PAGE 4, WEONESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1974, WHITBY FREE PRESS The Law and You Q. Inoved [rom a modern highrise building to a charming apartment in an old house. 1 notified my insurance agent of the move, and he charged me $5.00 to register a change of address. Do you tink I should have told rny insurance agent that my new place is a bit of a firetrap?I say no, but my friend thinks 1 should have. A. You should have. A contract of insurance is a very special sort of contract. The law requires that the in- sured party act 'lin the utmost good faith". This means that you are required flot only to answer honestly any question which the insurer asks you, but also to volun- teer any information which might effect the contract or the risk which the insurer undertakes. If you fail to make such facts known to the insurer in the case of fire insurance, the insurer may not be bound to indemnify in the event of loss by [ire. Q. 1 work in an office as a fing clerk. The pay isn't great but it's flot bad either. But what really bothers mie is that there is a man in the samne office doing exactly the same job - but lie gets 35 cents an hiour more than I1 do. He hasn't been working there any longer than I1 have, and he's no better at his job than 1 arn. 1 asked th'ý office manager, and lie admitted ail this, bt said that the 'other clerk was a iinarried mani and so lie needed the money worse than 1 did. l'ni no big womnan 's-libber but this really makes me furious. Is there anything that can be donec? A. It is illegal onder Ontario's Eniploymient Standards Act for an employer to discrimnina te against cîiia c ein Tîô3. ees by paying lower wages for the same work. This applies unless the wage differential is based on (a> a seniority system, (b) a mient systemr, (c) a systemn which measures earnings by the quantiîy or quality of produc- tion, or (d) differential based on any factor except sex. If you have been discriminated against. get in touch with your local office of the Ontario Ministry of Labour. They can investigate and can order your employer to pay the difference for as long as you have been dis- criminated against. Q. Should you always caîl a policeman everytirme you are in an accident, or shotild you julst forget about it when nobody is hurt and the damiages are mninîial? A. Section 139 of the HighvayTraffic Act requires that all accidents which resu lt inpersonal injury or property damage which apparently exceeds $200 be reported to a police officer. If the darnage is minimal, there is no legal requirement to eall the police. In any event always get the namne and address of the other driver, because injury and damage could occur which may not be appar- ent at the tirne. If you're in doubt as to the extent of the damage, caîl the police anyway. Two hundred dollars may seem like a lot of damage, but in these days of spiralling inflation, a small crease on your door could run you into big money. Q.My last payment on the mortgage of my house is due in a few months. ls this mortgage automnatically written off the titie of my property?Should a release be secured from the mortgagee in writing? A. When one is about to make a final payment on a mort- gage it is advisable to obtain the payout figure [rom the lender and 'take this matter along with your cerîified cheque to a lawyer. He wiIl obtain a release [rom the tender and register a discharge of debt [rom the title.

Compec Meeting The Co-operative Market- ing Plan for Electric Com- missions, known as Compec is an informal association of the electrical utilities of Ajax, Bowmanville, Newcastle, Oro- no, Pic kering, Port* Perry, Whitby and the Bowmanville area of Ontario Hydro. Com- missioners and managers of the utilities attended the meeting. Developing south Durham mbt the major area envision- ed by the Ontario Govern- ment will provide a better balance of population, hous- ing, jobs and transportation around Toronto, according to Mr. Richardson. "However, it mheans drastically changing the prescrnt balance of growth which is still hecavily in favour of the area west of Metro. To attain TCR objectives would mecan a total popula- tiorn of' 350,000 to 400,000 by 1986, nearly doubling the figuire by uhe end of the century and growing eventu- ally to weIl over a million. "To reach these goals, if present polîcy remnains. will require a massive effort by the Governmiient. lnvestrnent in transportation facilities and piped services will hielp to opeil up land f'or housing - But creating jobs to matchi the growth of resident popu- lation will bce much- more difficulu. TIhis, however. is vital if* uhe area is tb avoid becomîing nmerely a vasu dor- mitory suburb. "The Covernment nmay have 10 conisîder such mnca- sures as financial incentives to indusury, creating serviced industrial estales and even relocating 50ine of its onvi operations. The people of Durham, more uhan any other of the TCR, will have to Uae a close and critical look at the recent work of the Govern- ment planners when il be- cornes available." F. J. Dobson, Manager of Onta'rio Hydro's Central Re- gion, rerninded the commis- sioners and managers of the Compec was on marketing activities. "But public uîility market- ing has entered a period of changing emphasis," he said. "We need to direct our efforts in this function to- ward development of techni- cal service and customer in- formation programs necessary for the chianged conditions governing the mnarketing of electrical energy.
