Council debates new fire truck
not and if so whether it should be new or
used.
Councillor Parker said council should
decide right then whether they were going to
buy a new fire truck or not.
"What is really the matter with the old
truck?" asked the reeve.
"I've never really looked at it," councillor
Parker answered. "We've never made a
decision on whether to refurbish the old one.
We should either fix that one up or buy
something else. Let's make a decision
tonight."
"I would not make that decision right
tonight. I'd like to have someone look over the
old one," the reeve said.
"Are you going to have a pump mechanic
look at it?"
"Can't one of the firemen do it?" the reeve
asked.

Fire chief Bernard said they had just
figured on equipment in the previous year's
budget, not such things as heat and lights.
Fireman Bridge said that they had been
told a few years ago that they would get $200
toward shelving'in the old van and wanted to
know whether that offer still stood. Howard
Bernard asked if he should get prices on new
air packs.
"What is required is required. We'd just
like to know what it costs," the reeve said.
Later on, council got into ra discussion with
councillor Stu Parker, council's representa-
tive on the fire committee about whether or
not the fire department needed a new truck or

Discussion on whether or not to buy a
new fire truck took up a great deal of time at
Brussels council's regular meeting on Mon-
day night.
The most lengthy part of the discussion
followed a visit from Brussels fire chief
Howard Ber,„ -d and fireman Harold Bridge,
during which it was learned the fire
department had gone $3,741.45 over budget.
Reeve Cal Krauter told them there was
$5,031.94 in salaries, $2247.33 in supplies,
$1022.93 in maintenance, office sdpplies of
$4.50, operating expenses of $2675.45 and
miscellaneous of $759.34 for putting sewers
into the fire hall for a total of $11,741.45.
"The revenue budgeted for 1981 for the
fire department was$8,000. According to this
you spent $3,741.45 too much," the reeve
said.
"We tlidn't , you did," said Harold Bridge
stating that the $700 spent on the sewers
wasn't the fire department's idea.
"Even if you take sewers off the $11,000, it
was a case last year, looking at our year's
budget of not knowing where to stop, because
we didn't know what was required," the

C.G.I.T. girls from Gorrie,

to the service.
The theme this year,
"Happy Easter it's Christ-
mas" pointed out if there had
been no resurrection, the

reeve said.
He said in the reserve fund for a new fire
truck there was approximately $18,000.
"I think in the next year when we're setting
the budget, we want you to come in here, sit
down and talk it over."
"Then you will have a copy of that budget
and act accordingly,"
Harold Bridge also said they had sent an
oxygen mask and tank away to get serviced
and were told that the mask was over 30 years
-old and that parts were no longer available for
it. Reeve Cal Krauter told him the mask had
been donated to the fire department in 1,/253.
The reeve asked the two firemeh if 'they
could come up with some sort of estimate for
the year of what might be required or not
required.
"Do you let just anybody look at your car?"
councillor Parker asked.
Councillor Workman suggested taking the
truck up to Graber'S Auto Body for a
compression test and the reeve wanted to
_know what the hurry was on the firetruck.
"What's the hurry? We've been on this
since June," councillor Parker said.
"I'm not saying we need to buy a new
truck," councillor Parker said.
Councillor Workman said he heard some-
body mention something about a 1970 truck.
"A 1970 truck could be in worse shape than
the one we've got up there," he said.
"There's going to be a buyer for the truck
when the right one shows up," he added.
"If you say, there's something wrong with
it (the fire truck) then let's get it repaired,
"councillor Hank Ten Pas said.
