Brussels council briefs Flooding costs village $1,123 to date up to where his ditch can come in to it then he will have to clean up his," said Councillor Greg Wilson. Wilson will meet with a representa- tive of 'the company to see what action it intends to take. *5* More than 300 letters have been sent out to people still owing for their sewer installation costs offer- ing them an opportunity to pay off their bills and save money. Of the original, installation fee, the major part is still owing because of the high interest rate in place at the time the sewer system was installed. With interest rates now lower, people would save a consid- erable amount now by either pay- ing off the fee or borrowing their own money to pay the fee. *5* Council may replace streetlights from the legion corner to Brussels Auto Sales as part of a rewiring of the area by the PUC in 1996. Clerk- Treasurer Donna White estimated the cost at $2,000 to install high- efficiency sodium lights such as are already in the downtown area.. Councillors will look at the project come budget time. *5* Permission was given to Joe Seili to use the old village dump to deposit concrete from an old barn foundation on a property he recent- ly acquired. He will pay the costs involved in levelling the dump when finished. The village's share of sod and landscaping costs to try to remedy a flooding problem on John St. was $1,123 with some costs still not in, Brussels councillors learned at their Oct. 2 meeting. Council had agreed at the Sept. 5 meeting to build up the side of the street to try to keep water on the street rather than running onto properties causing damage there. The homeowners also paid for work on their own properties. The land beside the street is now eight or nine inches higher than the street, said Councillor Joe Seili who also lives in the area and was affected by the flooding. "The neighbourhood put a lot of time into it." Councillors were concerned that this work might be damaged by the wing of the snowplow. Councillors agreed that when they tender for snowplowing it will be specified that either the successful bidder will put a shoe on the end of the snowplow wing or will be expect- ed to pick up the costs of repairing any resulting damage. *** Council will seek estimates for the cost of cleaning up its section of a drain from the industrial park. Council paid for a $1,200 study of the ditch by Maitland Engineer- ing Services which recommended the ditch be left open, not closed in as Brussels Agri-Mart had suggest- ed it would like. The cost of an open ditch would be much less than a closed in storm sewer. "We're going to have to clean up our area but they will have to clean up theirs," said Councillor Joe Seili. "If we can get our ditch cleaned Friendship Club ends The final meeting of the Brussels Friendship Club was held on Wednesday, Sept. 27 at 2 p.m. with only nine members in attendance. The correspondence was a letter of resignation from the president, secretary and treasurer thus leaving all offices vacant. After much deliberation a motion was made by Mary Lowe and seconded by Martha Logan, that the club be dissolved due to lack of interest as no one volunteered to fill the offices. To dispose of the money in the bank it was decided to donate to the Wingham and Area Day Care Centre, the Brussels Santa Claus Parade and the balance be forwarded to Maple Villa to show appreciation for the use of their facilities for the meetings. Euchre and lunch followed. With residents and police con- cerned about activities occurring recently in Brussels, it may be reas- suring to note that the information meeting to begin a Neighbourhood Watch in the village has been set. Anyone interested or who has concerns should be in attendance at the firehall on Thursday, Nov. 2 at 8 p.m. to ask questions and hear facts on how the program works. An officer from the OPP detach- ment will be present. Info night for 'Watch', Nov. 2 The winner is tossed out As the first yellow racer sailed through the tunnel at the finish line, it was unceremoniously tossed aside. But that was only because 1,100 more plastic ducks were following it across the line during the Brussels Lions' annual duck race. The chilly job of counting the winners went to Lions John Harrison, left, and Allan Teeft. The speediest fowl was owned by Dana Aiken Mr. Joseph Brewer is a patient in University Hospital, London, Ontario.
