COMMENTS OF COtfNCILLOU RAY It gives me great pleasure to see that the operation of our new bus schedule will commence on March 3rd, after an unex­ pected and unavoidable delay caused by the late delivery of the Ford buses, said delay because of prevailing war conditions. No doubt our citizens will be very glad to receive this news and commence to enjoy their travel­ ling between the City of Vancou­ ver and our beautiful munici­ pality . in the new luxurious •buses.

Buses will leave West Bay at 6 :45 a.m. and every half hour until 8:45 a.m., from Ambleside 7 a.m. and every half hour, until 9 a.m., then hourly until 4 p.m. From 4 to 7 p.m. every half hour and 7 to 12 midnight every hour. From the City the half hour ser­ vice will start at 3:45 p.m. ̂ and continue until 6 ;45 p.m. and then every hour until 12:45 a.ni. (midnight). - The history of West Vancou­ ver Municipal Ferries and Bus System is well known to the old timers, but for the benefit of new residents it may be of interest to state that had it not been for the foresight of early adminis­ trators in establishing their own transportation system. West Vancouver could never have de­ veloped to the extent it had, be­ fore the building of J i r s t Nar- rpws-Bridfee.- ̂A- great-.deal_of.tM_ credit belongs to John Lawson and the late W. C. Thompson, who established the first ferry service in 1910, and in 1916 a bus servce between 25th Street^ and Ambleside wharf was started to take care of the growing popula­ tion a t Dundarave. The munici­ pal bus and ferry, system, from the first ferry with a comple­ ment of 30 passengers, andi a seven-passenger touring car, for a bus, gradually grew to an or­ ganization in 1938, ^ r ry in g Mg 037,000 passengers and a statt. of 40 employees. The building of First Narrows Bridge has brought about vast changees in the matter of trans^ portation between the City and; West Vancouver, and while there w a t i lF a large-number who-pre-j- fer to continue to use our fer­ ries, and we hope they will in­ crease with additional p^opula- tion, we 'also wish every success to the increase^ bus service. ̂ I.O.D.E.
