Letters to tie Jditor:
Is the taxpayer paying
legal costs for lawsuit?
Dear Editor:
This letter is in response to
the "story' written by Mr.
Charlie Smith. which was.
printed in the Expositor July
2. I would like to know why.
Mr. Smith paid S2,500 to the
town ot Seaforth towards lin
cost of the lawsuit mentioned
in his letter.
if -Mr. Smith was in the
wrong. as this seems to indi-
cate, then why did he not pay
ALL legal costs. If he is not-
paying
utpaying all cosh then who is -
tic the taxpayer'! And if so.
why? I have no problem with

stores, indicating that nut all
is well in the town of
Seaforth. So why would we
hinder a business person who
is trying to keep their bust-
ncss in this town. paying
business tax and helping to
make the entrance 1roin the
south end a pleasant. sight'
Mr. Smith speaks of by-
laws not enforced, but docs
not indicated which by -taw is
being broken. i understand
that his next step should have
ben the OMB for an impar-
tial hearing. Ur dud he skip
this step thinking he would

ing for the taxpayers to pay
instead''

has been started they have.
then why is Mr. Smith wast-
ing my tax dollars On lawyers
in the first place'.' if Mr.
Smith started legal proceed-
ing against the town. and
then withdrew on his own
should he not be held respon-
sible for cost incurred'.' If not.
.then what is to stop other
people tying up the court's
time and the taxpayers' dol-
lars. Maybe Mr. Smith should
have researched his claim
before taking•it to court and
avoided this expense in the
first place. '
Mr. Smith indicated that the
town is holding $10,000) of
this -business's money. It
would seein to me that the
psi .un who started this in the
first place is the only one get-
ting off cheap at $2,500. As

to question is the name of his

suggest putting a few.flowers

enhance its appearance and
