At the January 12 meeting of Brussels council buys new tractor Brussels council moved Monday night to purchase a new tractor for the town works department and PUC but not before some soul searching to see where the money would come from. Noting that if the tractor was not ordered immediately there would be a price increase of $1,700, Reeve Gordon Workman suggested “If we can float it and not get crucified by the village people and get an order in at the current prices, it seems like a good idea.” Clerk-treasurer Hugh Hanly pointed out that there was going to be a small surplus leftover from last year and that between the sale of a building lot on main street and money gained from a tax sale council would have some other money available. He noted too that the cost of the tractor would be split between the works department and the PUC. The big difference between this year and last year, he said, was that the village allotted $50,000 from current revenues in 1987 to pay for the expansion of the sewer system to the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre. That major expense wouldn’t be in this year’s budget. Councillors agreed that a re­ placement was needed before the old tractor gave out completely. They voted unanimously to pur­ chase a Massey-Ferguson Indus­ trial model tractor from G and E Sales and Service in Lucknow at a cost of $35,000 plus trade in (and West Wawanosh woman dies suddenly Members of her family are mourning the sudden death of Mrs. Lloyd Humphrey of West Wawanosh who passed away Monday, Jan. 11, at home.
