Reeve Doug Fraser and Morris
Councillors Howie Morton and
Robert Elliott told The Citizen
Monday night.
Replying to complaints by
Brussels councillors at last
week’s Brussels council meet
ing, Reeve Fraser said he had it
on good authority that Morris’
representative on the BMG
committee had outlined the
problem to the committee last
year of Morris having to pick up
extra recreation costs because
of a major equipment break
down at the Blyth arena and the
committee had agreed to re
duce the Morris portion of the
BMG costs from $4,000 to
$3,000.
Reeve Fraser said Morris will
seek a meeting with Brussels to
straighten out the matter.
Councillor Elliott said he was

The roll call was answered by
naming a vanishing land mark and
showing a picture of it. Pennies for
Friendship collection was to be 10
cents for the picture you brought,
and 25 cents ifyou didn’t bring one.
The motto “Life is like a seed, it
grows according to its care” was
given by Iona Moore. Ruth Gal
braith introduced the guest speak-
upset that Brussels hadn’t
come to Morris first to discuss
the matter if there was a
problem, not decide to contact
Grey township without ever
discussing the matter with
Morris.
Councillor Morton said Mor
ris does not feel it broke the
agreement since it had the
permission of the BMG recrea
tion board to change its amount
of payment.
Reeve Fraser said that Mor
ris did run a surplus in 1987 as
had been stated but that it
didn’t know until the last
moment it would have the
surplus and that a bad month of
weather in December would
have eaten up the extra money.
Still, he said, if Brussels had
come to it with its concerns over
the reduced payment the town
ship would have increased its
payments as it is doing this
year.
