This was the step indicated by city solicitor E. G. McNeely and traffic committee chairman A. V. Walker following an Ontario Mu- nicipal Board hearing in Toronto Friday The board decided it had no jurisdiction over the city's pro- posal to enter into a 10-year fran- chise agreement with a Windsor group when the CNR franchise ends in December; nor did it con- sider it could rule on the city's application to dispense with a plebiscite on the question. Provided the agreement is ap- proved by the electorate no fur- ther application to the board will be necessary. TO AFFECT OTHERS The board's decisions appear ities considering new franchises for their transit systems. Initial reason give by the 1 nicipal Franchises Act the city |remains liable to conduct a pleb- iscite if it wishes to pursue the |proposed agreement. THE CITY'S CASE Presenting the city's case, Mr. McNeely said it was most im- portant the question of jurisdic: tion be decided at the earliest possible date. He observed the authority for | municipalities to deal with mat- ters affecting transit was believed, could be liberally. "Without power to negotiate how can municipalities be ex- pected to deal efficiently with their transit problems?" he asked. He submitted it was essential for: municipalities to be empower- ed to give some form of compen- sation or subsidy to companies operating city bus systems. On the question of the plebis- cite, Mr, McNeely said the board some cases did have power to pense with a public vote. In interpreted i dis | meeting by paintings and draw- board for its rulings was that the|iy.ce cases approval by the board ings of birds by vear by the Federation of On- |tario Naturalists.
