The present looping at South Station Street may be the most logical and least likely to interâ€" fere with traffic. But better facilities must be located at the main transfer point, wherever it may be finally located for the many passenâ€" gers that will be using these buses. A shelter should be built to protect the waiting passenâ€" gers from the wind and a larger area should be available for the loading of buses, which are coming in several at one time, so that regular vehicular traffic is not blocked. The TTC has found good patronage of these lines already, and it will continue to grow, but these passengers merit as good accommodation as that provided at main Toronto transfer points.

How these elected canâ€" didates carry on and what they advocate should be studied. When large expenditures are being talked of, then is the time to watch the movements of those presenting the suggestions. Remember that all the expenses incurred have to be met by the tax dollar. They are spending the money of the electors. Now is the time to start and know what is going on so that next year the question of how to vote will ‘not"be necessary, wikn With all the publicity that is given through the press, over the air and by cards and circulars you would not expect such a situation to arise. Yet it is a fact the people generally do not know how to secure the best candidates who offer themselves. They are led by groups and supporters to elect the candidates that they want placed. * This is a bad situation to let run along. As the communities grow it becomes more and more imperative that every voter secure full information about the persons seeking office and about the byâ€"laws that are submitted to the people. <This is the only means of securing good sound practical government. It assures progressive administration for the people. It is a proâ€" tection for the whole community life. Therefore it is time that some means of constant information should be sought throughout the whole year. People who have the right to cast a ballot should be better informed than they are toâ€"day.
