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.

The figures ars 6,833,255 gallons spirits and 175,46f, 092 Italians beer. In each case consumption had doubled since 1935. If we are still capable of being shocked by enormities of indulgence then these figures should shock us into 'realization that it is 'high time that the policy of increased outlets should give way to a policy of increased restrictions.
