The explosion of a large tank of fuel oil threatened the lives of firemen fight- ing the blaze and the presence of other large tanks of gasoline added to the danger of the fire-fighters. A small quantity of furniture and some mail was saved but apart from that the building and contents were a total loss. Fire brigades from Richmond Hill, Unionville, Stouffville and Aurora fought a fire which Tuesday night completely destroyed the store of S. N. Doner at Gormley. N-earby resi- dences were saved by the efforts of the brigades whose effective work is highly appreciated by the residents of the district. JR.

Hoy is a market gardener to keep off relief if we get those low prices for our vegetables though, someone asked. You don’t need relief if you have turnips and cabbage, said Mr. Barber. How much is hay? someone asked. I’ll sell you a ton for $10.00. If you can eat that you can live cheap, someone remarked. How about our electric light? asked another. , I haven’t got electric light, I can’t afford it, said Mr. Barber, although there has been a line past my farm for five years. Yet we have to pay electric light bills for those on relief. I tell you it’s not right. Many of those on relief are just suckers. Mr. Canneh said he agreed with Mr. Barber when he said all relief should be stopped. If it is stopped there will be a showdown and we may get some- where_ Relief is: a big promem andclear to all present that all relief, j I Interviewed by The Liberal one member of the ratepayers deputation stated that those on relief had: agi- tated and kept on getting more and more and he thought it time the rate- payers who paid the taxes came to the council to protest. “We’re here,” said another to back up the council in dealing with these people who while unfortunate are not satisfied but are demanding the whole world." “I have everygsympathy for the man who finds himself unemployed, especially if that man has a family,” said one farmer. On the other hand I think they should be satisfied with a measure of rellef which is in keep- ing with the ability of the farmers to pay. “During the. past four years farmers have had a struggle to keep their heads above water, and yet we find ourselves taxed to keep people in idleness and supply them with things we have to do without our- selves. Reeve Padget made it perfectly ! I haven’t got electric light, I can’t afford it, said Mr. Barber, although there has been a line past my farm for five years. Yet we have to pay electric light bills for those on rellef. I tell you it’s not right. Many of thgge o_n relief are just suckers. You don’t need relief if you have turnips and cabbage, sald Mr. Barber. How much is hay? someone asked. I’ll sell you a. ton for $10.00. If you can eat that you can live cheap, someone remarked. Hoy is a market gardener to keep off relief if we get those low prices for our vegetables though, someone asked. â€" Mr. Willows of Victoria Square complained that the expenditure for relief supplies was going to Toronto instead of through merchants andf business people of the district; He drew attention to an item to the T. Eaton 00., and Toronto Bread firms. Why not patronize firms in this dis- trict, asked Mr. Willows. Mr. Barber pointed out that to-‘ day potatoes, carrots, cabbage, tur-l nips and other vegetables which are! excellent food are seeing at very low prices and if a man couldn’t keep him- self to-day he shouldn’t expect anyone else to keep him. employed. Tuesday the situation w Harry Barber of Victoria Square was the spokesman for the ratepay- ers. “We feel that too much of our money is going for relief,” said Mr. Barber. “It’s getting to be a. racket. A great many of those receiving re- lief shouldn’t be getting it, they don’t want work, and won’t work. I’d sug- gest that all relief be discontinued.” rechacd when about a hundred farm- ers attended the meeting- and present- ed to the council the other side of the story, the argument of those who have to pay the taxes. About one hundred" ratepayers of the township were present at Mon- day's meeting. In recent months it has been the habit of those on relief to storm the council meetings pressâ€" ing for increased relief and greater consiievation for those who are un- Mr.- Barber strode acrossthe- counnil‘ chamber and demanded that the speak-1 er take back the statement. Mr! Cannell started to peel off his coat. Supporters of both sides jumped to their: feet and in the twinkling of an eyelash the council chamber was transformed into, a real old time mught and tumble fight with ev-eagy- one taking a crack as the opportunity presented itself. However; the fig-lit was just started when the officers of the law strode in an. din a. few minutes the belligerents were parted. However, it was nearly half an hour before Reeve Padget could restore order and proceed with the business. Mr. T. Cannell, who many times has appeared before council as spokesâ€" man for the unemployed, was speak.- ing‘ at the time the fight broke out. Mr. Harry Barber of Victoria Square who. form-erLiz had addressed the council and denounced the increasing expenditure for relief and the atti- tude. of many of those who receive it was engaging in some cross fire with Mr. Cannell, and recommended cabbage and turnips as good whole- some food which didn’t cost much these days. “When you talk that way, I say you should have been born a cow,” said Mr. Cannell. A. rough and tumble fight in which five representatives of those of re- lief and about twice as many rate- payers participated ended a heated discussion of. relief matters at the regular meeting of Markham» Town- ship Council h-eld at Unionville Tues- day afternoom Just as the free-flor-all start/ed Constable James Walker and two other constables rushed in. from an adjoining room and. parted. the combatants and ushered the trouble- makers out of the hall.

I Harry Barber of Victoria Square anti About 100 Farmers of the} Township Protest Relief Expenditure: “You should have been born a Cow,” says Mr. Cannell -- “Take it Back,” says Mr.. Barber â€"â€" Police Officers Rush In To Stop Fight.- Speaking generally on relief con- ditions in Markham Township offic- ials of the municipality interviewed by The Liberal stated that in April there was expended in direct relief $585.71 for groceries, $89.75 for fuel, $106.25 for clothing, and in addition $982.75 spent for relief work which. apportioned to the unemployed acâ€" cording to the size of families. “With the exception of a few troubleâ€" makers or agitators the majority of these people are well satisfied and thankful for what they get,” said one official. “It is the agitators who cause all the trouble.” In addition to the above amounts the township paid an account for $229.00 which was one half of the cost of the hospitalization of indigent patients from Markham in the month of April. ' A general complaint from the farm- ers was that these men receiving re- lief were not willing to accept work on the farms. In return the charge of starvation wages was hurled back by the unemployed. There was genâ€" eral approved amongst the‘deputatiou of the statement of policy by Hon. David Qroll and the Ontario govern- ment regarding those on relief doing farm work. As I said before, I’d like to See re- lief stopped, saidiMr. Carmellyand‘ a constructive works program instituted which would benefit the municipality, not this silly work of digging holes and filling them in just to keep men engaged. A short time ago-we had ,a‘ good relief officer in Markham Town- ship at a salary of about $50.00 a. month and mileage. Now we have two at a salary oi. over $100' per month. I know that unemployment is a big question, but I submit- that it is a federal matter and should be the concern of the Federal government. I have a family of nine, but I agree with Mr. Barber, go. ahead,. out. out relief and we will see what happens. You have no right to cause trouble, someone shouted. “As long as you respect. Law and order, shouted another. In the general discussion regarding relief matters a suggestion was made that supplies for those on relief in- stead of being delivered be left at stores to be handed 0119 to the differ- ent families and; in miss-way, 21.53;»ng effected. We’re willing to try anything at all, said Reeve Padget, anything that we think will help the situation which we all know is very‘ serious. Why don’t you go to Russia; said one voice. I know what we can do about it, said Mr. Barber. If you- can’t keep yourself here then go back where you came from.. The majority. of those on relief are Englflshmem. Where were you born? I was born in England, but that has nothing to do with it. I‘m'been'in this country for thirty-two years, probably as long as you, and I. have as much right here as you have. want to tell you it’s= a. permamnt problem. They say prosperity is! just around the corner but they’ve been. saying that for four years. It’s a7 big problem, but what are you going to do aboutdt. WEEK? CGUN‘ClL '1" TI!
