FORM, Friday January 19th
A Long Suffering Public
We resume that the person or
mpany that rim's- the bus line be-
een—StratIord and Goclerich is
operating on a fran.ehise with. the
overnment, otherwise they would
'not be permitted to charge bus fares
fr transpbrting the general public.
It is likewise reasonable to pre-
sume that the franchite, under which
this line operates, contains some
clauses intended to. protect the rights
of the people who use this means of
transportation. However, it would
appear that this franchise is just a
one-way affair in which the public
has no rights whatsoever, and the
consideration given, to it is eve -11 less
than that.
The fares this company charge are
comparable to- those charged by the '
C.N.R; which 'paralells its run, but,
the accommodation with which the
bus' line provides its passengers is
lacking in every respect. As far as
Seaforth is concerned, there is no bus
depot where people can'get informa-
tion as to the bus schedules. And
what is still more important, no
place where prospective. passengers:
can waitlor-bus- arrivals:
With train travel limited and even
discouraged, the busses on this Strat-
• ford-Goderich line have been crowd-
ed for months. And during those
months it has been a common sight,
particularly on a Sunday, to see fif-
• teen or twenty people, including.chil-
•„dren, standing on the corner of Main
• Street in zero weather, or in' the
• doorwaysof stores, waiting for a bus
that may; or may not, appear within
an hour. ,
The same thing happens every day
of the week. And while storekeep-
• ers in the vicinity of the bus stop
• have been hosp4able and patient, the
operators of this bus line have a
colossal nerve to expect them to pro-
-. .vide free light, heat and information
• while the regular customers of these
stores are crowded out and business
is disrupted by a would-be travelling
public.
• There is another angle too, to the
• question of accommodation. Truck
drivers are prohibited from carrying
• passengers, but the accommodation
• which a truck cab would provide,
would be readily. acceptable compar-
ed to that provided on some of the
busses on this line. Recently a bus
that had broken down or become
stranded, was left for several day
• standing well out from the .curb on
the highway at the Main Street in-
tersection. So far out, and so near
the corner in fact, that it was a dis-
' "Una menace to traffiic. That is
• not an unusual occurrence either,
Stranded or relay busses are fre-
• gently left in the same or similar
' positions, and the Company seems to
think that the highways were built
and maintained for their sole accom-
inodation.
But that is not true, and it is time
the bus company was given to under-
•'• stand this. The town and the public
• have been long suffering, but it is
time that some authority brought the
Mit company down to earth.
•
Township Snow Plowing
A Tuckersmith ratepayer has
written a letter to The Expositor,
which - appears elsewhere in this is- -
sue of the paper. In it the ratepayer
has some caustic things to say about
• the way work of clearing the
township roads of snow is being car-
• ried out. Or, speaking more accur-
ately, perhaps we should say, the
Manner in which many of the roads
are left unplowed.
His contention, is, of courie, that
if all the ratepayers are taxed to pay
for snowplowing, then all the roads
the township, and not just a few,
hould 4 kept open. Arid, we think,
ef0 Y1PW is reasonable.

They are few, if any, private
trucks in any township of sufficient
weight. and power to drive , a plow
through the snow on township roads,
particularly during a winter like
the present. Po provide sufficient
weight to holcl it down, the average
be loaded down to or above their
capacity, consequently ' there is not
enough power to haul the• truck and
push the plow at the same time.
With a light or medium snow fall,
this equipment 'wilt, work, but when
it encounters deep ,snow, or heavily
drifted roads, it has to be forced to
capacity for long stretches, and as
there is always: a limit beyond which
a machine can not be forced, the re-
sult is something gives. And that
something is not the snowbank, but
some part of the mechanism of the
truck.
This necessitates a delay for re-
pairs, during which the weather man
whose power is unlimited, works his
on sweet will, with the result that
before the truck is in operation
again, all roads are more or lest com-
pletely blocked.
Consequently the townships will
have to make one of two decisions—
either to go back to the horse -and -
cutter clay and leave the roads alone
in winter, or spend .enough money to
purchase equipment with sufficient
weight and power, not only to keep
the roads open, but to keep the snow
pushed back well beyond the shoul-
ders of the roads.
Each method has a strong body of
supporters, but it does not take a
• great deal of foresight to see which
side will win the decision.- The pro-
vincial highways and county roads
will always be kept, open for motor
traffic the year round. The people on
or adjacent to these roads will, con-
sequently, have an advantage over
others less advantageously situated,
while the latter will be taxed- just as
much, as the former to provide this
• acemmnodation:•
Under these circumstances there
willrise a very insistent demand
that all be treated alike, and town-
• ships will have to provide snowplow-
ing equipment of their own that will
serve all the people. The initial ex-
pense will be heavy, but it is equip-
ment that can be used all the year
round on the roads, and .not just
serve the purpose of providing a
winter convenience.
IP
, Not Improving
Apparently Miss Agnes Macphail's
disposition; not always one of the
sweetest,. is not improving with the
years.
• Recently at North Bay, where she
• was billed to speak in an auditorium
with a seating capacity of nearly a
thousand, and only a handful turned
out to greet her, she wa,.s so provok-
• ed that she made use of some caustic
remarks, among them this,: "I ani
getting to a point where I am not
very much interested in using my
time and talents to talk to empty
• seats."
• Quite some years ago Miss Mac-
phail lost her temper on a platform
in Seaforth, and because The Expos-
• itor commented on the fact at the
time, We were favored with a.per-
sonal letter of hot rebuke. This al-
so drew comment in this paper, and
was followed by a second and even
• hotter letter. But after a second
comment the feud died out, and we
haven't heard from,Miss Macphail
since.
It is evident, however, that the
• years have not done much to improve
the lady's temper, or to reduce in any
way the estimate she holds of her
. own importance.
