Short notes from Brussels village council meeting
Trying to come up with a fair
rental policy for the library meet
ing room took Brussels council a
considerable amount of time Mon
day night.
Eventually council agreed to
charge $4 a month for all non-profit
groups (regardless of how many
meetings are held) and $5 per
meeting to any organization or
individual in a position to make
money from the rental and to
Conestoga College which uses the
room for classes.
*****
Council agreed to offer first
chance to lend money to the village
for the purchase of industrial land
from William Wheeler to Mr.
Wheeler himself. If Mr. Wheeler is
not interested, council will borrow
the $12,500 additional financing
required from the bank. Council
already has half of the $25,000
purchase price from the sale of the
Queen’s Hotel.
*****
Council approved the sending of
a letter to Slobodan Rodojcin owner
of the Master Plastics building on
Turnberry Street supporting the
need for more rental accommoda
tion so that he can apply for fu nding
toconvert his building to apart
ments. Council politely refused,
however, Mr. Rodojcin’s offer to
sell the building to the village for
$50,000.
*****
With a buyer interested in the
site of the former Olympia Restaur
ant on Turnberry Street, council
agreed it would be willing to sell
the vacant lot for little more than
what it has spent to buy and clean
up the property, if the buyer will
sign an agreement to build on the
lot within a year. If not, as
councillor Malcolm Jacobs put it, if
someone wants tojust speculate on
the land, it might as well be the
village.
*****
The contract for paving of
several Brussels streets was a-
warded to Lavis Contracting at a
saving of nearly $1,500 over the
only othertenderof Jim Murray
Construction of Moorefield.
*****
Despite the fact a delinquent
tenant in the trailer park has paid
his back rent, council will not allow
the tenant to stay on in the park.
Council voted to give the party in
question until Sept. 15 to move out
or services will be turned off.
Council also voted to have all
services cut off to a vacant house
which is not connected to the
sanitary sewer system.
Another property owner who
was threatened to have his service
cut off if he didn’t agree to hook up
to the sewer system had approach
ed council in the meantime inquir
ing about a Ontario Home Renewal
Program loan. Council agreed to
give him a one-week extension to
get his application completed and
filed.

Council was concerned with
late-night noise at the Community
Centre, particularly with the fact
the parking lot has become a race
track for local speed demons. It was
suggested the Ontario Provincial
Police should be asked to keep a
closer watch on the village.*****

Give Roundup that extra
boost with Frigate.
By helping it penetrate the leaf’s waxy surfaces more easily, FRIGATE surfactant gives
ROUNDUP added power when it comes to zapping quackgrass; more ROUNDUP gets
into the weed so control is enhanced. Use the low rate of ROUNDUP plus FRIGATE in
200L of water or more, the best combination for quackgrass control.

Councillor Gordon Workman
who has served for many years as
chairman of the recreation commit
tee has resigned from the commit
tee indicating his unhappiness
with the way things are going,
particularly with what he feels is
interference from a Ministry of
Recreation and Tourism official.
He is also unhappy with the
supervision at the community
centre for dances.
Reeve Hank TenPas praised his
contribution over the many years
and said that too often Mr.
Workman had had to do things that
should have been the responsi
bility of the entire recreation
committee, such as policing dan
ces.
