REPRESENTATIVE -- JAMES HOLDEN uy Against Assessment ~ On Farm Lands Here Will be Heard Next Tuesday Morning First Shot in Legal Battle Between Farmers and Municipality Will Be Fired Before His Honor Judge Thompson MAY CARRY MATTER TO RAILWAY BOARD Committee Is Told That Far- mers Favoring Annexa- tion to Township Own 70 Per Cent. of Farm Land in Whitby (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, May 9.--An appeal against the farm assessment bylaw recently passed by the town coun- cil will be heard before His Honor Judge J. Thompson in county court chambers next Tuesday morning ccording to an announcement de at a meeting of the farmers' mittee last might. This is re garBed ag the first shot in the le- gal battle between a large percent- age of farmers and the municipal- ity in their effort to secede from the town and join the township of 'Whitby. / J. M. Godfrey, X.C., of Toronto, and F. H. M. Irwin, local solictor, have been named as counsel for the farmers in their appeal against the bylaw The town will be represent- ed by Town Solictor A. E. Christ- ian and G. D. Conant, of Oshawa. To Railway Board The farmers' committee announ- ced its determination last night to carry the matter of secession to the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board providing the appeal against the bylaw should not be upheld by the court. The Railway and Muni- cipal Board cannot take action un- less the farmers represent 60 per cent of the total land which is pro- posed to'be annexed to the town- ship. The committee was told that those in favor of taking this action owned 70 per cent of the total farm land. The plan of the land owners to withdraw from the town and join the township is said to be the result of ra measure taken by the town council refusing to renew a special five year agreement which expires this year,-and substituting this by a special bylaw under which farm properties will be allowed only such exemptions as are afforded in the Revised Statutes of Ontario. The farmers claim that this has greatly increased their taxes. Many Difficulties The question of annexation to the township presents many diffi- culties however, and in the opinion of members of the council, the Rail- way Board would nevd® consent to carve up a municipality in the man- ner suggested by the protesting land owners. They feel that the farmers have been dealt fairly in the matter of taxes and point out whereas the assessment of ordinary property has been tpjpled in the course of twentyfive years there has been but a small correspond- ing increasing in the assessment of farm properties.
