Suggests
Exclusive
City
Transport
Rights
Re
Withheld
Until
Developments
at
Watson
Island
Are
Clarified
Alderman
George
Casey
last
night
warned
city
council
against
the
granting
Ol
an
exclusive,
five-year
franchise
to
operate
buses
within
the
city
to
any
organization
until
further
development
work
takes
place
on
the
proposed
Celanese
pulp
plant
at
Watson
Island.
The
veteran
alderman
made
his
statements
after
the
council
had
accepted
an
application
from
Arrow
Bus
Lines
to
increase
to
three
per
cent
Its
gross
payable
to
the
city
in,
place
of
the
2V2
per
cent
offered
In
its
original
tender.
Alderman
Casey
tied
in
the
operation
of
a
city
bus
line
with
one
which
may
carry
pulp
plant
workers
to
Port
Edward
and
declared
that
"we
must
keep
transport
dosts
to
the
pulp
mill
work
ers
down
to
'25
cents
return
to
Port
Edward."
"Because
the
city
bus
fran-i
chlse
question
has
come
up
at
this
time
and
because
of
pending
developments
at
Port
Edward,
It
will
be
the
paramount
duty
of
this
council
to
provide
cheap
transportation
to
the
workers
of
500
to
600
families
who
may
take
up
residence
in
Prince
Rupert,"
he
declared.
"I
think
that
it
would
be
111-
advlsed
of
this
council
to
con
sider
giving
a
five-year
franchise
at
this
time.
We
should
forget
giving
a
franchise
to
any
concern
until
further
development
takes
place:
out
there."
Alderman
T:
B.
Black
who
supported
the
application
of
Arrow
BusLlnes
to
Ihcre'ase
thclr
operating
fee
to
the
city,
said
that
he
had
done
so
because
the
application
pointed
out
that
three
per
cent
was
the
fee
recommended
In
the
Goldenbers
municipal
report
as
a
fair
one
to
be
paid
by
transport
companies
In
return
for
exclusive
civic
franchises.
Alderman
McKay
pointed
out
that,
by
accepting
the
Arrow
Bus
IJne
application,
"it
means
that
if
any
other
bidder
wants
to
raise
the
amount
of
his
tender
he
has
the
tight
to
do
it."
Later,
in
a
long
discussion
of
the
hearing
of
the
Public
Utili
ties
Commission
which
will
be
held
here
on
June
