herald petoim ontario dear 8uv- there was an clcmcnl of poetic jus uoe in the confusion of the lost meet ing of the 1m6 municipal council at which a sir albert reeve a returned serviceman made an offer to pur chase a lot owned by the corporation it would have been rattier unfortu nate it mr reeves application had come before the new council at its first meeting and with no previous opportunity of formulating a plan for the resettlement of ex service per sonncl the confusion seems to have arisen from the fact that all members of the council wanted mr reeve nave the lot but none of them wanted anyone to have anything until the council iad a plan a precedent it seem is like a fire it is a handy thing to iiave around for reference but good people don l set one in pub lie mr reeves oiler to purchase re veals the fact that after tux years of war and nearly six months of peace we still do not know what ve want the exserviceman to have in addition to a bottle of beer everyone seems unanimous about that the council of course is not entirely to blame for the situation there does not seem to be sufficient agreement among our selves to warrant action by our muni dpal representatives

the council acting of course on bel all of a grateful community should not give these men a suiiblt lo oi which to build a home for a purely nominal i and in the case of men who own their own homes and live in them is there any reason why the council should not proclaim that as gesture of appreciation their prop erty thall be tax free for a period of three years and is there any reason why men whose particular needs are not met by either of the above bug gestlons should not receive something which is likewise within the power of ok oommtmfcy to give perish the thought mr editor that m
