Several weeks later tbey had sent the farmers an offer for this expropriated land, and iii most cases it had not been too generous. "Some of these farmers then asked the Department if theyI could go ahead witb their I planting program", be stated. -Tbey were told that if they did so they would be taking a chance. This seems like an un-. fortunate situation to leave anyone in wbo is dependîng on bis crops for a living". Payment Should Be Just Mr. Belyea stated that he believed the property owneri sbould be left as well off in cases where his land bas been expropriated for bighways -as he was before bis land was tak-~ en - and not just financially either. He believed that he sbould be paid for the intangi- ble lasses be suffers such as in- convenience. possible loss of markets and the necessîty of perhaps buying other land to take the place of that *given up which might be harder to work. "It has been establisbed in lati. aver a period of years that if a persan is forced to give up his land or leave bis farm he should receive 10 per cent extra be-- cause of the fact. In late years it has been established also that the farmer has the rigbt to re- ceive bis own valuation of his farm", Mr. Belyeà declared. He stated that the price should be that which a willin,! buyer would pay ta a willing seller, but added "this principle doesn't work out in cases such as these." "It seems that those who hold out the longest «et the most money. It's a straîght horse-trading deal", he assert-I eIn cases such as the Seaway Valley near Cornwall wberc Hydro is expropriating large areas of land, Mr. Belyea said, a special committee had been set up. The farmer may also take bis case ta the Ontario Municipal Board if he feels that the price paid for his land is flot just. "Actually, altbough this is an expensive procedure he does not take much risk in going before Municipal Board Ibecause most recent decisions have been made in favor of the fariner", he declared. "Some- times it takes a year and a haîf to get a judgment, however". Many Questions Asked Mr. Nichols, Mr. Belyea and several others present took part in the question- and-answer per- lad and discussion whicb fol- lowed Mr. Belyea's address. One praperty owner told Mr. Belyea that tbe new highway would divide bis farm and cut off a small parcel of 30 acres from the main portion of bis farm. He asked whether he would be paid for tbe 30 acres in addi- tion ta the land actually used for the bighway - a 300-foot wide strip. Mr. Belyea replied that the Department of High- ways usually pays only for the actual land used for tbe higb- way. Mr. Nichols stated that in some cases the Department will buy tag ends of property such as this. Charles Osborne, a Past President of the Durbam Fed- eration of Agriculture wbo was present at the meeting, stated that in bis neighborbood near Ebenezer wbere Hîghway 401 went through tbree years ago, the Department bought such small portions of tbree farms and still owns them. In answer to questions from those present, Mr. Osborne told of bis own experience witb the Department of Highways wben 401 was built across bis land. He stated that be bas not yet settled with the ,Department, but observed that be still bas access ta the highway from bhis praperty, perhaps because he had held out.

"When the highway went across the Brookdale - Kingsway Nur- series in Bowmanville, Mr. Scott bad an inventary of what bad been sold off the land ln the hast tbree years ta present ta the Department", he declar- ed. "It's only business. We should be doing the same thing". Evaluations Being Prepared Mr. Behyea was asked if he had any list of values of differ- cnt types of farmn land sucb as orchard, grain crops, pasture etc., and replîed that he is working on such a list at the present time ta guide the On- tario Federation of Agriculture and farmers in cases of this kind. George Stephenson, R. R. 2, Newcastle. asked if it were possible ta get an injunction ta prevent the Departmrent ofi Highways fromn crossing the property owners' land until an agreement were made. "'I tbink we should arganize and get a lawyer ta represent us", he declared. "It may cost us a few dollars, but the settlements made in Mr. Osborne's neigh- borbood and in the area nortb of Newcastle for the Peterbor- ough highway show such a wide basis of settlement thatl it scares you. I believe the an- swer is for the farmn graups in each township affected ta or- ganîze and get a lawyer ta re- present tbemn".î Mr. Osborne stated tbat one farmer north of Newcastle bad definitely kept the Department fromn even putting in a culvert before they had reached a set- tiement witbhlm. Another property owner pre- sent stated that the route of the new highway between Newcas- tle and Port Hope had already been set, and was shown on a may at the registry office in Port Hope. Another property owner fromn Welcome stated that be had planned to make improvements ta bis praperty, but is prevented from daing so by a document filed at the Port Hope registry office by the Department of Highways on De- cember 15. He was flot aware of it, be said, until December 23. Mr. Nichais painted out, that once the map bas been re- gistered as a route, the Depart- ment can prevent the property owners fromn building or from selling lots along it. Mr. Belyea stateci that be believed the pro- perty owner bas six months ta file claims of damage after he bias been notified bis land bas been expropriated. '4Perhaps they can ignore the property owner if he doesn't file bis dcaim", he said. Believed Already Expropriated A property owner present stated that he believed the land was autamatically expropriated once the survey was made, as the gavernment had autharity ta do this. It was at this paint that the meeting decided ta seek lega]ý advice and ta form the Hope Township cammîttee ta obtain this acivice and act for ail the property awners concerned. The Imotion ta form this committee was made by Mel McHolm and seconded by Harry Beckett. Mac Walker suggested that the cammittee should adopt a name for the organization and have their lawyer draw up papers ta legalize it. Mr. Stephenson reminded ih IHope property owoers of the necessity of sticking togetheîr and also of the need for quwcl action, as some properties along the route of the new highwav have already been purchased. iThe meeting of the intersected IClarke Towvnship property on e rs for Febrtiary 19 was alsio decideci uix.
