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.

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.

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.

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.

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
