Brussels lost some of its trees
last week. Dead trees and•
utiwanted branches fell to the
machine of the crew of wood
cutters and trimmers, The
abundance 'of beautiful trees in
our village are what helps to make
Brussels: "The Prettiest Village
in Ontario". We hope we do net
lose too many of them.
brussels impost fee by-law
"isn't worth the paper its written
on councillor Frank Sttetton told
a joint PUC' council Meeting
Tuesday night.. Mr. Sti'etton said
he has been told by the village's
'hetters that to be valid, such a
by-law must be approved by the
Ontario Municipal Boatd. Council
has not yet sought that approval.
The impost fee by-law, passed
December 1916, charges a levy
Brussels Council and the PUC
remained deadlocked on the
question of who should pay what
share of the clerk's salary after a
special meeting Tuesday night.
COuncil attended the PUC
meeting in hopes of solving the
problem. which began at the time
of the differences between
Council and Clerk Bill King in
May.
PUC commissioner Alex- Keifer
told council the Village should
pay 50 percent of the clerk's
salary and the PUC would pay the
other SO percent. Since 1960. the
PUC has paid. 60 percent of the
clerk's salary and Council has
paid the remaining 40 percent.
Both Mr. King and his assistant
Ruth Sauve do, work for the PUC
and, for the Village.
'Mr. Keffer said at an earlier
meeting that the PUC would
consider going to computer
billing in December if Council'
would not agree to a fifty-fifty
split. At the Tuesday sheeting,
councillor Malcolm Jacobs said
the PUC should make a decision
on computer billing before council
considers changing the ,pay
Cstruct tire.
Mr. Keffer could not say if the'
PUC. 'would definitely go to
computet billing: "A lot depends'
on this meeting" he said,
Mr. Keller sparked controversy
of $12 per foot on lots in
Undeveloped areas that require
municipal Services. Council' stood
to gain about $21;000 impost
fees on lots created when the road
to the new arena is opened.
Mr. Stretton's information was
passed on to' council fot their
consideration at the Tuesday
meeting. A decision on the matter
must await council's next regular
meeting July '4.
when he suggested the PUC was
no longer obliged to pay ,any of
Mr. King's salary, because the
decision to re-hire Mr. King had
been made by council alone.
When Mr, King resigned "we
had to have help — Mr. Keffer
said. He said the PUC decided to
hire Mrs. Sauve at $5 per hour
and let her do all of the PUC office
work. He said the PUC had no say
in the re :hiring of Mr. King, at
his salary . of $12,500, and
therefore was under no obligation
to pay 60.. percent of his salary.
Codncillor George Jutzi said
council should seek legal advice
on the matter. He said the by-law
.from 1966 outlining the 60/40
wage split had never ' been
rescinded or amended, and
therefore'the PUC could not claim
they no longer have responsibility •
for 60 percent of the Clerk's
salary.
