_ =~=~ THE WATERLOO CHRONICLE â€" z_ The fact is, that this crossâ€"town bus service is a fine thing, one of the best that the P.U.C. have done. It would be a shame to see it fold up n:: junlbecauae t.hereiare not enou, people patronizing it. Posâ€" sibly the councg: of Waterloo and Kitchener could be persuaded to goy a subsidy, the same as the vernment does when they want something to succeed and it come in for a lot of caustic remarks in the last few months and they were not all delivered by this paâ€" m Many an irate citizen who had n used to crossing the bridga as a shortâ€"cut to their destination, waxed _ enthusiastically _ profane udhenever the bridge was mentionâ€" ed. The Kitchener P.U.C. have deâ€" cided . that the crossâ€"town bus osy hove io sparste on 2 Tesil at a Most of the changes will merely be to another street, in some cases only a block away from the presâ€" ent routes. Just what difference It is hoped that construction of the new bridge will be such that rebuilding of it will not be necesâ€" sary for a gooiiflmsany years. We are inclined to wonder just how many of the council members who would y the sanitary inâ€" spector 31,50885 year, would Lbf willing to try and live on that amount in this day of high prices? It would be a safe bet to take, that none of those involved would be willing to take over the same job for that salary. _ _ _ __ _ __ On the other hand, Mr. Merner, the sanitary inspector, is considerâ€" ed to be very competent and quite able to do a good job. Why then try to hire a man at a b_oys"nrage? coesn‘t. There is little doubt that Waterâ€" loo needs a sanitary inspector. 1# he does nothing else but clean up Laurel Creek he is worth the moâ€" ney he is paid. __ _ J.H.S. The sudden change of weather last weekâ€"end caught a good many motorists unprepared, and many were the automobiles that went down the street, looking somewhat like a cross between a locomotive and a Stanley Steamer. _ _ _ _ Evidently from the condition of the roads and highways the first day of the storm, the motorists weren‘t the only ones who were caught unprepared, for the Departâ€" ment of Highways certainly took their time about getting the highâ€" ways sanded, and many of the streets in Waterloo and Kitchener either didn‘t get sanded at all or were sanded so late that most of the drivers had had their accidents or been scared off the streets. . _ We had enough of this business of sanding two or three days too late last winter. How about the Works Departments geninfiA togeâ€"~ ther and deciding to give the moâ€" torists some consideration . this winter. back from their deer hunting trips with some deer and a brand new list of alibis Some who did not get their deer, blame other hunters, the deer, the dogs they took with them, the dogs they obtained in the locality, the weather, condition of the bush and the fact that they don‘t load ammunition the way they use‘ ter. o â€" th% use ter. hile some parties did end up with their quota of deer, there were marg who "just went along for the ride and the exercise". Regardless of the fact that many ovens will not hold the delicious aroma of roasting venison this year, all the hunters seemed to feel that the trip was worth the trouâ€" ble and are planning to go again next year. _ ers are not saying too much at present about the new taxes that have been suddengr imposed on their goods, but those few who have anything to say, swear that the present government will not get their vote or that of their friends. 6 e _ In some cases car dealers can afâ€" ford to take a licking financially for they made plenty after the ceiling came off used cars. In most instances these were dealers that sprung up like the LRmvel‘bitnh mushroom as soon as the ceiling price came dff. Also in most cases. these men were not regular car dealers. Or in other words they had no agency to sell new cars but were capitalizing on the situation by selling useci cars from any place they could get to park them. ‘There has been little alleviation of the new car situation since the end of the war, but many dealers now think they will have so many orders cancelled that the situation will be reversed, and there will be a great many more new cars than there are customers. The used car dealers will of course make a killâ€" ing again, which is also hard for the established dealer to take, for he has a gleat deal of capital tied up in his b il_dings.a_nd :quiment. _ As one dealer said today, ‘"‘There is certainly a great deal of room for doubt in regards to such a l_n_w belng necessary, and is probably another instance like the curb on Hydro power, which shows the bungling efforts of the govemmm whenever they undertake anything that is of any real importance. Things were never as bad during the war as they have~been since.

From now on, those who wish to make a southern pleasure trip in the winter season can receive only the $150 ration. However, those travelin% for health reasons may receive larger sums at theâ€"discreâ€" tion of the board.
