Council overwhelmingly rejected rejected a recommendation from its planning and development development committee to undertake undertake the study, which would, have cost the region about $6,000. The total cost would have been $25,000, with the minist-, ry of transportation and communications paying the remainder. Coun. George Ashe (Pickering) (Pickering) said he thought the study was about 10 years premature. premature. He described the transit system' in the southern part of the region as "reasonably adequate," The GO system, Coun. Ashe pointed out, does link Osh- awa, Whitby and Ajax. Commenting on the fact the GO, system does not extend into Newcastle, Coun. Ashe said the persons who, travel from there westward are "few and far between." The Councillor also noted that the transit service offered offered by the Oshawa Public Utilities Commission has a deficit of $1 million a year and that his own municipality's transit service has a deficit. Coun. Ashe questioned whether whether a study would produce any results. He said he was quite sure nothing would be done because because of the study and he added that by the time the region is ready to get into the transit field another study would be needed. : Coun. Bruce McArthur (Oshawa) said the study production in this country. There was a concurrent announcement that the Canadian Canadian Film Development Corporation Corporation (CFDC) would be t funded by Ottawa to invest, in the movies backed by Odeon and Famous players. 1 The lastest U.S.-Canadian effort to be released, "Shadow "Shadow of the Hawk", was'shown recently in Peterborough theatres.

Observation showed threat the region cannot afford to go into the transit field, Counc, McArthur said. He noted that Oshawa's transit deficit occurs in a municipality which has a population base and he went on to predict the deficit would be "whomping" if transit was extended to rural areas. Coun. Allan Pikley, a member member of the Oshawa 'Public Utilities Commission, agreed. "Anybody by casual observation observation would have to conclude that we just are not ready for regional transit," Coun. Pil- key sajd. But Planning and Develop ment commissioner Bill McAdams,said the study was -needed because there is no comprehensive report on tra : nsit in the region. Mr. McAdams told council four out of 10 members of the region's labor force work outside the municipality in which they live. Has ■ no one to complain to about the fact he cannot make the trip, Mr. McAdams said. But that comment brought a quick report from Coun. • Pilkey who said there were 31 persons tp whom complaints could be sent - the members of-regional council. "I just don't agree that this is a pressing problem or an He also said «" Percent of immcdiatc nccd - Coun . Pil „ key concluded. Durham's population does not have automobiles. The commissioner indicated indicated the study would have become a focal point at which complaints about the transit service could be aimed. A person who wanted to get from Bowmanville to Scugog Coun. Garnet Rickard (Newcastle) said he thought spending the money on the study would be worthwhile, and Coun. Bill Banlinger (Uxbridge) said he thought ' the regional should at least be looking at the transit issue. You've heard it before: You've got to walk before you can run. It's true.
