Brussels Council wants more info on Wheels Away Faced with a huge increase in the request for support from the Wheels Away transit program, Brussels village councillors decid- ed they want to discuss the situa- tion with someone from the organization. Wheels Away asked for a dona- tion of $513.50 based on the num- ber of trips taken by Brussels residents, up from $16.50 last year. "Maybe somebody should come in and talk," said Councillor Greg Wilson. "This could go up to $1,000, then $2,000, then $4,000." Councillor Bruce Hahn said some firm figure has to be available in advance. "For your budget you've got to have a firm figure," he told Clerk-Treasurer Donna White. "This is a signed (blank) cheque", Reeve Gordon Workman com- plained. But Mrs. White said coun- cil, because it didn't sign an agreement to pick up the deficit of the transit group, has the option of not making the donation.

Huron County Library Board has approved a move of the library headquarters to a renovated section of the old Huronview building south of Clinton if a number of conditions are met. At the January 18 meeting of the Library Board a strangely worded was passed approving the move, subject to conditions, but at eh same time saying that a site in Goderich remains a preferred loca- tion for the administration of the library system because of the large number of books circulated through the Goderich branch, for staffing arrangements, and because of the closeness to the county administra- tive offices. The board also attached a condi- tion that the province provide funds to renovate Huronview and that the county provide extra money to cover the cost of the additional space available so that the library board doesn't have to cut service to pay for extra space. But the motion to allow the move isn't even as clear as the muddy wording of the motion of the Library board. Goderich Reeve John Doherty expressed concern over "the suddenness of a motion to take the Huron County Library out of Goderich and move it to Huron- view." He read from the minutes of the December meeting which instructed the staff to explore the move. "Now we're looking at another motion to move," he said.
