On that he has to pay rent at the rate of $60 a month. keep him- self, his wife and three young- sters, but it isn’t unemployment insurance that Mr. X wants. He wants a job. I asked him what hope he had of getting one through the Spad- ina office. (That’s the office where, to quote the Commission’s letter to Richmond Hill town council, “workers and employers obtain a more complete. service.”) “No” more chapce than a snow- ball in hell," Was his immediate rc ply. Thoroughly gun-shy by that time, Mr. X asked that his cheque should be given to him then and there. A senior official inter- vened. after he insisted, and he got his money. He had registered. He had been told that “if anything turns up we will notify you." He has no telephone, so he doesn’t know whether or not the employment people would phone him in such a case. All he can do is to wait for - and hope for - a letter. Not A Chance (Continued (romp Page 1) phoned Toronto, gave his insur- ance number. His file could not be found. He was told to call back later and that time told that he had better visit Spadina Aven- ue. Those calls, he said, cost him 65 cents. And again money had to be spent to get to Spadina. Ar- riving there, he showed a card which had been given him - ap- parently in error. “That,” said a girl employee,” is the reason your cheque wasn’t sent.” As one who received his unemployment in- surance payments by mail, he was told to go home and his cheque would be mailed. (The three kids watched, puz- zled, unable to comprehend the tragedy, as Mr. X spoke.) “All I want is a job. I don't want welfare. Surely an employ- ment office here would help peo- ple like me. It would be :1 won- derful thing." , And there is the story of the interview with Mr. X - a story of frustrations - of needless expense imposed on a man who is not in a position to afford one extra cent - a story of official rulings that fail to take the needs and limitation of human beings into the picture. A member of Richmond Hill “People outside haven’t a ghost of a chance,” asserts Mr. X. “That Toronto office isn‘t any good to me or 'anyone else in this area. If a storm came up there I couldn't even get a day's work shovelling. Men living in To- ronto visit the office early, look at the lists and then dash off. How can I afford to take the bus every morning? It’s murder down there. There are too many peo- ple for them to handle." “Anybody whg doesn’t believe that should go down and see for themselves,” he declared.

Ontario Supreme Court Heeds Assessment Plea They’ll be able _to stay in bus- iness even though their land lies inside high-tax Metro Toronto. Fifty-four Scarboro farmers, fighting an assessment battle with Metro. had been anxiously await- ing outcome of a Supreme Court appeal by Melville Woods, of North York. Mr. Woods works a 70-acre family farm in North York. and is a well known Oak Ridges land-owner. Before 1959. his land was as- sessed at $6,914 and taxes about $476 per year. Then Metro Ass- essment Commissioner A. J. B. Gray re-assessed the farm to $20,035. Taxes jumped to $1,225. Ontario Chief Justice Porter ruled yesterday that working farms must be assessed only at farm land values, even though speculators' land around them is being held at sky-high figures.

R. 2 Gormley, Ontario C. WIDEMAN, He couldn’t pay that rate as a farmer. Mr.‘ Woods contended. He lost appeals against the ass- essment before a county court judge and the Ontario Municipal Board, but finally won yesterday before the Ontario Supreme Court. The judgement is expected to bring automatic victory for the 54 Scarboro farmers who now have appeals pending before York County Judge Weaver. Judge Weaver last week adjourned hear- inr on their cases until outcome of the Woods case. He indicated he’d be bound by the Woods de- cision. They argue that they should be given special assessment conces- sion to allow them to continue cultivating the land. Farmers inside Metro have claimed that high assessments have been forcing them to sell to seculators who some times buy land 10 or 20 years before it's needed for subdivisions.
