|_ Noted Sleuth And His "Stooge" _ TrapUnwary Dental T echnician Loophole Councilior James â€" P. ~Bartleman lonstime critic of the manner in which the <bus transportation companiea: of the Porcupine : hgve operated, tossed somathing of bombshell ‘into the laps of his fellow counciliors at yesterâ€" day‘s meeting of the town fathers, when he proposed that a bylaw be prepared whereby bus fares ‘with n the town of Timmins be reduced "by ord»r of the town council. And when surprised councilliors questioned whether or not the town had legal authority: to etiforce reducâ€" tions, Councilior Bartleman cited a recent amendment in the Municipal Act which authorized council to do so. At his invitation, Clerk Victor Salomaa read this amendment aloud. In ‘addmon to the establi.hmem of free transters between‘ the â€" various runs in town, Mr. Bartleman proposes the following schedule of ~tariffs: Cash fares. 10 cents; four tickets for 25 cents; 20 tickets for $1; children, five tickets for 25 cents. "When the bus companies advertised reductions in fares last week,, the town of Timmins was completely sideâ€" tracked,": he declared, with considerâ€" able ‘heat. CGmparatively, the new rates established are all cockâ€"eyed." "We have power to control bus rates in Timmins, plus three miles outside of Timmins.
