Manilla Jet. | November ri Weekly Passenger Servics Proposed | Railway Board Reserves Judgment In this issue we publish the statement made by the C. N. R.| As to the accuracy of the statement we are not in a position to dispute it; but we do take issue with the estimate that there would be a saving of $35,658 on the Whithy- Lindsay Branch by putting into effect the'proposed changes. Briefly these changes are that, instead of the present two round trip services per day we are to have a tri-weekly service in which mixed trains will go south on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and North on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. That is to say we cannot go even to Whitby and 'return in one day. The reasons advanced for this drastic change are set forth in the statement herewith: _ Adjustment in Train Service Between Whitby Jet. and Manilla Jet. and Lindsay.

Passenger traffic in this section has decreased approximately | 50 per cent. since 1925. One crew performs all the service. leaving Lindsay at 6.05 a.m. in passenger service to Whitby Jct., returning in passenger service to Manilla Jet., connecting thereat with the Toronto-Lind- say-Port Hope morning passenger trains in both directions-- thence as mixed to Whitby Jet., returning as mixed to Lindsay. The service we are cancelling is the straight passenger round trip Nos. 197-198 Manilla Jet. and Whitby and making mixed train one way each day, thereby reducing the mileage of crew so as to be available for other service. _ On the surface of this statement it does appear that the Rail- 'way have a just cause for curtailment. Their argument in a nut- shell is that if the people do not want to use the road the Railway will not force it on them at a daily loss to the Railway. Over against this argument are some facts that were very clearly stated by el of affected municipalities who appeared before the Railway Board at Whitby last Thursday. According to the evidence presented there it has been the e service was reduced the ind t! Otheronce has been that the Rail- their and provided material evidence a Board, 50 that eventually the Railway 0 sense of obligation to keep up| very considerable measure helped | 'giving stantial bonuses to the poll of the Rail ly, lower the standard of service "branch lines Prompt payment of subscriptions ~ will be much appreciated $1.50 per year in advance, : Ts : In reading the by-law granting the Reach Township (of which Port Perry was a part) bonus it is apparent that insufficient care was taken to safeguard the interests of the people as to service, and an altogether unnecessary care was taken to secure a station at Prince Albert--one mile from the Port Perry station. Doubt- less the framers of the by-law took it for granted that the service would always be given; but as Prince Albert was a live factor in the case the ratepayers there were "'sopped" by giving them a station. ; The lesson to learn from all this is that when big undertakings are brought to the people for decision local politics should be for- gotten, and the great issues should be safe guarded. In spite of this clerical defect in the by-law, the obligation to serve the people remains. The bonuses were not given for the building stations in specific places; but they were given for con- tinuous and suitable service. Now the people must face the problem of continued trans- portation. They must face it with a distinct understanding that nature does not guarantee a continuance of "open'" winters. One has to confess that the public have been very careless about pro- tecting their rights. They have gone blithely on with the idea that things would work out alright somehow. Tt is summer time now and the roads are clear; but winter is coming and we have no guarantee of clear roads. What is much to the point, is that, while the Railway Board has not given its decision, that decision will be given shortly, and only by strenuous efforts on the part of the people affected can the situation be saved. It looks now as though ours will be a "tri-weekly" railway service, If we don't like this and think it is insufficient ; if we fear that this s but a prelude to the total dis- continuance of railway service; then our people will have to get busy and show cause to-the Railway Board why these things should not be. The next few days will tell the tale, and it will be no use whining afterwards if we put ourselves in the position of having to truck all our freight and express and to run the risk of very poor mail service. This latter matter is being brought to the attention of the Postal Department. The postal service is the life of busi- ness; and we need no further difficulties in business life--most of us find it hard enough now to make ends meet. 000m i " . Bad Auto Accident at Prospect On Thursddy afternoon of last week an American Buick car driven by Lloyd F. Blum, of Milwaukee, Wis,, crashed into a Pontiac car driven by Wilfred Hooper, of Little Britain. The ac- { cident occurred at Prospect corners. In the American car, which was going to Whitby, there was a party of four men, Evidence went to show that in rounding the curve the driver of the American car swung over on the wrong side of the road and crashed into the Pontiac which was smashed practically beyond repair. In the Pontiac car with Mr, Hooper, was Mr, Thos. Dixon, of Markham. When the crash came, Hooper was thrown out through the left front door, as he fell, the car bounced up and came down on top of him, inflicting minor injuries. Dixon was crumpled up in front of the car and suffered internal and other injuries to such an extent that, for a time but little hope was held fo rhis recovery. At present he is improving, although still in a critical condition. He is in Port Perry Hospital. Blum and his party were detained by Chief Nesbitt, and a hearing was given before Magistrate Purdy at Port Perry, who ordered that Blum be detained until the outcome of the accident, so far as Thos. Dixon was concerned, could be determined, with the option of $5,000 bail. rrr (YW Middle School Exam.
