Rich Man
Gets Relief?
Reeve William McKenzie told
town council last night that relief
may have been given a man, who
had $10,000 in the bank.
Reeve McKenzie didn't identify
the recipient but he did say the
relief was paid several years ago
and to an immigrant family.'
"I'm led to understand the father
had brought $10,000 to Canada'
and it was deposited in a bank.'
The reeve revealed the incident
to emphasize his argument that
"we have to be awful careful of'
this relief," '
It was also revealed that one
man who was .,getting eoal, on
relief was burniegASso,pree, all
the time in his home. 'Lots, of
people not on relief only burn
one," the reeve said.
Council agreed not to authorize
purchase of any more tog for
