Local commuters at present are obliged to purchase 50-trip tickets in order to take advantage of suburban rates. The tickets are 800d for only one month, and the majority of commuters now work only a five day week and make but 40 trips a month. But now the board has ordered issuance of a new 40-trip ticket, according tol a CP Ottawa report, "at 10 per- cent less: than those now applying on 50-trip tickets." Thus, it seems apparent that an Oakville, five-days-a-week com- muter, who now pays 38 cents per day for a 50-tripper will be able to take 40 rides each month for only 34 cents a day. Those re- quiring 50-trip tickets, under the new order, would pay about 45 cents a day when the new sched- ule is announced. Some 75 percent of Oakville and Clarkson commuters are five- day weekerS, it is estimated by Magistrate Earl Hand, president of the Lakeshore Commuters Assn. He feels that the commut- ers will "save money and be well satisfied" if the 34-cent rate ap- plies. This eomment included the 50-trip ticket users, he said. "We agreed to a 15 per cent increase, whereas the railways asked for a, jump of more than 60 per cent in the Oakville rate," he explained. The transport board found that the commuter service was being operated at a loss, but refused to grant rates requested by the rail Ways on the ground _ that these were too high. Railway spokesmen in Toronto were unable to say When new rates would go into ef- fect. They stated no official an- nouncement would be made until their proposed new schedules have been ratified by the board. money In the fu- ROTARY DONAT MEMORIAL The Oakville; Trafalgar Memorial hos- pital was improved to the extent of $2,500 as the result of a brief ceremony at Monday evening's meeting of.

Mark Pollock was greeted with a single by the first Crow- land batter, saw the second man safe' as he tried unsuccessfully for a force out at second after tlelding a bunt, and then stood by unhappily as the third man belted one of his Sunday pitches for a single. Mark was at that time unaware of the fact that the boys from the fruit belt had swip- ed 'catcher Ray Patterson's sig- nals. so he was doubly irked when Podatsky, the clean-up hitter for the visitors, proved to be just that by smashing a terrific drive over or g D! others when entering the plant.

Further adjustments were made in land and building values on Pine Avenue east of Allan St. as values here were considered inequitable to each other. Contin- ued development of a commer- cial area in the two blocks facing Colborne St. lying between Rey- nolds and Allan Streets brought these land values into commercial rates which in turn affected bus- fness assessments in this area.' , "The Increase in the total as- sessments on buildings was due in the most part to the continued construction of all types of bulild- | ings," the commissioner notes.
