Q THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdey, Merch 11, 1964 GOOD EVENING -- By JACKGEARIN -- WITH OAKAH JONES AT THE JAYCEES Oshawa's Jaycees 'are an enterprising group. There was another indication of this Monday night in the Hotel Genosha when they presented their annual 'Bosses and Products Nights," featuring Mr. Oakah L. Jones, the dynamic, hard-driving 56-year-old president of Consumers' Gas as guest speaker. , If there was one thing wrong with the program it was that the general public - was not invited to see the colorful displays of mer- chandise (which took a lot of planning). Mr. Jones ig the Boston Yankee who completely _re- juvenated the tired old Tor- onto Consumers' Gas Co. in something less than 10 years until it serviced more than half Ontario, He's an easy-to-meet, af- fable sort who knows how to get around and converse on a firstname basis; un- like many top executives, he WORLD seemed to have time for most every question. He _-- said Consumers' didn't have a public-relations department be- cause he felt it the duty of each employee to speak for the company. ("If we had a_ public relations director,\there would be a tendency to lean on him to do the whole job.") Charles World, retiring president of the Oshawa Cham- ber of Commerce, introduced Mr. Jones, who happens to be his boss. CHARLES NEW PUC BUSES TO BE 40 FEET LONG Talk about the changing face of King street .. . Firstly, those grotesque tracks were removed after 30 years of municipal wrangling, political football. Then the road and sidewaks were removed, ornate lighis installed, Now the PUC is getting ready for another innovation, just to show that Oshawa isn't standing still, insofar as spending goes. One of their two new super diesel buses will be introduced soon after April 1 on that key araffic artery which forms part of Highway No, 2 (the next thing they will have side- walk cafes). These new diesels -- known as GM's TDH . 5304 model-- are no less than 40 feet long. They carry 53 instead of 32 "passengers (capacity for the PUC's new gasoline fleet.) They will cost $33,500 each, the second to be delivered in September, but that's not the total cost. The yearly charges including principal and interest payments) will be $4,550 each so that the total cost for the two at the end of 10 years will be approximately $91,000. They should be fully utilized week-days at certain rush- hour peak periods; otherwise, this department is 'not too sure they won't become the largest uninhabited buses in Ontario at least. Because of their length, the two diesels will be used only on King and Simcoe (except for certain special occa- sions); for instance, they could not be used on the winding turns of the Apple Hill run. The PUC last December sold Courscil on the idea the two diesels were needed at a time when the annual deficits of its Bus Department were reaching astronomical propor- tions (1960---$19,646,! 1962--$35,415; .1963--more than $50,000, with an estimated deficit for 1965 of $70,000). Despite such mounting deficits, the PUC reporied "present rush-hour requirements have brought us to the point where it is necessary to consider the purchase of additional buses." The PUC finds it necessary to operate 21 buses at peak periods, plus the 10 percent spare factor, necessitates 23 buses -- three are the old Fitz-Johns, no longer classified as reliable. The PUC operates two 32-seaters together now on a number of routes to handle rush hour traffic ("This led to the thought of purchasing larger diesels for use when traffic conditions warrant,' said a PUC report). The 40-foot diesels will be operated on the regular day service, even between peak periods. They will run far below capacity most. of the day ('It wouldn't be cheaper to run them empty than it would be to run the smaller ones emp- ty," said a PUC spokesman, "but the saving on the smaller gasoline buses would be small." Briefly, here's why the PUC recommended purchase of the 40-foot diesels Lower maintenance of diesels as compared with gasoline buses (diesels go 500,000 miles without an overhaul, gasoline buses only 140,000). The 40-foot diesels would eliminate use of a second (bis at peak periods on certain routes ('The saving in operator's wages resulting from this would approximate $2,500 annually --this would offset the additional annual fixed charges of the larger buses:") Larger diesels approximately .66 cents per mile tore to operate than gasoline buses, however the PUC says: "Approximate distance travelled by a bus on either King or Simcoe street route in a year is 50,000 miles. Therefore, the added fuel cost for a diesel bus for one year wuld be about $330. However, we could expect the lower mainten- ance costs to offset this to some extent." The PUC also claims that each additional 40-foot diesel could increase the commission's advertising revenue by ap- proximately $800 per year. cost cost This above estimate, of course, is hased on capacity ad- yertising polential, but the PUC knows full well that this is a goal not easy to achieve. Have you noticed those empty advertising spaces on the gasoline buses today? The diesels have been ordered, it's too late to turn. back, We're still far from satisfied that they are needed.
