A Note from Betty |
Well Happy Easter to you.' I hope the Bunny and the Easter Chick found
* you and left you your fill of chocolate.
Lots of activity on the weekend - Easter visitors, buck and doe parties,
singles’ dance and the usual carousing.
It's good to see the winter faces out and about. Welcome to life in Brussels
again.
The Hallelujahs were loud and clear as Easter was celebrated in our
churches with lots of music and fanfare.
Several elegant ladies wearing hats and gloves were seen on Tory Hill
Friday evening. What a lovely way to welcome friends from the north to
Brussels.
If you're into Oldfield's Hardware on Wednesday afternoon, give Phil a
birthday kiss.
Bye now,
Betty.

as well as nieces and nephews.

Library hosts
book club
Read any good books lately?
A group at Brussels Library has
been doing just that. The Brussels
Book Club meets on the first
Thursday of each month at 12:30
p^n. at the library. Prior to this they
read a book, usually by a Canadian
author, which they then discuss.
Librarian Sue Nichol said the
membership stands at seven, with a
maximum of 10 which can be acco
modated.
Copies of the selected 'book of
the month' come from the county.
Nichol said that if anyone was
interested in an evening session
they can contact her at the library.

Morris ends year with $18,000 deficit
Morris councillors were present
ed with a deficit when the 1998
financial statements were reviewed
at the March 16 meeting.
Russ Taylor of Reid and Associ
ates discussed the document with
council which indicated a shortfall
of $18,736.
Council was told the Wescast site
plant should be completed in two
weeks. Engineer Art Clark pro
posed a storm water management
system. If that was not included,
Blackhall Municipal Drain would
require improvements.
A letter from the Town of Wing-
ham stated they would transfer Part
4 of the reference plan to the town
ship for a road allowance, if the
township shared legal costs. A
meeting will be set up with Bridge
Motors to discuss the road
allowance adjacent to the business.
A motion passed stating if Wing
ham wanted the road allowance at
Lot 7, Cone. 1 extended, the town
would be responsible for the road
to be built to township standards
before the road is assumed and ded
icated. The township will share
legal costs of the transfer.
Councillor Neil Warwick
declared a conflict of interest
before discussion began on a rezon
ing for Glen and Diane Miners.
The Minerses proposed a rezon
ing of the north part of Lot 29,
Cone. 3.
According to the bylaw, they
would require double the 1,015' to
1,020' from the nearest pig bam.
Council suggested the offer for
the property should be conditional
on approval of the zoning which
would take two months to com
plete.
Consideration will be given to a
single distance for the zoning
amendment.
Approval was given for the pur
chase of a computer system from
Munisoft at a quoted price of
$27,456.25. It is expected to be
delivered between July and
September. A grant will be sought
under the Job Strategies Program.
Road Superintendent Lloyd
Michie informed council the total
snow clearing costs for 1998 had
been $44,182 while the expense
had already reached $56,391.34 for
1999. -
A letter was sent to Carter Waste
disposal asking why they are pick
ing up waste in East Wawanosh
Twp. and bringing it to the Morris
Twp. landfill with no tags ar.d why
commercial bins are coming to the
landfill without payment.
Council considered a request for
an investigation into hooking Bel
grave residences affected by the
Co-op spill into the Belgrave com
munity well system.
Information will be sent to Dillon
Consulting, the company which is
looking after the cleanup.
However, it was noted that a pub
lic meeting, involving all parties on
the well system, would have to be
held. A pump test would need to be
performed as well as checking the
pump size.
Support was given to a resolution
from the Township of Severn
regarding subsidization of bridge
projects.
Council supported the Blyth Fes-
tival Community Sponsor Day for
Morris Twp., July 27. They will
order 10 tickets for council to
attend. Reeve Bert Elliott will sub
mit a slogan for the brochure for
that day.
