Foodland Hydro to prepare appeal • from page 1 allowing new members, at the existing rate, noting that many land owners sat back hop- ing there would he no line near them. Now that there is, he contended, they should pay extra. However, Gordon Hill of Stanley Township, said it was imperative that all land owners be cohesive in the fight against Hydro so the utility can't make separate deals and put pressure on any one. Kryworuk warned the owners against signing the first thing Hydro puts on their • plate and urged them to hire lawyers and appraisers to represent them. He has prepared a draft ' form which members will ask Hydro to sigh. It allows owners to hire whatever help is needed and stipulates that Hydro is to pay those costs. "You're in a position to fight, " the lawyer advised. "Make sure you get what you're entitled to." Comments form the floor throughout the meeting indicated many owners are indeed prepared to fight for what they feel entitled to for the line on their property and one said he expected to be paid for any time spent in negotiating with Hydro. "I can't afford to stand in the yard and talk to those buggers for nothing," he said.
