Dear Mr. BillstYou might be interested in knowing of a discussian that came up at our home the other evening with some friends who were visiting us, relative to the transportation problem of. the residents of the Indian Hill Estates. particular people were very much entnuaed about the Estates, but could not understand how it could be convenient living at so great a distance from tran&portation. ~hese $50.000. :\of iles C . ~edey is building a tw0 story hrick. ;tt 46o Poplar street. co , t ing $18,000.

Halvorsen and I then realized how convenient it had been since we moved to the Estates last November iD having the bus service. We had taken it as a mat1er of course and haa not really appreciated how convenient it is to have the bu.a oircling around the Estates frequently, pickine u.p the maida on their daya ott and also acting as a means of tz-ansportat1~ for myself when going into the. City. I can also appreciate ~lata fine thing it is for parents uho have children attending school to have the bus call tor them at the door and knOw that they will be properly taken care of until tney arrive t;lt the schOol, which ia tar b~tter than the worry an average · parent would have when his chil~ren walk to school. The question then came up about thewinters in the Estates arut I truthfully could saJ that I have never enjoyed the winter as much, for it is but a step out of the .door and into the comfortable bus to be driven to the station.
