Brussels To Have Election On Monday For the first linty 111 a good munY Years the Village of Brussels will have an election on Monday, Dec- ember 5th to elect a reeve and four councillors. The School Board 01111 Hydro Commission were returned by acclamation. The ratepayers will go to the polls to choose their 1950 slate of officers t from the following candidates whu qualified — Reeve — R. 13. Cousins W. 11, Willis Councillors — (four to he elected) Wm. Spear A, McTaggart Geo. Davidson R. A. Bennnett R. W. Kennedy The nomination meeting was held at the Brussels Town Hall with a ' fair representation of the tax -payers. R. J. Bowman was appointed chair- man for the evening. Reeve, R. 13. Cousins outlined County Council affairs, He spoke of the excellent Traveling Library in Huron County. He stated that al- ready $18,924 had been spent on the county road between Brussels and Walton; that $1,300 had been spent on the 5th concession adjoining the village, The reeve explained the newly organized Health Unit. The Ilydro improvement in the village (new lines and transformers etc.) had been made at a cost to local hydro commission of about $8000. Mr. Cousins reviewed the financial statement and told of the immense amount of work involved in install- ing the new waterworks system. Councillor W. E, Willis, said that if there was an election he would run for reeve. Councillor William Speir spoke a- butt improvements nedded at the !Town Hall. FIe complimented reeve Cousins and told of the excellent t work done by the reeve during his term of office and said he himself would run if there was an election. I Connrfllnr A McTaggart gave a detailed explanation of the pump- ing system. He stated that there are 144 using the water and 186 at the present time who have not yet signed for it. He stated his name would be on the ballot if there was an election. I Short speeches were given by R. W, Kennedy, R. A. Bennett, Geo. Davidson, Harry Bowler and Hartley Fischer. Wm. Little, hydro commissioner by acclamation, thanked his sponsors :11 for returning him to the commission. t D. M. MacTavish, Brussels repre- sentative on the Wingham High School Board, spoke at length on TO THE ELECTORS OF THE VILLAGE OF BRUSSELS On Monday, December 5th, you will have the priveledge of choosing a Reeve to serve the Village for 1950. During the past four years I have had the honour of being your reeve and representing this municipality at County Council. During my term in office a snow plowing service has been put into operation at a very reasonable cost. A modern Fire Truck with booster pump was purchased. The improvements carried out over the past four years include the rebuilding repairing and extending of sidewalks. A road hazard on Mill Street has been eliminated by the con- struction of a cut-off or slow curve, nine tenths of the cost being borne by the County. The most important achievement was the construction of a Waterwork System which was turned on in July 1949. Although the system is functioning and 144 customers are now using village water, the two constrnction companies have still some odd and ends to complete, and there is the final settlement with them and the engineer. When our total costs have been established a schedule of rates and book-keeping system will be worked out. Our auditors have audited the billage books up to Oct- ober 31st, and, with expenditures estimated for November and December, we expect to complete the year with a surplus of $3,400.00. Due to the fact that there is so much unfinished busi- ness to be carried into next year, I believe that it will be in the best interests of the ratepayers that I continue in office. I therefore ask you for YOUR VOTE on Election Day, December 5th. Yours sincerely, Roy Cousins Melville The ladies of Church held their annual fall tea be home of Mrs, J. C.
