Gold chain stolen from

1980 Dairy Princess Dianne Oldfield..
Brussels seems to have been quite a
target for robberies in its early days as the
Post recently reported on a bank robbery
- that had taken place here 50 years ago and
has " now come across another robbery
which took place 100 years ago.
The Huron Expositor of November 19,
1880 reports that,_'.A most daring robbery
was perpetrated at the Queen's Hotel last
Wednesday morning between the hours of
8 and 11 o'clock. Someone entered Mrs.
Roe's (the proprietor's wife) room and took
from her bureau drawer a valuable golden
chain. The chain was a very expensive one,
costing $200.
Apparently MrS. Roe on leaving her,
room in the morning had locked not only•
the drawer which contained the chain but
the door of her room as well. When she
returned to her room she found her drawer
open and the chain gone.
"The house was searched by the
constables, but nothing' could be found of
the chain nor have they as yet been able to
get any clue to it, ", the Expositor says.

He stated that in response
to requests from urban and
rural municipalities, the
Government, in 4979', pre-
sented a proposal for a new
process mod elled on labonr: •
management , negotiating
techniques. The process was
tested, then in the spring of
this year a coMprehensive
agreement was reached, re-
presenting a mutually agreed
to legislated conclusion 'to
years of discUssions and'
controversy.
The legislation would
authorize a municipality
wanting to resolve an inter-
municipal boundary or
boundary-related issue to ap-
ply to the Minister of Inter-
governmental Affairs rather
than to the Municipal Board.
A fact-finder would be ap-
pointed to look into the
application and, if necessary,
direct face-to-face negotia-
tions between the municipal-
ities would follow.
The bill would amend the
Municipal Act so as to limit
annexation and amalgama-
tion applications to the OMB
to those involving unorgan-
ized territory and those
authorized following pro-
ceedings under this new
legislation.
The Minister is hopeful
that the necessary legal and
administrative framework
will be in place by early in
the new year.

The Ontario Legislature's.
Justice Committee has given
Consumer and Commercial
Relations Minister Frank
Drea notice to produce
documents relating to the
tangled affairs• of three finan-
cial companies.
Mr. Urea has argued in the
Legislature that he cannot
comply with the request for
government files on ReMor
Investment Management
Corp., C and M Financial
Consultants Ltd. and Astra
Trust Company because of
an opinion he has° received
from the Ministry of the
Afforney-General that the
matter is sub judice.
According to the motion, if
Mr. Drea refuses, the com-
mittee will report to the
House with a 'request that the
Speaker subpeona the docu-
ments.
A sweeping overhaul of
the Ontario Workmen's
Compensation system that
would give more money to
workers whose disability
leads to income losses and
less to injured workers able
to maintain earnings has
been recommended in a
1.eport by Harvard Professor
Paul' Weiler.
The interim report, tabled
in the Legislature by Labour
Minister Robert Elgie, would
'protect all the earnings of 99
per cent of the province's
workers.
Under the current system,
injured workers are paid 75
per cent of their previous
gross earnings, up to $18,500
a year. The maximum weekly
benefit is now $266.83.
