2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, July 31, 1963 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN THOSE DAILY COMMUTERS REALLY SUFFER Speaking of unfortunates: How about. the poor Oshawa-Toronto daily commuter? His life is not an easy one; not only does he spend from two to three hours each work day in monotonous travel that leaves him physically bushed by sundown, but he pays pretty well for service What can be more exhaustive than a daily $2 return bus trip to the Queen City unless it is a similar ride by auto on Highway 401 which is rapid- ly acquiring the dubious dis- tinction (according to some of the latest traffic records) of becoming the No, 1 Pub- lic Graveyard in all Ontario | if not Canada? The unfortunate plight of the daily Oshawa - Toronto commuter can be best em- phasized by the case of an Oshawa salesman who works in Toronto, He leaves here week days at 7:15 a.m, EDT via CNR so: that he can be in his office about 8:30 a.m. He quits work at least by 4:10 p.m, (EDT) to catch the Osh- awa-bound CNR - the next eastbound train leaves around midnight (EDT). The return fare costs him $2.50 per day or $12.50 for five days, There 'ig no special' weekly rate except Saturdays ($1.45 return), In addition, he pays for car parking at the station here, plus Toronto street car fare, Why doesn't he move to Toronto? He loves Oshawa and it it would: still be difficult for him to find what he wants in accommodation for himself and smal! family MR. McNAUGHTON rent-wise the above preamble, it was most heartening last 1 that the Hon, C, S.

Mavor Lyman Gifford suggested in a letter to City Treasurer Frank I. Markson that the matter be investigated last May 8. Mr. Markson made his report May 31 and it was implemented by Council two weeks ago As an indication of the cost the new plan.- wal mileage driven, ed of such an operation, 39 civic employes received total car allowances of approximately $11,- 000 in 1962. of these, 25 were paid on a flat rate basis (rang- ing from $50 to $20 per month). The remaining 14 were on a mileage driven basis ranging from 10 cents to -08 cents per mile. Said the report "The criteria for granting car allowance is usually justified on the principle that the employe will or actually does need his car in the daily performance of his duties. What is most diffi- cult to determine is the actual amount to be granted, especially if it is to be done on a monthly flat rate,"' Some under the present system - why employe X should get $45 monthly car allowance when employee Y geis only $35, or is it true that employe Z never, or rarely uses his car vet is entitled to a flat rate of $45 per month car allow ?
