'The agreement has been termed undemocratic procedure. It is recalled that. In the spring of this year, the council Itself was on the Verge f entering. an nErreement with the present Arrow flus Lines -which would award them a franchise if a suitable monetary arrangement rould be arrived at. Was this democratic? Not until we directed lor your personal attention a letter dated March "28. 1947, was favorable consideration civen to advertising this proposition so that all Interested parties -would have an opportunity to submit a tender. Our letter of that date -said, in part: It is considered only proper thai we, as citizens, and as interested narties. -urge -upon you to pursue a democratic policy T public advertisement, In a matter of such magnitude as a Jocal "Further, when tenders were" finally opened, and It was Jound' that Veterans' Stage Lines had tendered three jper cent of the gross fares in accordance with the Goldennerg Utility Teport and -Arrow Bus Lines had tendered -only two and one-half per cent, council allowed this latter tender, (mark you after all tenders.had been opened) to be raised to three per cent. Was this democratic? "Veterans'- Stage Lines offered no objection to this irregular procedure. We were convinced that -our tender was snund noueh to still win the ,nnnrf nf the council and our.t public. Our tender had won tne 'unanimous' approval of council. AGREEMENT WAS PROPER "fv norppment itself was w C3- drawn up In a proper manner by City CleTk H. D. Thaln. With vitpp minor changes, made on the basis advice, we accepted and-signed the agree- htw - rrMffff ' A rhe pouncu chambers, the aldermen scrutinized, line by lino, the -entire agreement That astern (Tit as amended bythe HldeTrnen them selves, was uhalirmously adopt ed, untt It was -therefore imaij that the bylaw in that formi would be ti"uV' advertised to the voters In the- press, how then could the -council possrory oei misinformed? "How -could thcyj have misunderstood the 'ques tion? Is ft their practice in council to vote 4n favor -of tnv 'undemocratic bylaw upon which they have been misinTorrnea : and which they don't under-i stand? ! It is significant to note that, at the time the agreement was discussed, a petition Tested on the desk of the actVig mayor. This petition was presented by Arrow Bus Lines in an -eleventh-hour effort to defeat the franchise by a display of public .support. Why was no action taken nn this netltion at that time? If it were not to be ignored, why did council deliberately ignore - ' it? "Finally Section 4 of the no tice of motion declared mat: The proposed bylaw, whether rejected or approved by the plebls-' cite, does not permit of any but a negative answer to the or iginal applicant (Arrow Bus Lines) for a franchise which application was received March ID, 1947, and has not yet been answered. Were these council members aware that Veterans' Stage Lines applied foT the franchise on March 14, 196? Furthermore, by virtue of the ract that all tenders had been re jected save that til Veterans' Stage Lines, was this not an-enouzh to Arrow Bet convictions were Justified.

"We 'believe further that the slenors of the notice of motion concerned should be censured for then- action. It Is obvious that they were in the -wrong by reason of the 'fact that they withdrew their notice of motion but too -late after It had reached the headlines of the press. "The judgment shown by Alderman Youngs in refusing to vote, because of his moral obligation to Arrow Bus Lines, has won our respect, and we in no wav hold him or his company responsible for the unfortunate turn or events which has cul-i mlnated in our final -withdraw-1 al.
