What to do about unpaid taxes on
several Brussels properties was dis-
cussed once again at the June meet-
ing.
"This is something we go
through every June," said Clerk-
Treasurer Donna White regarding
the empty lots on Mill Street beside
the home of Brian and Elizabeth
White and a pie-shaped piece of
land wedged between the Hastings
and Wheeler residences on Mill
Street.
White explained that once the
properties are registered for tax
sale, legal fees could cost $1,000.
"No one would bid that for these
properties. They're worthless," she
said.
Last year the village paid the
taxes on the Mill Street land, which
amounted to $25.
It was decided that the neigh-
bouring landowners be approached
to see if they would be interested in
buying the properties.
***
Curtis Gardner, who owns the
empty lot on Catherine Street
offered to give the lot to the village.
White is going to contact the coun-
ty planning department to find out
what could be done with the land.
The village has acquired office
and outside workers through the
Ontario Works Program.

White said that Mary Thomas of
Burgess Street said that, as the

. The club was delighted to hear
that Christine and Carman Gross
were taking a trip to England and
Europe.
Ethel Ball continued with
"Monkey and Man" and hearty
laughter raulted from "What is a
Cow?" by Vera Penfound.
A plant and miscellaneous sale
then took place. Betsey Verwey
was the excellent auctioneer and
over $30 was made. .
