is that our proposal is not a flippant or a naive proposal but one which recognizes lhat large portions of the burden and a very heavy inflationary burden at lhat being placed on the of Ontario for general govern expenditures This is evident in the second last of Mr Millers letter to us of Feb No other commodity or service has had such a rapid escalation In price Including such a heavy increase

suffering through unemployment and all of course suffering keenly from inflation In the past you have been receptive submissions that arc realistic and rational It is our sincere hope that will use y
