Examination of the full text of thel Commission's report, recently releas-I ed from Ottawa, reveals that the re-f commendations regarding highway) transport are much more significant; than was indicated in initial news) despatches. Some suggestions are; made for further governmental con-5 trol of motor truck traffic, but the} existing status of the motor coach in! the passenger field is completely jus-',, tifield. i The Commission finds that the mo- tor coach is providing a satisfactory service of great social and economic value to the communities through which it operates; attributes the growth in its popularity to its greater convenience as compared 'with that of railway service, and declares that the effect of motor coach competition on railway passenger earnings has been relatively small when compared with that of the private motor car. The report also states that a free and unhampered use of all forms of transport which demonstrate their efficiency is esse"ntial to the general welfare, and asserts that the railways in their own interest should co-oper- ate with highway services rather than seek their restriction. T The section of the report dealing with taxation of the various types of road transport contradicts the theory that the motor coach uses a "subsidized" right of way, the Com- missioners finding that the coach pays a fair share of the cost of the highway over which it operates. After examining the evidence re- lating to the contention "that the mo- tor coach was now paying more than its proper share of the cost of high- way construction and maintenance", the Commission records its verdict as follows: Though in the case of the motor truck next to be dealt with, it would appear that there is room forr,stricter regulation and for increased taxation; in the case of thRi, motor coach there is little prospect that either by further taxation or increased regulation will the railroads benefit.- "There does not/seem therefore to be any necessityfzo recommend addi- tional taxation add regulation of mo- tor coach optratio'ns in the interest of the steam railways of Canada." t Figures-are quoted showing that the Gray Coach Lines in Ontario paid in 1931 highway- taxes of $640 per coach or at the rateof $14338 per annum for each mile of highway used which amounts, the Commission states are "at least a, fair contribution tor highway use and maintenance." _ Motor Coaches Develop New likely that the steam railways have already experienced the major effects of competition under this head, and the loss in this respect has not been so serious as is generally believed. A considerable portion of the traffic carried by motor coaches is new busi- ness which they have developed tor themselves and, Which would not go to the railways if motor co.ach services on the highways were .diSContinued. Some areas are served that thil rail- ways do not touch, x and the motor coach is also used by those who in de- fault of its services would use the pri- vate motor car rather than. the" steam railway." . "In fairness to the road vehicle, it should be stated that the diversion of traffic from the railways to the high- ways is in many cases due to the fact that conveyance by mad is intrinsical- ly a more suitable form of transport, either because the convenience afford- ed by the road vehicle outweighs oth- er considerations, or because it is de- finitely cheaper. j oved “Development of mot ansport", continues the rought about a lasting r 1e travel habits of the pe ought about a lasting revolution in .e travel habits of the people, and in any respects has Wrought a trans- rmation in the economic and social ly of the country.

In our iview the true function of road trans- ;port, in such a co-ordinated system, :as auxiliary and complementary to l,the steam railways, would appear." should be imposed." Arbitrary Restrictions Not Warranted The Commission also condemns ar- bitrary restriction of highway traffic on the ground that even if it were at- tempted it would be effective only "to a relatively limited extent." The Commission also recommends the use of the motor coaches for the handling of light passenger traffic and discounts the usefulness of single unit gas-electric and storage battery rail cars in this field. "The capital ex- penditure for these unit cars is out of all proportion to that of the motor coach, and costs of operation are greater. The motor coach could be used on the highway by the railways as a substitute for steam trains and for the purpose of giving -m0re fre quent service where the traffic is light." Concerning the taxation of high- way traffic in the broad sense, the Commission lays doarrfthe principle that "the amount of such taxation, in- cluding the tax on gasoline, should reflect a fair proportion of the cost of providing and maintaining highways," and adds: "A fair proportion would, in our opinion, be equivalent to two- thirds of the total cost in respect of highways in urban areas, while in the more undeveloped districts the propor- tion might be increased. As to the distribution over the various types of vehicles, it is suggested that the scales of taxation should be so adjusted as to fall with greater severity upon the heavy long distance tratfie." Hon. Leopold Macaulay declared that-tpe department of public high- ways "t1as pride in' the work the de- partment supervised and which the contractors and material men accom- plished. He stated that the highway had been built with two ideas in mind first, because the department knew they could get better value than ever before because of economic conditions, and second, to afford employment. (Continued from Page 1) Mark Vaughan, M.L.A. for Welland, Ill introducing the minister of high- ways, declared that the famed Appian Way in Rome was nothing in com- parison with the 20 highway. He commented on the fact that the jOb cost $21,000 a mile, which was fully 30 per cent less than the work could have been done a few years ago. He complimented the contractors and supply people in playing the game, stating that they had replenished their warehouses after the construction of tt of the ter va tory‘of the Niagara Peninsula .as road from Toronto to Hamilton p1 ed in the life of Ontario. The speaker deplored the attitude of the defeatists who are always ready to criticise everything that is offered. He reminded his-hearers that it was not the faint-hearted or weak-hearted or weak-kneed that won the battle, that we always came out of a depress- sion, and reached greater heights and that the time for the greatest cour- age was just at the turning point. There is no one, he said, but who should have courage and faith in the ultimate outcome. If we all pull to- gether, not only tor our own good, but also for the good of our country, there is no doubt that prosperity and happiness will return, not only to the ’Niagara District but to the _whole of Ontario. _ F ' The contractors engaged on the work were then presented to the gathering, following which the chairman intro- duced Controller Sam Manson of Ham- ilton', and later Mayor Charles Sway- ze of Niagara Falls, Ont.
