Councillors to look at school-crossing equipment The solution as to how best to protect school children crossing Brussels’ main street on their way to and from school will await information on suitable flashing lights which councillors attending the Good Roads Convention hope to be able to get later this month. At the meeting February 5, Brussels councillors were present ed with prices for two different flashing light systems but were unsure which would be the best way to go. Deputy Clerk-treasurer Donna White told council that a flashing yellow light set over a blue “school crossing” sign would cost $3,000. The other alternative would be “flip-flop” flashing light that would be turned on by children pressing a button when they want ed to cross the street. This would cost $1,000 per light and two would Hullett Council gets $100 pay increase be required. Councillor Bruce Hahn said he would be afraid of the latter system, that once the children had pushed the button they might think it was safe to cross and might run out in front of traffic. Mrs. White pointed out the company that makes the lights will be at the convention and suggested coun cillors look at the alternatives first hand before making a decision. ***** Council put off until a later meeting a decision on whether to donate more money to help put a public computer in the Brussels branch of the Huron County Li brary. A letter from Beth Ross, chief librarian for the county was read to council saying that the library had approached local service clubs last year but only the Brussels Legion Branch and Masonic Order had donated to the project which re quires $2,451 to put in the most basic system. With a donation from council made last year, a total of $462 had been raised to date. Brussels is one of the few town and village libraries that hasn’t either had the computer installed or ordered. The computer allows library users to find any book in the library system dealing with the subject in which they’re interested. ♦♦♦♦♦ Council indicated it is not more in favour of allowing arcade games in Brussels now than the council that first put through a licencing bylaw for arcade games back in 1935. That bylaw calls for a yearly licence fee of $500 per machine for arcade games. Councillors said they are still not in favour of the games. Machines have recently been installed in a local business and a letter has been sent from the village informing the business of the licence fee. Councillor Mary Stretton said students have missed the bus because they were so busy playing the game they didn’t see the bus leaving. Councillor Hahn wondered if that was the fault of the machines or the kids. Council lor Stretton said it was the kids’ fault but the problem wouldn’t have happened if the arcade games weren’t there. Councillor Hastings pointed out that perhaps the bylaw needed to be revamped. There were arcade games in another business, he pointed out, but because minors aren’t allowed nobody worries about it. Perhaps the bylaw should differentiate between games for adults and games for minors, he said. ***** Permission was granted for the extension of sewer and water services to a west-end development on Halliday Street. The extension will be paid for by the developers. Council also received a survey of the area in preparation to closing an unopened street allowance in the area to allow for more lots to be developed. Councillor Stretton de clared conflict of interest in the matter since her husband is one of the developers. z ***** Council gave permission to Mrs. White to proceed with legal work for the purchase of land from Jack Bryans to enlarge the grounds at the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre. The Brussels Agricultural Society, Morris and Grey townships and the village are all sharing in the cost of the purchase.
