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
