"They - re apparently hiding behind farmers' mutual reluctance to make a fuss. Municipalities should change insurers if they find they don't provide protect- ion." Hill was referring to the prob- lem of farm fences damaged last winter by snowplows. "Farmers suffered thousands of dollars damage, " Hill said, "and very few of them received any comp- ensation at all." The September, 1970, issue of Municipal World magazine - the councilman's bible - laid responsibility for fence damage by snowplows firmly with the municipalities. "The real problem though is that companies providing liabil- ity insurance are extremely reluctant to pay claims unless • the farmer sues the municipality in court, " Hill said. "Farmers are not keen to sue councilmen - who may also be their neighbours and so as a general rule, the insurance companies get away scot- free. " 1-1111 notes that the whole community benefits from snow- plowing operations, and that Gerald Bell, Keith Lindsay and James Ryder returned home from a hunting trip on Manitoulin Island with five deer and they had to give one away before ret- urning home.
