scatter debris, broken bottles,
cartons and wrappers of all sorts
on sidewalks, streets and private

believe that Brussels young
people, or even children, care so
little about the appearance of
their village that they are the
litterbugs. No doubt outsiders
contribute to a great deal of the
unsightly mess - at least we hope
that is the case. Perhaps the same

village council at their next
meeting on August 12, according
to Reeve Jack McCutcheon. After
council approves of the plans,
tenders can be called for
construction. OHC may also
agree to council's suggestion that
the apartments be constructed
with 35 units rather than 23 as
was originally announced, the
reeve said.
"It makes more sense and
saves money in the long run", he
added, since there is already a
need in the village and Morris
