Original Toronto Star caption: Battling eviction of the four home-owners still holding out against city expropriation of their property in the Don Mount redevelopment area; picketers rally around their spokesman; John Sewell. As city lawyers sought eviction warrants in court today; the demonstrators planned round-the-clock sit-ins and sleep-ins in the four homes. The owners object the prices offered by the city for their expropriated homes are not enough to allow them to buy a similar home elsewhere.
