"1 had four people ask,me about it. I am in favour of a zone change, but only to what it was, a service st'btion.1 don't want hi see a junk yard made out of it." Asked if there was not a way the service station could be operated without a zone chane, the .reeve said "there can be d restricted commercial zoning, but you can't start hauling in old wrecks." "W oh't want another junkyard on main street, r in Brussels," said councillor Hank Te .P s. "We have three problems now. We t want another." urrounding neighbours must agree to a zoning change. in addition to council and county planning board approval, a public meeting would have to be held. A letter from Mr. Campbell, asking for a zoning change, should have been forwarded to the county level said councillor Jerry Wheeler. "it should have been sent.

"He shouldn't be leading eve COodyy down the garden path." Council declined a request for a donation to the Lambton County tornado relief fund. "The griddling little bit we could, give wouldn't be of any assistance," said Mrs. Graben "Where would it end up anyway?" A $500 grant was accepted from the Ministry of Citizenship and Culture.
