pressed sympathy for a woman charged with defrauding the region of york in the amount of 1618 don angevine criticized the lack of understanding and sympathy shown by the general public and some welfare administrators the crown attorney urged leniency in sentencing the mother of a six year old girl after she had entered a plea of guilty to the offense said mr angevine im astounded when people making 25000 a year bring down their wrath on unfortunate folk trying to get by on the little money handed to in touch dear jim enclosed is a cheque for twelve dollars covering the renewal of my tribune subscription enjoy your paper very much in fact i couldnt imagine being without it keep up the good work wishing you con tinued success and good luck always sincerely evelyn dishley george street markham them such people he said bring to the situation a degree of righteous indignation against welfare recipients he claimed that if those who are critical of the welfare recipient had to live on what they received theyd deny that its possible welfare fraud he said is a far cry from tax frauds where millions of dollars are put away in the bahamas mr angevine while agreeing that the woman had in fact obtained welfare relief for her six year old daughter who had gone to live with her father in another municipality urged judge charlton to con sider the issues theres not much i can say replied the judge he granted the woman a discharge saying it would be unrealistic to order restitution when she didnt have any money to start with do your homework before you do any work on your home before you start on any home repairs or renovations you should do some careful thinking decide exactly what you want done draw up an overall plan and do a little digging around to find out all you can about potential contractors for your job a few precautions will eliminate some common problems dont be talked into having work done just because the rest of the neighbourhood is doing it or because the price is presented as bargain basement if the project is a major one seek professional advice i e architects or engineers before the work is started ask for estimates from at least three reliable firms when you decide to sign a contract find out first who does the actual work insist that all details be written into the estimate the type and amount of work to be done total cost date of comolction and any extras if a large amount of money is involved have a lawyer go over the contract before you sign it dont give more than 10 percent as a down payment never sign a completion certificate until the work has been done to your satisfaction hold back 15 percent of the final payment for 37 days after the work is completed that way if the contractor or subcontractor docs not pay for materials you arc protected from liability under the mechanics lien act unfortunately despite the most carefully laid plans you may find yourself the victim of unethical business practices your provincial government wants you to know what your rights are under the consumer protection and business practices acts the consumer protection act allows you to cancel any contract signed in your home where deliv ery payment and performance of work remain to be completed by sending a registered letter to the company within 48 hours or two full working days of signing the business practices act allows you to have the transaction cancelled by sending a registered letter to the company if you have been misled by false or deceptive consumer representations for five free pamphlets on home
