"SIX PAGES RITISH COA COMING TO OSHAWA Froport Owners Meet and Discuss Relief Problem BLAME COUNCIL FOR NOT CO-OPERATING ON QUESTION OF SHELTER Association Decides to| Place Situation Before Newly-appointed Wel- fare Board at Earliest Opportunity ASK PAYMENTS BE RETROACTIVE Property Owners Also Pro- test Against Dismissal of W. D. Muckler as Sani- tary Inspector The members" of the Oshawa Property Owners' Association at their regular meeting held last night in the Genosha Hotel indul- ged in a general discussion of the problems which faced them, with many suggestions being made of ways and means whereby the situ- ation could be made more tenable for the property owners in the city. A large wud representative gather- ing was on hand with many taking part in the discussion. Severa resolutions were passed which it is hoped wil! Lear fruit in the near future. The whole question of the ad- ministration of relief was very thoroughly gone "into and many opini.ns expressed, it being felt that the government's policy of giv- ing money towards shelter relief was one of the big problems of the day. While the , opinion was ex- pressed that store owners and cor- porations should pay a larger per- centage toward this measure than was sow the case, il was also stated that the present City Council had failed to extend their co- operation ts the Property Owners in the question of securing protection for the owners of property. Action Wanted It was also felt that this would have to be brought about in order to relieve the situation, at least to some extent. It was decided, how- ever, that the association should bring the condition to the attention of the newly formed Welfare Board. With this in view a resolution was passed asking that a meeting of the executive be called to discuss the whole extent of the association's work during the year and to decide what questions shotild be brought to the attention of the Welfare Board. Ask Back Payment After a discussion of the plan laid down by the Henry Government regarding shelter relief, a resolution has passed asking the Welfare Board to take under consideration the request of the association that all shelter relief be dated from July 1, thot being the farthest back date under: which the property owner can recover under the retro- active policy of the act. Protest Dismissal There was also some discussion concerning the dismissal by City Council of W. D. Muckler, Sanitary Inspector for the city. A resolution was passed to the effect that the association went on record as dis- approving of his discharge, as it would be to the best interests of the city to retain him in office, as conditions merited it, while his dis- missal was unfair and unjust to Mr. Muckler himself. The association will urge the council to reconsider the whole matter. NEW NAVY REGULATIONS London.
