Brussels council briefs
Councillors support resolution to aid farmers
Brussels council will support a
resolution from Ashfield calling for
more provincial and federal gov
ernment money for fanners.
Councillors decided at their
meeting Oct. 7 that they would sup
port the resolution even though
most didn’t know the specifics of
the kind of aid Ashfield councillors
wanted. "When farmers are making
money everybody else is making
money to," said Reeve Gordon
Workman. "If this country can get
along without farmers it will sur
prise me."
A resolution supporting Ashfield
will be presented at a meeting Oct.
21 when council meets to discuss
salaries.

Councillors delayed signing two
agreements until they received fur
ther information.
One agreement would bind the
Brussels, Morris and Grey Commu
nity Centre to selling any cola drink
but Coke for 10 years in exchange
for Coke providing a time clock for
the arena.
The old clock at the arena had
needed more than $4000 in repairs
so the recreation committee had
reached the agreement with Coke
for a new clock which has already
been installed. Councillors were
uncomfortable with the length of
the agreement and felt the signing
of the agreement should be
delayed.
Another agreement with the
Huron County Board of Education
for use of the Brussels Public
School for recreational purposes
was also left unsigned awaiting
more information. The agreement
would cost the village $1 a year for
20 years. Currently there are no
recreation committee sponsored
programs that use the school
grounds but the soccer field at the
school grounds has been improved
al a cost of $5000 for use by the
local soccer teams, said Councillor
Greg Wilson. "I don’t want the
school board telling us we can’t use
it if we don’t sign the agreement,"
he said.
Council will seek more informa
tion on the agreement before sign
ing it.

The owner of a house that coun
cil had asked to be repaired
appeared before council to apolo
gize for the condition of the build
ing and promise action.
Mary Gurica of Keswick, owner
of a Turnberry St. house that is
badly in need of repairs, told coun
cil she had hoped to fix up the his
toric building when she bought it
but family illness had delayed her
plans. Now, she said, she had
decided the job was just too much
for her and she was trying to sell
the house. "The place looks a mess.
I'm more embarrassed about it than
anyone," she said. She said she has
already done work the board up the
house and make it safe but she
would do more work this fall, and
if the house wasn't sold, do more
work in the spring.
"I hope you realize we have to
act," Reeve Workman told her.
"We've had complaints." Mrs.
Gurica said she understood.♦♦♦
A dog owner who sold his dog
after only a month, won't get a
refund on the other 11 months of
his dog licence. The owner had
asked for the refund but Reeve
Workman cast the deciding "no"
vote after council had split 2-2 on
the question. Councillor Bruce
Hahn, who supported the request,
said he wouldn't have bothered ask
ing for a refund on the $8 fee him
self, but he didn't see the difference
in giving this refund and refunding
taxes to someone who sold a home
or closed a business after taxes had
