To The Citizens of the Village
Of Brussels and Vicinity
It has been felt for some time that
aur Town I -Tail was in need of re-
pairs and redecorating, but due to
heavy expenditures made on the
Waterworks system - it was. felt
that the tax payer could not be ex-
pected to finance this work.
After considerable discussion it
was decided- to make it a community
affair and ask the different organ
ieations in and around Brussels to
assist In the financing. The re-
sults so far have been encouraging,
we leave had some individuals volun-
teer to give their time and some
organizations have agreed; to sponsor
an evening's entertainment with the
proceeds going to the remodelling
fund.
The repair work is well under way
and the Hall should soon be ready
rnr painting and decorating.
If there are others who wish to
help in anyway, please get in tench
with Mr. Wm. :Speir, Chairman of
the property committee who would
appreciate any assistance'. you may
wish to offer.
We also wish to install public
wash rooms at a. later date and if
the above plan works out satis-
factory and the citizens show a
desire to have this done, the council
will attempt to complete the project.

Reeve,

Figures have now been released
disclosing the gallonage of intox4

then these figures should shock us

of increased restrictions. This folly
