WEATHER FORECAST FOSTER REPORT The Future of Public Transport In Oshawa This is the third and final article in the series of verba- tim 'accounts of the Foster re- port, A. H. Foster was retained by the city to study the Oshawa transit system and submit his findings in the form of a form- al report, transportation services for a five year, or greater, period at a monthly rental of $835.00 or $10,020 per year.

This building meets all requirements and is in a con- venient location, A number of years ago, nearly all the municipalities of any con- siderable population were given public transportation by means of electric street cars owned and operated by private companies. In many cases they formed part of an electric power company.

REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE In order that the money will be available for the purchases as recommended and for work- ing capital, the City will have to provide the following approxim- ate finds in the years specified. 1960: Purchase of assets of the Oshawa railway $32,300; Pur- chase of six new buses $78,500; Purchase of pick-up truck and safe $4,400; Working funds $4,800. 1961: Purchase of four new buses $52,500. 1962; Purchase of four new buses $52,500 of three new 1963: Purchase public tion, many mu-|perienced superintendent be Epa pi eer SH ap the private companies|operation with the civic admin-| and usually operated at the fares istration deciding on financial then generally accepted at some|and policy matters. financial loss. 8.

It is not the supplying of service to the expensive, and repair and main- can be attributed to the increas- ed use of the private car and the fact that fare increases have been necessary. REVENUE BREAKDOWN In the case of Oshawa a fare increase was made in February, 1957. The result was that the number of revenue passengers carried in 1957 was reduced from 3,356,848 to 3, 174,928 in 1957 but, by reason of the fare increase, the passenger revenue in 1957 was $365,509.00 against $313,059 00 in 1956, or an increase of $52,450.00 In 1958, revenue pass- engers carried and passenger revenue appear to become some- what stabilized, and in the first six months of 1959, this condition appears to be confirmed. Reports from most of the cities investment ment delivered in Oshawa at Lin Canada indicate that on most of the operations, excluding the large cities, the passengers car- ried have increased one to two percent; some show very slight decreases. The exceptions to the above are places like Cornwall which has lost a large number of persons that were employed on the St. Lawrence Seaway con- struction or Fort William where OBITUARIES ALFRED ERNEST MAIDLOW The death occurred suddenly, following a heart attack, at the Oshawa General Hospital Satur- day, Oct. 3, of Alfred Ernest Maidlow, 302 Palace St., Whitby.

POPULATION TREND At the annual meeting of the Canadian Transit Association, held at Murray Bay in June, the concensus of opinion was that the bus operators were over the hump and that passenger traffic would not decrease.
