Wilson, Esq., Editor of The Times & Guide, Dear Sire- In his letter published in a recent issue of your paper, Dr. Irwin criti- eites the writer as Town Solicitor. Please permit me to reply. Neceysar- ily this involves a review of our trans- portation problem and the presenta- tion of the case for improved subur- ban service. Dr. Irwin apparently approves of my free advice to the bus-owners to c.all. Toronto's bluff and carry em- ployees of West Toronto factories as far as St. Clair Avenue for a single fare, thus checking the increase in va- cant houses in this district. He oh- jects to them carrying shoppers to Dundas Street. I regret the develop- ment as much as does the Doctor, and sincerely wish early success to our Progressive Business Men's Association in their efforts'to induce more shop- pers to save time and money by buy- ing in Weston. I regret that my views ont Weston Road transportation, as expressed in newspaper interviews, do not please the Doctor, but I consider it to be my right and duty to warn the ratepayers to Co carefully in asimming a debenture debt of probably half a million dollars for double-tracking, widening and paving the Weston Road. The younger men and women of Wefton, especially, should study the question as it is they ‘who will pay most of the loss if a mistake- is made now. The motor- bus is strenuously challenging the street car as a public» vehicle of highway transportation and cannot longer be ignored in a serious consideration of our transportation problem. I doubt the Doctor's statement' that some American cities, after replacing their street car lines by the bus-systems, la- ter returned to street cars. In any event, it is not what they have done, but what they are doing now and will do in the next few years that is im- portant. My information is that the trend is all towards the bus as the so- l-uition of highway transportation. But, irather than, depend on hearsay," would prefer to enjoy the Doetor's company investigating American cities, rat our own expense with a view to an in- iUiirgeni conclusidh lulu v. .. V.” I " - inence the carrying out of bis promise of high-speed radial transportation, it will be necessary for Weston to decide very soon whether or not we will let ‘slip this opportunity to carry into ef- ‘fect what for many years has been ”he settled poliey of Weston-the ob- ltaining‘ of an adequate and efficient I suburban service. _ ...,. ___. H.“ than”; +n Dr. Irwin's reference to “public ownership" was unnecessary, I have publicly stated that I prefer that the transportation system oh the Wesfon Road, whether bus 01' street car, be 'publiély owned. I have been an ar- dent admirer and supporter of Sir Adam Beck since student days, twen- ty years ago, and have always stood . “ .

I wish he would go one step farther in an endeavor to have Sir Henry Thorn- ton carry out, as far as Weston is Concerned, his promise (made when Sir Adam Beek's Hydro Radial scheme was defeated in, December, 1922) to construct and operate a modern radial service in and around Toronto. I desire' to)e-asfmre the Doctor-by stating that our rights under the tran- chise agreement between Weston and the Toronto Suburban have not been allowed to lapse, In interviews with The Canadian National representatives. in correspondence between them and the Mayor and in ourreprepenta1ioris to The Minister (if-Railways. we have always kept strongly to the fore our claim to be carried for five cents to and from Keele and Dundas Streets, If Sir Henry Thornton, in consider- ation of reasonable coneessions-on the part of Weston, is prepared to com- ., _ _..,-.,.-,',,,,. mu- n? his nromise SllUutuan a». ..-v. The Doctor criticizes our failure to get complete results in one year and impatiently advocates the abandonment of the slight improvement in suburban service we have accomplished by the operation of the battery car in com- bination with some of the steam trains. He must know that we cannot expect an adequate high-speed radial service until after. the construction of the via- duct and the opening of the new Un- ion Station. Even the Guelph Radial is to be taken only as far as Parkdale, for .the present, so that he should give the Mayor and Council credit for hav- ing obtained for Weston at least a temporary advantage over Islington by .our present very limited service to the old Union Station. How unfair and misleading (no doubt unintentionally) is his description of the battery-ear lservice will be apparent to the Doctor 1if he examines' the tirne-tible for im- proved sriliurban service recently sub- mitted by the council to Sir Henry Thornton . - - ' -h.g.s.s rl,.,' clan! is to be taken only for .the present, so the Mayor and C01 mg obtained for temporary advanta Bin- present very li an adequate high-s until after the cons duct and the openr ion Station. Even 'I'hosmum . To support his contention that slow highway service is good enough for Weston, the Doctor quotes figures that. are of no assistance. I-Iis figurs of 6400 Weston riders does not agree with. the count of the Toronto Transporta-' tion Commission officials. In May, 1924, the Toronto Transportation Com- vmissi'on're'port to York Township show- ed traffic originating north of St. John's Road as 1,138,500 rides per year (3110 ridesper day). As almost ev- ery rider makes a return trip, we have between 1500 and 1600 riders per day from Weston, Etobicoke, North York, Vaughan and woddbridge. If we knew what proportion of these were Weston residents we would know how well Dr. Irwin can multiply. Then how many of these make a return trip daily? If proper consideration is given by Dr. Irwin to the convenience of those Weston residents who travel twice daily the year round to .and from lwork as distinguished from the oc(?'aS- iional riders, many of whom are going ghopping to Toronto, it will be hard or the ‘Doctor to beat the grand total of approximately 126,00“ rides per year Iliy 31ml Contetuptihle Minority he so murh (lespises.

A nan important factor in the pro- po:sed improvement of suburban service is entirely lost sight of by Dr. Irwin. The "Mruovity" who make the return trip to Toronto daily to earn the mon- ey they spend in Main Street stores are being' asked by our Town Council to agree lo an increase in their fares s:ufrwienf lo enable a reduction in the lure for occasional riders to a figure as near as possible to the present dou- hle street car fare in order to extend to the Doctor's "Majority" the boon of a mode of travel, the superfor com- fort and speed of which is well known to all who have used it. LETTERS Ti) EDITOR The present battery car service in Weston, March 24th, 1925 retaining iiresehCr1iisi"dieiits and assist- ing Weston' to compete with other su- buFbs for new ones, has been " very teal factor in prevehting a greater slump in property values throughout the town. When our battery car was put on, it was heralded by Toronto newspapers as the beginning of Sir Henry Thorn- ton's radial system for Toronto's su- burbs. If it is taken off, Weston will be held up to the whole Province as a, horrible example of Sir Henry Tho,rn- ton's broken promises. Depriving Weston of such fast Ser- vice as it has and thus depreciating its attraction as a Suburb would render our homes less saleable and less Penh- able and, therefore, less valuable. Such destruction of residental property val- ues would inevitably react against busi- ness property values and the Doctor would find that neither "insulting" bus- es nor the little red cars would pre- vent the drop in /Main Street real es- tate. Mount Dennis grew very rapidly for some years and should not be discour- aged by its present slower growth. It will "come back,” but the expenditure of half a million dollars for two miles of double-track and the operation of one-man street cars marked T.T.C. will not boom it". 'Even the Doctor Cannot make these three letters work magic so that by gazing upon them or repeating them backwards a pas- senger will forget that he is changing cars and paying an extra fare at North- lands to get to his work and while strap-hanging in the trush-hour imagine he is comfortably seated in one of the big: red Yonge Street chariots. York Township, having blocked this scheme (which, by the way, would have, been financed entirely by our dear old Dominion of Canada) is now asking for legislation to force Weston into a much more costly scheme on terms to be dictated by York Township. The Doctor might better reserve his sympathy towards Mount Dennis far possible future use and in the mer-trj- time reflect on the causes of municipal bankruptcy past and present. _ The Doctor seems oorwerned about Mount Dennis. But we should appreciate small men cies, and thank' the Doctor for hold- ing out to us the hope of fulure radial service for Weston. In his first let- ter---in the Times and Guide-he with- held this from us but prompted by a generous impulse dater, he chose the columns of The Telegram to assure us that "It is in the interests of Weston to have all the transportation aCC'oln- modation we can get, but I am very certain that it is street cars first, and ‘wliatevrer we can get afterward.” ', From this it would appear that the Doctor desires to prevent us from Solving our transportation problem as a whole, but 'this view is at variance with the lopinion'nf no less an expert than Mir." Autiiterfurd, vias-president of the Canadian National Railways, who - _ A .. x -ly The Doctor holds out the bait of annexation to Toronto, when he must know that Toronto would never ex- tend the seven-cent fare, which hardly pays now. Nor will Toronto voluntar- ily, either permit a Weston Road ro- dial-lint to enter, or operate one it- self over Toronto streets to the m'ly centre. If the. T.T.C. can tie up Weston Road for 21 years at the ex- pense of Mount Dennis and Wesslon, the only advantage thot-Mount Dennis or Weston could offer Toronto as an inducement-control of this important highway entrance to Toronto-is lost. _The Doctor has the “radial” idea alright for he says, "The City allows no radials to enter, so that Northlnnds is our limit” He forgets to give the Mayor and Council credit for arming!) ing with the Canadian National to di- vat the Toronto Suburban from the Weston Road to a private right of way just outside the city limits and thus .l-~'~ 'r"""'"' . carry us to St. Clair Avenue for a single fare. Lll'v VulluuA»... -i.._.“,, - made a thorough investigation and, hf- ter careful consideration, proposed a scheme providing for both local and through traffic. If we let our radial problem stand for solution until we get the Doctor an efficient bus service or possibly his beloved street cars on the Weston Road, it may be too late to get, or provide-for getting, what we need and will need in the way of high-speed service to downtown Toron- to.' V _ None of us likes to picture Weston as a small side-show in the "Greater Toronto" suburban exhibition - with Oakville, Port Credit and Islington as the big Western attractions. L..- ".1, ..-____,, Therefore, permit me, through you, to ask Dr. Irwin for his present (not future) assistance in solving the dif- ficult problem of radial and local ser- vice for Weston. The old motto is still a good one, "United we stand! Divided we fall!" If by reason of the Doctor's great influence we fall now, we younger men and. women must fight on with the same enthusiasm and sincerity as an abled the Doctor to do so much for Weston in former days. h thvAA AWA -V..4.-, " The New York Sul1urbaniie tells you he lives "Thirty minutes from Broad- way."
