DEPLORES EXPENDITURE IN LAW COSTS THIS YEAR Editor The Liberal Dear Sir:â€" A couple of weeks ago I wrote your paper asking certain informaâ€" tion re the cost of law suits etc. this year and you kindly referred me to the financial statement which would be available at the nomination meet. ing. Mr. Greene and! Mr. Nelson were peculiarly silent on the matter of the expensive law suit with- MT. Sheardown, although ‘both devoted a lot of words to talking about the less expensive one with Mn“. Parisi. The question I asked through your paper before was in the hope of finding out exactly what the town would have to have expended to avoid the law suit. As I understand it Mr. Sheardown asked that this drain across his property be tiled. The council offered to do the labor work of installing such a drain if Mr. S‘heardown would buy the tile. Mr. Sheardown refused to buy the tile but still asked the drain be tiled, and the expensive law suit followed. As near as: I can cipher from the financial statement the cost of the tile for the dn'ainvwas $253. So Mr. Editor from the taxpayeu's‘ standpoint it boils down to fhis, the council‘ has spent over two thousands of dollars to date on this case ahone, and has been ordered‘ -by the court to do only what Mr. Sheardlown ask- ed in the first place anti which the council offered to do except that they wanted him to purchaSe tile to the value of $250. The council must have been aware of the desirability of the drain if they offered to do the labor work free of cost to Mr. Sheard‘own so the whole thing boils diocwn‘ that the, case is: really over $250 worth of tile. In refusing to do the work the council has spent ten times that ‘rnudh in legal costs and has ended up by doing just what Mr. Shearâ€" down asked in the first place. And‘ apparently the end is not yet in legal costs. -VD, It is no wonder Mr. Editor that Mr. Greene and Mr. Nelson care- fully avoided any explanation of this subject to the ratepayers last Fri- day. Almost fihree thousand) dollars, nearly four mills of our taxes spent in legal costs which might just as easily have [been avoided'. This money spent in constructive manner woufld have given much work to our men and given us some real im- provements. INFORMATION PLEASE. Noteâ€"{M12 Greene has stated to The Liberal that the reason he did not discu55 the expenditure for law cosrbs re the Sheandown case was that Mr. Sheardown was in the audience, and in discussing the case he would be disclosing the town’s defence in pending or future court actions.
