Tire slashed on Turnberry Street By Janice Becker Citizen staff After a review of road conditions in the municipality, Public Works Co- ordinator John Forrest told Huron East council at the May 15 meeting, that more work would be required on Hullett-McKillop Road then previ- ously thought. Councillors were concerned that the draft report for road repairs showed less money being spent in the rural areas, though the taxes will be increasing. Treasurer Brad Knight said taxes are increasing largely due to assess- ment changes and attempts were made to keep the road works budget in proportion to previous spending. He also reminded councillors that tax dollars were being raised for Huron East, not individual wards. The preliminary public works report indicated reconstruction on BroWntown Road, from Brussels Line to Johnston Line and pavement improvements on Cranbrook Road, in Grey ward. With drainage work, $200,000 was budgeted. In Brussels ward, a total of $84,908 was budgeted for reconstruction to Albert Street from William to Queensbury, storm drains on Albert and Queensbury and for sidewalks on Elizabeth from Hawkes to Smith, including repairs at the corner of James and Mill. A budget of $111,005 would be spent in McKillop on paving for Hydro Line from Roxboro to Division Line and Hullett-McKillop Road, spot construction on Canada Company Road and drainage assess- ments for Dekroon, Walton and Holland drains. Seaforth would be budgeted $127,238 and Tuckersmith would get $285,000. An additional $111,939 would be. spent on a new patrol truck and two Coverall buildings, one each for the south and north patrol areas. The report will be referred to com- mittee for further discussion. ••• ••• era •o. •• ••• What a glorious long weekend - sun and warmth and friends. Life is good! Camping got off to a good start with many area sites full and lots of folks using backyards and truck beds to celebrate the official start of sum- mer even if the calendar folks insist on June 21. . The walkers and strollers of the village are getting the full advantage of the gardens this week. Lots of pretties to admire and new blooms to envy. Ah, the beauty of spring. Marie McTaggart was the belle of the ball on Saturday as friends and family of the past 90 years shared love, laughter, stories and pictures. On May 18 shortly after 10:45 p.m. Huron OPP were notified of damage done to a vehicle on Turnberry Street in Brussels. The owner of a Dodge mini-van told police that he parked his vehicle in front of JR's Restaurant. While he was inside a group of seven or eight teens was seen outside. A short time later the owner came out of the restaurant and proceeded to drive away. He had only gone a short dis- tance when tire problems occurred. .6 . (kir ND. .e. 0.0 .s. 110. ••• 0.0 00. HE council looks into photo radar By Janice Becker Citizen staff There was considerable discussion at the May 15 session of Huron East council, regarding the use of photo radar. Some councillors felt it was a "cash cow" for the province rather than a matter of safety. Others believed it was unfair that the owner of the car would be charged rather than. the actual driver. While Brussels Councillor Joe Seili said he was against photo radar because his company had as many as five trucks on the road at one time and there is no telling who is driving, he agreed with Mayor Lin Steffler that he would want to know if any of his drivers are driving over the speed limit. Grey Councillor Graeme MacDonald asked for a deferral of the matter after Steffler was ques- tioned if the fines would be returned to the county with the new Provincial Offences Act. Further information will be sought. ,------------ u3s tu5 Css INK° .
