The figures for the month are of particular interest because, for the first time since radial cars were taken off in October, 1948, a com- parative statement of bus opera- tion for a whole month is available. Profits earned by the buses for the month amounted to $5,284.94 as compared to $1,085.99 for the same period last year, the state- ment given by the Toronto Transâ€" portation Commission to the own- ing municipalities, the townships of North York, Vaughan and Markham and the village of Rich- mond Hill reveals, Bus Profits Accumulate At Expense Of Patrons Who Pay But Stand Up Introduction of a twenty min- ute service to and from Toronto during evening rush hours has gone. a long way in creating a much needed improvement to the North Yonge bus schedule. But, according to regular users of the buses â€" the people who make the line's big profits poss- ible â€"- there is still considerable room for further improvement. A survey conducted recently by The Liberal indicates that there is much justice in their claims. Overcrowding of the buses dur- ing rush hours still continues, that survey indictes. For instance, on the bus leaving the city limits at 5.10 pm. on Friday, December 3} it was not until after the bus had left Steele’s Corners that the last passenger for points north was able to secure a seat. That bus left Toronto with fifteen pass- engers standing â€" a figure which was increased to twenty when Stop 8 was reached. T e 7.30 bus that same morn- ing xrom Richmond Hill had.eytj.;y seait occupied ‘ by the time‘ wit reached Stop 15. From there ad- ditional passengers stood 1m. 0n the 9 p.m, bus from Toron- to on that date a seat was not available for every paSSenger un- til the bus reached Stop 14A. On the 8 am. bus from Richmond Hill on the morning of Saturday, Jan- uary 7, passengers from Thornhill into Tbronto’ had to stand. And, on the bus from Toronto at 3 pm. on that day passensrers had to stand until they reached Stop 17, north of Thornhill. On the other side of the picture is the fact that buses during other periods of the day were running pra‘ctically empty for Dart of the trip. The 4.20 pm. bus 'from Richmond Hill on January 6 left Richmond Hill with 24 empty seats. At Stop 24 at Riéhvale there were 29 vacancies. That situation continued in a general way until the bus reached Lansin‘z, where six passengers were with- out seats. When the vehicle ‘Last Saturday afternoon Rich- mond Hill Midgets went .to New- market for their first game. New- market has made quite a change with its artificial ice. There was nev- ice for the game which was made while the players dressed. Each dressing room has showers. The first period opened up with Richmond Hill getting away to a bad start and showing badly their need of practice. At 7.25 in the first period Newmarket scored the first goal on a nice shot by Morton. At 8.49 Rich- mond Hill started'to pick up a little and Charles, who played a good game for the Hill, put a nice shot into the net to even the score. Newmarket retaliated three minutes later when West of Newmarket scored with Richmond Hill a man short in the penalty box. Don Watt of Richmond Hill scored the ting goal of the per- iod with ha] ‘a minute left to go. There were three penalties in the period, two to Newmarket and one to Richmond Hill. It might be noted that Richmond Hill scor- ed two of their goals in the game when they were a man short. The second period caught the defence off guard in the opening seconds and Robinson of Newâ€" market scored a nice goal. In the next face off Murchison 0f the Hill Went down into the cor- ner and shot from an impossible angle at the goal and the puck was deflected 06 the goalies’ skate Richmond Hill Midgets Defeat Newmarket 7-3 By Harold Mills The number of passengers car- ried jumped from 233,406 in Nov- ember. 1948, to 280,781 in Novem- ber, 1949. Passenger revenue for the month showed an increase of 15.6 per cent over November 1948. In the latter month it, was $20,375.18 whereas November, 1949, revenue amounted to $23,552.82. Figures for the first eleven months of 1949 show a similar trend. Over half a million more revenue passengers were carried than in the same period of 1948, the total being 2,856,194. Profits for the first eleven months of 1948 were'$18,709.74 whereas 1949 op- eration for the same period amounted to $53,398.95. During- the year $11,289.79 was paid out for maintenance of the old tracks and the Willowdale sub-station, pending a tax-payers’ decision as to the future of the system, leav- ing a net profit of $42,109.16. reached the city limits there were fifteen standees, The 1020 bus from Richmond Hill to Toronto on tha't day pre- sented a somewhat similar picture_ With only eight seats filled when it left Richmond Hill, it arrived with twenty-seven standing. Leav- ing Toronto at 11.10 a.m. on the same day that bus had some empty seats all the way to Richmond Hill. Passengers Resenlful A few minutes standing in line at the City Limits terminal is sufâ€" ficient to indicate the temper of the passengers who pay full fare for their trip but who do not seâ€" cure the seat they pay for. Re- sentment is openly expressed. It has been emphasized in the last few days since the new enclosure has been built at that point‘. Lee to believe, by a statement made by a municipal officer, that an en- closure would be provided without charge to the municipalities which own the bus line, patrons are op- gnlymscornful of the way in which, 0 quote the words of one of them, they have “been deceived." .The new enclosure only takes in part of the station, passengers for norther points st.1l having to line up in the open. The situation, they say, has been made worse rather than better as the erection of the enclosure has created a fun- nel through which the wind whist- les with extra violence. Resentment is being expressed too over the fact that the over- crowding‘ of the busses creates a hazard to safety. It is not un- common, passengers report, for the bus diver to have to ask them if the road is clear on the right, as he cannot see because of the fact that bus patrons are packed in around the door, obstructing his vision. “And here we have, every day, car drivers being summoned to court if they overcrowd the front seat of their car so that the driver cannot see out,” said one passenger bitterly. , to make another score for the Hill. A few minutes later White of the Hill scored on a pass from Watt. This made the score 4-3 at the end of the second period. it might be noticed that Richmond Hill started to look more like a. team after they got warmed up and started working together. In the third period it was Rich- mond Hill all the way, looking like a rea‘l team except for the players bunching together too much. Charles scored again from Murchison and Murchison scored on a pass from Charles, and with three minutes left Lloyd Grain- ger, who played a nice game, scored to make the final score 7-3.

Asked For Hockey Club Council Aid Asking for support of the coun- cil to bring hockey in Richmond Hill back to its old place in the World of sport Harold Mills, sec- retaryâ€"treasurer of the Richmond Hill Midget team appeared before the village council at its first meeting of the year. He em- phasized that the time allotted to his team did not allow sufficient practice and said that it was im- possible to deve10p senior players unless the younger boys could be started off properly. He also pointed out that Richmond Hill, without artificial ice, could not hope to hold the older players who were, at the present time, playing for other municipalities, Councillor Cec. Mabley pointed out that he had_ at various times in the past called meetings in or- de‘: to create a better situation but had met with little response. Councillor Wes Middleton, Floyd Perkins and others stated their emphatic support of the hoekey- ists, with Reeve J. A. Greene promising that the village council would do everything,P in its power to sunport those who were taking an interest therein.
