Brussels Council briefs
Brussels wants more money from province for recreation
Brussels councillors voted Mon
day night, to support a resolution
from Morris township calling for
the province to increase recreation
grants to small municipalities.
The grant received by small
municipalities has stood at $6,000
per year since 1986 while costs
have continued to grow.
*****
Council also agreed to support
the Rural Postmasters Association
in its call for Canada Post not to
close out small post offices.
*****
Councillor Mary Stretton will
represent council at an appeal by
Sea Hut Franchise Inc. to the
Ontario Commercial Registration
Appeal Tribunal for the Liquor
Licence Act on July 23 at Brussels.
Councillor Stretton will express
concerns of council and the rate
payers about the proposal to build a
licenced entertainment establish
ment on a property now occupied
by a service station on Turnberry
St. North.
The lot is properly zoned as
highway commercial but the village
is concerned the licenced establish
ment would not fit in with the
surrounding residential neighbour
hood.
*****
Permission was granted to deve
loper Gerry Wheeler to extend
Frederick St. West with the street
to be brought up to the same
standards as the rest of the street.
There was some discussion about
other improvements that could be
made to the road but council
decided it was fair for the road to
be the same standard as the rest of
the street. Mr. Wheeler said he
was happy with the proposal. “I
want to make sure it’s what you
want,” he told council.*****
Announcement
Council agreed to give Clerk
treasurer a pay increase of four per
cent effective July 1 plus a third
week’s vacation. It will bring his
annual salary to $31,200.*****
Building permits were issued to:
Dave Rapson, for moving a house;
Bruce Hahn, siding house; George
Thornton, roof; Neil Schade, shed;
Lloyd Smith, house; Jim Yuill, roof
and addition; Marie McTaggart,

A derelict house will be used by
Brussels Fire Department as a site
practice fires before it is finally
burned to the ground. Council had
asked the house be demolished and
the owner agreed to let the firemen
practice in it before they supervise
its destruction.
Brussels accepts tender
The dearth of construction work
this summer will save Brussels
taxpayers big money in the con
struction of a road to serve the
north-end industrial park.
Nine companies submitted ten
ders for the work and when the
tenders were opened Monday
night, five of the nine were below
the engineer’s estimate of
$160,000. Successful bidder was
George Radford Construction
Company Limited of Blyth with a
bid of $117,627, nearly $20,000
below the next lowest bidder. Bids
ranged all the way up to $199,000
for the construction of a roadway
and laying of watermain to serve
the industrial park. Work is expec
ted to begin almost immediately
with completion by July 31.
