THE SITE WILL BE OPEN SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28,1985. Dale Newman had the pleasure, on behalf of the Brussels Lions Club and the Easter Seal Society on Saturday, Dec. 14 of presenting Bill and Valerie Shortreed of Taxes Continued from Pg. 1 ments had been raised at the ratepayers meeting in November and since then councillors and the town office staff had been ques- tioning taxpayers to see which they preferred, the old system of paying twice a year or the new one of four, smaller payments. The feeling on the part of most people questioned seemed to be they'd prefer a smaller tax bite at a time. Councillors considered the extra cost of the new system versus the saving in interest. At present, the County of Huron and Huron Board of Education bill the village quarterly and if the village doesn't have the money available because it hasn't collected taxes yet, it must borrow the money. In a related decision, councillors decided to put the cost of garbage collection back on the tax bill, rather than having the Public Utilities Commission bill it month- ly. Clerk Stuart Parker noted that the Ontario Hydro supervisors of the PUC had been asking that the PUC charge the town 50 cents per bill per month to collect the charge. The reason for having the P.U.C. collect the charge was a cashflow problem: the garbage fee built up over six months until the first tax installment is due. With quarterly installments, it was felt the cashflow problem would not be severe. Councillor Malcolm Jacobs sup- ported the move saying he would never agree to paying the PUC a charge to collect the garbage fee. 91,1•111 , BARBARA M.
