Council to review
services to businesses
Brussels village council is going
toreviewthe cost of operating a
main street business versus an
off-main-street businesses, it was
decided at the November meeting
last week.
Murray Lowe was present to
point out what he felt were
inequities, not just in business
taxes but in costs for water and
sewer services and garbage pick
up. Mr. Lowe felt his service costs
were high considering he only put
out about one bag of garbage a
week and hardly used any water.
Meanwhile, he said, there are
people who are doing business
from their home who aren’t even
being assessed business tax at all.
Clerk-treasurer Hugh Hanly
proyided a few examples of the
inequities Mr. Lowebrought up
which prompted Councillor Gor
don Workman to say: “What it
boils down to is that anybody who
has a business on main street is
being penalized for having their
business there.”
Councillor Neil McDonald a-
greed that the assessment rolls and
service charges need to be updat
ed. Reeve Hank Ten Pas recom
mended the whole issue should be
looked at. Mr. Hanly was asked to
prepare more information on the
subject.

Students win Menzies awards
For the 16th consecutive year,
the George Menzies Endowment
Fund has provided a substantial
cash award to each graduate of the
Brussel Public School who has
gone directly into post-secondary
education from high school.
Since its inception in 1971, the
fund has provided more than
$51,000 to 86 Brussels and area
students who qualify. Each year,
the interest from the fund, approxi
mately $2,400 this year, is divided
equally between all qualified
applicants.
On Friday, Bruce Raymond of
RR 1, Ethel, grandson of the late
Mr. Menzies, presented cheques
for $600 to each of six students from
the Brussels area. The presenta
tion was made during the Com
mencement Exercises at the F. E.
Madill Secondary School.
The 1986 recipients were: Rose
Marks, formerly of RR 4, Brussels,
now a geography major at Sir
Wilfred Laurier University in
Waterloo, and her sister, Susan,
now taking a course in office
administration at Conestoga Col
lege in Kitchener; Wayne Wheel
er, formerly of RR 5, Brussels, now
studying field crop and livestock
management at Ridgetown Coll
ege; Kerry Bauer, formerly of RR
3, Brussels now studying for a
career as a physical education
instructor at Fanshawe College in
London; Wendy Martin, formerly
of RR 3, now attending Goshen
College in Indiana, U.S.A., as a
major in social work; and Darron
Chesher, formerly of the Brussels
area, who has graduated from
Sarnia Collegiate.
Neither Miss Martin nor Mr.
Chesher was able to be present at
the ceremony.
The late George Menzies, form
erly of Grey Township, was
intensely interested in the value of
education throughout his life. The
possessor of less formal education
than a Grade 8 student of today, he
was able to gain for himself a
position of prominence and respect
in his community, and was always
vitally concerned that any student
who had the ability to proceed to
higher education should not be
held back through the lack of
financial assistance. With this in
mind, his will generously provided
for the establishment of the fund,
which will continue to benefit
students from theareafor many
years to come.
