Respect is linked to accuracy of comment Dear Editor: It was with some con- cern that I read the letter from Bill Ogilvie that was published in your July 13, 1988 edition under the heading Reader says coun- cil too secretive. Instead of sticking to his opening theme, which seemed to be to criticize the municipality for not disclosing information which, in his view, should have been released to him. Ogilvie strays into making careless, unfounded remarks about our firm and its billings to the Town. I am seldom inclined to reply to letters or articles I read in the press that I know from my personal in- Tenders important to town I volvement with the subject matter to be inaccurate. Human error as it is, se- cond hand _ reports, regardless of the source, are bound to be inaccurate to some degree. That much is usually accepted. But, I am departing from that in- clination in this case because Ogilvie's remarks are too far from the truth to ignore. Ogilvie starts with the in- ference that detailed bill- ings for legal services exist but access to that informa- tion was denied to him. He jumps from there to saying that detailed legal billings are not given to the Town, that accounts are vague and lacking in particulars. The fact is that our bill- ings to the Town set out in great detail all of the ser- vices performed for the Town and _ include meetings, correspondence, telephone calls, legal research and opinions, the necessary to respond to the instructions that we receive from Town of- ficials. Were it otherwise, our accounts would not be considered for payments. Details of services rendered are itemized ac- cording to the file to which they relate. As a matter of convenience, the several files that may be included in a particular monthly bill- ing are summarized on a single cover sheet which has been referred to as a General Statement of Ac- counts. The detailed listings for each of those file aré attached. When Ogilvie asked the Town of Midland for the legal billings, he was given the General Statement of Accounts and not the detailed listings of services. He knows that the detailed information exists because that is precisely the infor- mation that he sought and was denied. step which, in my view, is irresponsible. Ogilvie also reports that legal services for the Town of Penetang- uishene and other municipalities are supplied on a flat rate basis. His deal in following the affairs of local municipalities should easi- ly lead him to the knowledge that statement is equally untrue. Some routine services are con- tracted for on the basis of an annual retainer but anything outside of that routine is billed separately and in addition to the an- nual retainer. There was a time when I had some respect for Ogivlie, his linguistic abili- ty and his dedication to the community, and _ his writings appeared useful. That respect has been erod- ed in recent years. Perhaps if his writings were more accurate, regardless of the subjective view that he On all your money for daily balances over $50,000 On all your money for daily balances $10,000 - $49,999 On all your money for daily balances $3,000 - $9,999 On all your money for daily balances $1.00 - $2,999 8.65% 8.20% 6.70% 4.0% *Above rates are for Golden Circle customers age 50 and over.
