Stage Lines wish to set but their position in, further detail so that the: proposed $40; 000 by-law for the purchase; of new" itrunicipal,buses may bc: considered with; full knowledge and without prejudice., ' Pacific Stage-service, began in May, 19*26; from'Vancouver to Horseshoe Bay via the Second. Narrows Bridge on.the, completion of that bridge. Near the end of the same year, the; Provincial government abandoned the Pacific Great Eastern Rail­ way from North Vancouver to Horseshoe Bay and* requested us to augment 6ur bus service, to take the place of'tbs raitway service, which we did. When "&:Sec3nd;'Narrows Bridge was put out. of'commission wc continued* to-runj our buses between Horseshoe. Bay andVNdrtb Vancouver, connecting:; with the ferries, thcre,̂ ' O n the projectiono:Lthc First Narrows Bridge, it'was-obvious that these buses should run directly into Vancouver-' and' we therefore laid our plans for such a= service^before the Council of the Municipality many months before the bridge wasrdpe to open. ___________ ^ ^ _____1______ _______ :These :̂neg0-tiai30iKr7Tesulied..in. agreement asTo service and rates being reached between outselves and : the Council so that we began service over, the Lions Gate Bridge on its opening day, November 14, 1938. We contimied*to give^adequate connecting Wvicc to.North Vancouver. From 1926 until December, 1.939, . • Pacific Stage'Lines provided the only busa services betweeiL West Vancouver, and Vancouver, between West Vanepuver. andrNorth. Vancouver, and between Horseshoe Bay? and WestJBay. Om December 11, 1939, the Municipality started, a; competitive service over the Lions Gate Bridge. W edo n o r think that the intention, of the Municipality was to bring, about a reduction in our fares because we .had on.Septembcr22, 1939,: offered to reduce, the,commutatrojQ fa_r ̂be^een Vancouver, and, Amhleside from 15 cents to 1 3 ^ cents, but this ojffer was nor accepted; instead the'Municijpality inaugurated its own bus-service ar the 15 cent rate, * • "^Dufinj^fefeyearsVwe have.operatedlm We^~VancouverrwehavecntlcwoufecLfo^give therhiyiesrcl^- of service possible. 0 u r buses are the best obtainable anywhere and, in the'long run, the most economical to f main tain. Nothing* is spared to make travel in them* safe, comfortable and convenient. - From the" foregoing; we hope the. ratepayers of W ^t. Vancouver will realize, that, although a private concern; Pacific Stage Lines-are just as sincerely anxious:to give the-best.possible service for the fare received as any othcragcncy. i . > _May we-now-suhmit-a-summary ofi why inf their own interests the ratcp_ayers should vote agaipst:the_ -^us-rby-law?^^-- _ _ _ -- --------- :---- ................-...n r --------_ ---- -̂------------ ^ ' . T With a record of losses in its transportation senriceit every year' (but 19318) since* 1912, the.... Municipality is almost certain to incur a loss in' thie new bus serviiee. Municipal estimates of ! • profitsr are based on errors and therefore unreliable. 2 A loes-is. a'certainty when it is considered that tiie Muniqpality. will be dividing the present * decreasing: busine^ with the Pacific Stage Lines. » 3 * Losses on the bus line will mean increased taxes to property owners. ^ The proposed new Municipal service is only a duplication o f existing services and add ̂ nothing bo the: convenience of the public. S: The same.prbetter service can be obtained at the same fares from Pacific Stage Lines without - anyxbsrtotrtiotaxpayer. / I The purch^e of four new bilses ̂will be inadequate^tp match the present Pacific Stage Lines - service and in all probability the ratepayers will later be called upon to throw other large: sums after the "first $40^000. >7 %eais;tliar monopoly by a private company will: lead'to*abu^s are groundless because the PVoVinciarPublic Utilities Commission controls, a ll rates; schedules and-^service. 8* Monopoly under such con tro l Is more ap t to bring-:reduieed fares than is competition, which- Js wasteful, expensive and must be paid-for in-the long-run. .,^^si^gestrthati:the;people of West Vancouver set theory and prejudice aside and accept the present bus service-of Paafic Stage Lines as. controlled and regulated'by the Public Utilities Commission.
