This week the Advance ‘â€" ‘approached Jack Dalton Jr. for statement concerning his side: of the story. What follows= is an account of Mr. Dalton‘s attitude on the latest>â€"development to the situation â€". namely, the request of the citizen‘s committee on bus fares to see the figures on which council recently based its decisâ€" ion to rescind the bus bylaw: Jack Jr. stated yesterday that he had. refused to provide ex_ mayor J. Emile Brunette and the citizens‘ committeeâ€"on bus fares with the figures <which he had provided Councillor Barney Quinn when the latter was preparing his report "for very good reasons‘‘. j "However, when it came to getting Mr. Bartleman‘s report, it: became apparent that no actual report was ever made when the bylaw, was pass_ ed. Mr. Bartleman said he woul preâ€" pare a copy of his figures. now two months after th6: bylaw was j C Why should L accept a report oked up now, when none existed m the first place?" *‘Naturally, 1 was astounded : when I discovered that no report was made When the bylaw was passed and that if any flg any kind were used they*@®were"6 f thé"‘sketchiest type and apparently ‘dished off <the cuff" by Mr. Bartleman. I was astqounded that a responsible body of public men would pass a bylaw without thorâ€" oughly\ investigating the matter with which they were dealing. "I fail to see why I should feel ob_ liged to give my figures to this comâ€" mittee for that reason. I don‘t be. lieve I obtained fair and rmonable treatment from them and, in view of the way in which I was.dealt with in the past, I do not heliqva that my figures, which are 'guaranteed ‘by a reputable firm of accountants would be ‘dealt with fairly and reasonably at this time or at any time in the future by these men." _ It is their. opinlon‘iha bylaw 1027 was unjust. <~Personally, I know it Mr. Dalton pointed out tha he had released his figures to the 1948 .counâ€" cil as elected representatives of »the town and that he had co_operated 100 percent with council in trying to get a just and honest analysis of the sitâ€" uation.
