pointed
to

The

Range
continued.
Smaller

Range
hinted
that
fellow-unlonlsts
would
assist

viewing

"No

he

had
risen

he

with

for'a

Mr.

read
the

signed
by

Black

partners,
which
is
subject
not

to
approval

of'
the
company's
gross

Alderman
Robert
McKay,
chairman
of
the
civic
committee
which,
investigated
the
tenders
for
a
bus
franchise,
said
that
"all
tenders
were
gone
Into
thoroughly
and
we
believe
we'
decided
in
the
best
interests
of
th
city
when
we
recommended
the
Black
and
White
tender."
Alderman
!T.
N.
Youngs,
trustee
for
Arrow
Bus
Lines,
charged
that
the
city
had
paid
no
attention
to
an
offer
by
his
bus
line
that
"Arrow
Bus
Lines
would
pay
any
license
that
the
city
deemed
necessary
to
impose."
He
asserted
that
the
payment
of
seven
per
cent
of
the
company's
.gross
receipts
was
"ill
advised"
and
labelled
it
an
"unfair
tax."
"If
the
receipts
are
sufficiently
high,
then
the
fare
structure
should
be
revised
and
reduced,
thus
giving
the
saving
directly
to
the
passengers,"
he
declared.
In
reply
to
Alderman
Young's
submission
that
"Arrow
Bus
Lines
would
pay
any
license
that
the
city
deemed
necessary
to
Impose."
Mr.
Thaln
said
that
"the
maximum
fee
chargeable
as
licenses
by
the
city
were
$10
per
six
months
period
per
bus-
Just
double
the
present
license
cost.
