Brussels Council A. special meeting of the Council was held Monday evening to deal with two queetions. All the members of the Board were present excepting Councillor Pryne, The first item of business was the question of the removal of two Baba of Gilead trees opposite the property of le G. Jones, a petition from resi- dents of that locality designating thein as a nuisance. Since last meet,- ing the Statutes bearing on tree cut- ting had been studied and it was dis- covered that trees could not^ be cut down unless person whose property adjoined was willing. Reeve inter- viewed Mr. Jones on the matter and he declined to give his consent. A civil action appears to be the 0113 wity out of a case of this kind and the resnit of that course is speculative and expensive. Mr. Dillon,an expert from IMadi- son, Wisconsin, addressed the Board, as the representative of Jas. Sharpe, of Chicago, owner of Brussels Electric Light plant, relative to the town pur- chasing the same. He went into the matter very fully and proved his ability to deal with such matters. Re- eeipts and expenditures 'were given and a good case made out as to profits. $8,000 was named as the price. Mr. Dillon pointed out how added profit tnightbe made by theme of exhaust steam for heating buildings adjacent and •also be increasing the lighting area. He had gone over, the whole business and found the plant in good working condition. An interesting diecussioo ensued and experiences were given of the ad- vantages of ownership by. corpora- tions. No decision WAS /termed at as the necessity of more Mature delibera- tion, the valuation of a man appoint- ed by the Council and other gnesticina were necessary to be considered.
