J CORRESl'ONDENCE The Editor, West Vsn News, Dear Sir~metime ln the near future we shall be called upon to vote on a by-law re our bus transportation. I should like to put before the ratepayers a few points in connection with this matter. )Ve were informed that on the completion of Marine Drive and Capilano Bridge that the fares would be revised on the Pacilic Stages to conform with the old P.G.E. agreement. P.G.E. fares were 60 rides West Bay to North Vancouver $4.60--Pacific Stages now charge 20 rides $2.60, mak- ing an increase of 8+c per ride; this Is just an instance as other paris have increased according- ly. Also we have less stages run- ning and a very poor schedule, as will be observed by the time table. Our proposal put before the last Transportation meeting of the Council was that they buy 2 or 3 new buses, 43 seating cap- acity and use old buses for rush hour traffic and extend system to Whyteclitf, allowing those res. idents to receive transportation as we do. Fares could be adjust- ed so that system would pay for new buses. First class buses would be bought for $12,000 or less and not $15,000 snd over as so many seem to think. We old timers who have built up the present system fail to see why we should give away our system to the Pacific Stages for nothing and an increased rate when they paid $20,000 for the old stage lines. As Marine Drive is a Primary Highway sooner or later the stage line will come under the Highway Act, and then see where your fares will go. In fiir. Steven's letter of July 18th News he states "we are the unconscious victims of 2 or 8 obstructionists" which I take to be Councillors Garthorne, Jack- men and Morgan. If Mr. Stev- ens attended the council meet- ings I am sure he would flnd these gentlemen very fair mind- ed and of sound judgment. The Ratepayers may rest assured that their interests will be well looked after and nothing will be slipped over, and this is what we need right now. As this subject is of vital im- portance to all of West Vancou- ver the writer would like to get in touch with other Ratepayers who are in favor of an open meet. ing of all parties concerned to thoroughly discuss the issue. Thanking you in advance for publishing this letter, I remain Yours truly, G. N. CAVE. I lent my money to my friends, My money's lost--so friendship ends. ANNOUNCEMENT VANCOUVER CREOSOTING Corp LTD.

Dear Mr. Editor: The fact that our ferries and municipal buses are operating at a loss, and our Councillors are meditating the transfer of the passenger carrying to the Pacific Stages, ls very disquieting. Per- mit me to oifer the following suggestions, which in my opinion will turn the deficit into a sur- plus. (1) Cut out the twenty min- ute service, and run on the half hour. This service benefits a very limited number, and entails a large unnecessary expenditure. Further, since the bridge over the Second Narrows has been re- 'pened,the number who use the ferry system has fallen oif, and the boats and buses can easily handle the number who travel on the half hour, any time of the day, 51ay I say, I travel on the 5:20, 6:40 and six o'lock boats, and apart from the 6:20, the number who travel is small, and one bus handles the traffic easily. One evening, the No. 6 was held up through engine troubk and we did not get sway until half past five. The people were crowding on until the boat pulled out, but the buses were not overcrowded nor was the boat. (2) Readjust the ferry bus rates as follows: Five cent cash fare as at present; 12 commuta- tion tickets for 50 cents to be used on any part of the district covered by the buses; 17 school tickets as at present for 50 cents. Further the hikers should not be sold commutation tickets. (3) When the bus that oper- ates on the upper levels, is not in requisition, put it on the run to West Bay. It costs less to operate, is easier to ride in, and will easily handle the num- ber who travel during those hours. (4) Make use of the Sonrisa only in emergency cases. It is all right when the weather is such we can sit onthe deck, but when cold or wet and we are condemned to sit in the hold, I for one feel like travelling by North Vancouver. Give the prop- er service every half houri do not condemn us to travel on the Sonrisa, where the vibrations are such, one wonders if he is taking the ague; have the bus go through to West Bay, every half hour, (the bus that meets the boat at half past five, goes only to 29th) make the rates as suggested, and we will not hear of deficits but of a surplus every quarter. May I say in conclusion in view of the continued growth of our municipality, it would be 3 de- cided mistake to hand over our traffic system to a private comp- any, and thus give them a mon- opoly. We know from past ex- perience at least some of us, what monopolistic systems mean Would add make the cash fare on the boats 15c return, 26c. If necessary raise the rates for commutation tickets, which to my mind, is not necessary. Thanking you for the space. Yours sincerely, W. G. W. FORTUNE.
