Brussels council briefs
Land purchase going slowly
The purchase of industrial land
for the village of Brussels contin
ues to move slowly along.
Hugh Hanly, village clerk-
treasurer, told council that the
village lawyer is involved in a title
search on the property being
purchased from William Wheeler
in the north end of the village. But
the 13.5 acre parcel of property is
listed under four different deeds
so the process may take a while.
The lawyer also advised having the
property surveyed.
Council has delivered a legal
order tovacatetoa tenant in the
village trailer park. In other
disciplinary action, council voted
to ask a homeowner in the north
end of the village to clean up a
boulevard where garbage has been
burned; to send a letter to a
resident in the south end to clean
up his yard and ask the owners of
cars parked semi-permanently on a
village parking lot to remove them.
Council endorsed a resolution
from the township of Oxford-on-
Rideau to the provincial govern
ment asking for a cap on liability
insurance settlements of
$1,000,000 because the high costs
of settlements was making insur
ance so costly, programs that affect
the quality of life are being cut back
by municipalities.*****
Building permits were issued to
Newry Veterinary Clinic for a
portable office, Alex Keffer for an
addition to his verandah, Ken
Williams for a chimney and Brian
Rutledge for a garage.*****
Council will review a 1975 by-law
governing the height of fences
around swimming pools. Counci
lor Neil MacDonald pointed out
that the by-law requires a five-foot
fence while insurance policies
require only a four-foot fence.
Council prepared for Halloween
by asking that four firemen be on
patrol as well as town works
employees on both Friday night,
Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 if necessary.
Council voted to reply to a letter
from J. Axtmann, principal of the
Brussels Public School inquiring
about sidewalks by saying the
village did not have the funds for
such a project at this time.
Councillors pointed out that there
is a designated walk-way along one
side of the road marked off by a
yellow line but often school
employees use the area to park
their cars leaving no room for
walking.
