed. Hon. G. S. Henry, who represented East York in the Legislature in the last parliament was largely responsible for the policy of the De- partment of Highways. He should explain to his constit- uents why the Ferguson administration whose praises are so loudly sounded has spent millions of the peoples money for provincial roads but is so indifferent to the lives and property of all, both motorists and pedestrians who use those highways as to have no adequate policy for the con- struction of sidewalks. > no an; um UAIV u.vv-v-~ - cerned there are a great many more issues in this election than “Booze.” The taxation for roads is a big item in this county and the thought has long been uppermost in the minds of municipal legislators that the time had come for the Province to shoulder the whole burden of provincial roads. The province has collected millions from gas tax, motor licenses and permits, as well as scores of other sourc- L L‘_'f_ gy--.~...-- _. 7, g g serv'iceitfie people want. licenses and permits, as well as scores of other sourc- es of revenue and should be willing to accept this responsi- bility from the taxpayers of the small municipality who are now everburdened. ..L.-. The Redfern Radial Report leaves no uouUL m Luc uuuua of the people that Radials provide a safer, cheaper and more reliable transportatign that} busses and that is just the kind We are informed that if Ferguson is returned to pow- er he along with Attorney General Price plan to make it an offence punishable by a jail sentence to throw “whiskey empties” on the roadside. “Dead Soldiers” have become quite a campaign issue. ¢¢***:k* By the end of this week probably all candidates for the three York ridings will be in the field and all parties are now settling down for a brisk four weeks campaign. jAGE TWO Established 1878 I AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY .
