Brussels strong building boom continuing
Construction continues at a
strong pace in Brussels as Brussels
council approved building permits
for three new homes at its meeting
Wednesday night.
Murray Long was given a permit
for construction of a one-story
house on Queen St., and Gordon
Rutledge received a permit for a
house on Mechanic St. as well as
getting a demolition permit to
remove an old barn on the
property. There was more contro
versy about a permit to Betty
Campbell for a house on Queen St.
as council worried about how close
two houses would be to each other.
Provisional approval was given to
the permit as long as the proper
distance between the new house
and its neighbour was maintained.
*****
Council is considering a new
building permit rate to prevent
people from getting away with
paying a smaller fee than they
should by underestimating the cost
of construction. The plan, if
adopted, would put a minimum
construction cost of $40 a
square foot on a building and the
regular fee rate of $10 for the first
$1,000 of construction cost and $4
for each additional $1,000 would
then apply. Various other mini
mum fees are also under discus
sion.
the improvements in Ethel at
considerable cost.*****
Council approved drain im
provements on George St. in the
industrial park near the new Huron
Feeding Systems plant.
Grey township has offered to
gravel Burgess St. which extends
into the township.*****
Mrs. Jean Workman has agreed
to rent the village a 10-foot strip of
landatacostof $1 for 21 years if
needed to complete a second
roadway entrance to the Brussels,
Morris and Grey community cen
tre. The necessary by-law was
passed at the meeting.*****
The statue of Manneken Pis that
Brussels was to have received from
a Toronto hotel will not be
dedicated on April 14 as had been
planned. The fully-functioning”
life-sized copy of the Brussels
Belgium fountain is no longer
fully-functioning after having been
dropped in moving, Donna White,
deputy-clerk treasurer told coun
cil. Officials are trying to put the
pieces back together.

OPP praise Block Parents
Continued from page 1
Parents, he said, but nothing had
come of it.
Councillor Malcolm Jacobs
brought up the problem of delivery
trucks double-parking on main
street. He had been called by a
parent just before the meeting
about a child nearly getting run
over because of a truck double-
parked at noon-hour. Sgt. McKee
said if there were specific com
plaints of this nature he could
arrange to have a patrol car visit the
village at noonhour and issue
warnings, and if necessary tickets
to truckers who don’t use rear
alleys where they are available.
Sgt. McKee, after a question
from Councillor Neil McDonald,
discussed the problem of policing
of dances, saying that policing of
special occasion permits is the
responsibility of the people spon
soring the event. Police hesitate to
go into dances, he said.
He suggested it might be a good
idea to hold a meeting such as one
held in Blyth recently in which
police, representatives of the
Liquor Licensing Board and the
village’s lawyer had talked to
sponsoring groups about what is
involvedlegallyinsponsoring a
licenced event.
