The Citizen, 1986-11-12, Page 10PAGE 10. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1986. Brussels Reeve Hank TenPas presented a plaque to Leona Armstrong Huron County Warden at the Warden’s banquet in Brussels, Friday night. Work was completed on the bridge and road over the Blyth Brook on sideroad 5-6, between the 8th and 9th of Morris early this week, and the long awaited direct route to the Howson and Howson elevator nearby was re-opened after being dosed most of the summer after a truck went through the old bridge. Bruce Howson said that the repair has delayed the corn harvest between the sideroad and Hwy. 4, as many farmers do not like taking the long detour with corn buggies on the main highway. Above, the diverted stream is re-routed under the new bridge as the final step in construction. Brussels council briefs Brussels firm to build plant When Brussels village council decided to purchase a larger parcel of land from William Wheeler at the north end of the village for an industrial park, they left the way openfor other buyers for a smaller, more accessible parcel and already a business will locate there. Among the building permits approved by council at its meeting Nov. 3 was one to Huron Feeding Systems for a new 24 by 56 foot commercial building with office and storage space on George Street. The company currently operates from a location on John Street. Other building permits were issued to Gary Richmond for a chimney, Randy White for partial replacement of a roof, and Murray Kellington for construction of a Royal Home. Mr. Kellington also received a demolition permit for a building on the lot where the house will be built. The contract for snow removal in Brussels was awarded to Bauer Farm and Garden Service for $32 per hour plus $10 per day standby. It was the only tender received. The probationary period for Clerk-treasurer Hugh Hanly end­ ed on Oct. 28. Council voted to accept Mr. Hanly permanently. A salary will be set once Mr. Hanly has been able to meet with both council and the Public Utilities Commission. The resignation of Nancy Exel as Brussel’s representative on the Wingham and District Hospital Board was accepted.***** Permission was received from the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority for the use of the Brussels conservation area for the 115th birthday celebrations next summer subject to proper insur­ ance coverage which would ab­ solve the MVCA of any liability.***** Morris township quickly accept­ ed the increased fees proposed by the Brussels fire department but Brussels council will have to meet with Grey township over its proposals there. Grey has its own fire department but there are several residents close to Brussels who benefit from lower fire insurance expenses because of the close proximity to the Brussels department. Brussels council has compiled a list of the taxpayers who are served in this way and the value of their property assessment.***** Council didn’t receive any offi­ cial reply from John Pennington to its letter asking him to clean up a village-owned boulevard near his home on which burning had taken place, but it got a verbal reply at the meeting, rather colourfully telling councillors what they could do with their demand. Mr. Pennington, who was pre­ sent as a spectator at last week’s meeting, had also been present for most of the October meeting but council had voted to send the letter after he left, late in the meeting. Mr. Pennington was angry saying council couldn’t even bring up the matter in the four hours he was there but waited until he left. As far as he was concerned, he said, he wasn’t going to do anything. Council voted to install “no parking’’ signs along Alexander and Catherine Streets near the school to prevent people parking on the area of pavement meant as a walkway for children. Council approved purchase of a new vacuum cleaner for use in both the village office and the library. Reeve Hank Ten Pas said he had talked with Jack Stoner, Mayor of Standish Michigan and Mr. Stoner wants to bring the Standish band, 75 in all, to Brussels and Wingham in late winter to play and also to experience curling for the first time in their lives. It’s also hoped to have Standish, as sister city of Brussels, take part in the home­ comingcelebrations next summer.
