The Toronto paper has been giving generously of its space to the airing of the town's civic difficulties and today it comments thus: "Twenty-eight farmers are involv- ed in the dispute and the fact that 20 of them were present at the meet- ing tonight is pointed out as proof of the unanimity of the farmers on the stand they have taken." Only last Monday the same paper stated, 'The farm agreement dispute between the town of Whitby and the 35 owners of farm lands within the town limits received a new turn over the week-end when the farmers, act- ing on the advice of J. M. Godfrey, K.C, decided to take action under the municipal act to leave the town and join the township of Whitby." ether the distinction between 35 and 28 is that of owners of farm fans and farmers must remain a mat- ter of some doubt. None the less the dispute concerns all the owners of farm property whether they be the Jocuies. oF Ho, The question is one which ev. person. holdin farm Within. the ic ity and 'assessment role shows that there are 35 and not 28. The T Not fisg fied e Toronto paper not justi in stating that last night's meeting was prot of the unanimity of the stand te farmers are taking on the mat ter. According to its own statement there were but 20 present and this can not indicate that all the farmers are unanimous in their desire to leave the town. It would be quite correct to state however that those in attendance represented the great- er of the total assessed farm property. The meeting also proved that this group is determined to have the Rai and Municipal Board decide the issue. ST.
