Brussels council briefs Brussels houses get street numbers Members of the Brussels Leo club will be knocking on doors in the next while to inform Brussels homeowners of the correct street number for their home. Council approved Monday night of the work done by summer student Lori Parket in setting out street numbers for each house on each street. The Leos will also be offering to sell homeowners num bers for their houses. Councillor Elizabeth Graber told council she’d like to see them go one step further, however, and straighten out some of the confu sion in street names. There are. for instance, two Thomas Streets and there are other places where two streets join main street (Turn berry) from east and west with different names such as Flora St. to the west of Turnberry and Market Street to the east, Catherine becoming Church, and Hawkes becoming Ellen. Council agreed the possibility of ending the confusion should be investigated. Acting chairman Malcolm Jacobs pointed out that the confusion on the part of a strange ambulance crew could waste precious seconds needed in saving a life.***** Council agreed to hire Flanigan Tree Service to remove seven or eight trees in a dangerous state of decay. Normally the tree removal has been done by the Wingham Public Utilities Commission crew but Brussels P.U.C. has since contracted with Seaforth PUC for additional line work because of a potential saving of about $8,000 based on last year’s hours of use. The Seaforth PUC, however, does not have a truck that will go high enough to cut the tops off trees. Councillor Gordon Workman sug gested the P.U.C. may have made a foolish decision because of all the extra services the Wingham utility has been able to provide over the years. One private homeowner will also have to get a tree service to remove a tree from his property since the Brussels truck can not go high enough to safely remove the top.***** Council will take a closer look at sidewalks before asking for prices for sidewalk construction for the year. Council had earlier promised residents of William St. they would get them an improved sidewalk but also faces problems on Mill St., in the block east of Turnberry (main) St. Council would like to pave that block but feels it is a waste of money until a proper sidewalk is installed. In addition, council received a letter from Callander Nursing Home asking for action on an uneven sidewalk in that area of ' Turnberry Street South. Council’s difficulty is trying to stretch its small sidewalk budget to meet all the needs.***** A motion was passed to install two street lights on the extension of John Street from the arena, the controversial piece of roadway providing an exit from the Brus sels, Morris and Grey Community Centre. Councillor Graber did not initially support the idea saying “I’d rather not get into any more controversy on that road.’’ The motion also leaves it to the option of the recreation committee to install a third street light on its property. Councillor Jacobs supported the idea because of the number of children playing in the area. Two other streetlights, part of the number of second hand lights council purchased from Ethel and Exeter, will replace older lights near the residences of Bill Kelling- ton and Paul McDonald.***** Much praise was dished out throughout the meeting for the efforts of everyone involved in the Homecoming celebration. Coun cillor Neil McDonald singled out the people in charge of clean up for the terrific job they did of having the village spotless despite the thousands of people taking part in the celebration. ***** Building permits were issued to G. McLaughlin for alterations to a house and extension of a porch; Ken Sholdice for siding; Gerry White (Brussels Inn) for a new roof; Vern Downie for a green house and Doug Trollope for renovations to a house.***** Council will explore the possibil ity of installing a new electric heating system in the Brussels Library. The council had been looking at replacing the old, tilting chimney on the building but the first price quoted was $1,880. Council, saying a two-flue chimney was no longer necessary asked the contractor to come back with a price for a one-flue chimney. That price was $ 1,830 since the chimney would apparently still have to be built to the old size and the only saving would be on a flue pipe. Looking at the cost of replacing the chimney gave the councillors the idea other alternatives should be explored. Councillor McDonald suggested looking at electric heat ing. Councillor Workman agreed the idea should be explored saying he was al so concerned about the long-term condition of the boiler. Money might be spent on the chimney only to have the boiler need replacing in a couple of years, he said. Three local electrical contractors will be asked to submit proposals for the conversion for council’s consideration. The good ship “Community Nursing Services’’ captured all three events at Sunday’s Bath Tub Races in Brussels, proving its motto that “We do it best’’. The races which were organized by the Brussels Optimists as part of the village’s Homecoming Celebration over the weekend, proved so successful that the Optimists plan to make it an annual event.
