After years of negotiations, Brus
sels council voted at its Sept. 3
meeting, to purchase Cypress Street
from Canadian National Railways
but not before some second
thoughts.
Council agreed to purchase the
street, which has been used but was
not an official roadway, at a cost of
$3000. Clerk-treasurer Donna
White reminded council that the
correspondence between the village
and the railway had been going on
for some time and the the village
had turned down CN's last offer of
$3000 for one block of the street.
"We've always wanted to own
that road," Councillor Dave Hast
ings said, "we've been arguing
about this road for years."
But Reeve Gord Workman had
second thoughts saying " I don't
know if we're sticking our neck out.
They (CN) got it for nothing in the
first place."
However, Mrs. White told coun
cil that she had spoken with offi
cials of the Ministry of
Transportation and they had told
her that the purchase of the street
would be eligible for a 50 per cent
subsidy as would the costs of
repairing the street That seemed to
change the view of council with
Reeve Workman saying under
those circumstances he was in
favour of going ahead and buying
the street.
Meanwhile council will also sug
gest to CN that the work the village
does for cutting grass on CN-
owned land the village uses for
storm-water holding ponds should
be worth the $50 rental fee the rail
way wants to charge the village for
use of the land.
Councillor Hastings had said the
$50 rental asked was pretty cheap
when it allowed a $110,000 project
(to service the industrial park) go
ahead but Councillor Bruce Hahn
suggested council should let CN
know of the work it does cutting
weeds and grass and suggest the
railway consider the work in lieu of
rent on their property.

Problems with dogs continue to
dog Brussels village councillors
with some expressing exasperation
that they aren't getting enough
action from their dog catcher.
Clerk-treasurer Donna White said
that the fact the dog catcher is so
far away (Mount Forest) makes it
difficult to get a quick response.
Sometimes it's hard to get hold of
the dog catcher when there is a
problem, she said and the dogs
never seem to be on the loose when
the dog catcher is in town.
"Il's too bad you can't find some
body within 10-20 minutes of
town," she said.
Councillor Greg Wilson was
worried about the lack of effective
ness of the current set-up pointing
out the village is paying $100 a
month and no dogs are being
caught.
Ag. Soc.
looking
for talent
Last year, the Brussels Agricul
tural Society planned a talent con
test as one of the Opening Night
events of the Brussels Fall Fair. For
a first time venture, it proved to be
an exciting evening. While the
number of participants was small,
the amount of talent was notable.
This year the Ag. Society direc
tors have decided to go to a show
format as opposed to that of a con
test, but Barb Mutter,
Secretary/Treasurer, said there will
be prizes for all participants, so
come out and join in the fun.
Entry forms are in the back of the
Fall Fair prize book, available at
the Clerk's office and the post
office.
The pet show, another highlight
of the event last year, will begin at
7:30 oh Tuesday night as well.
"I want dogs, not bills," he said.
"I think we should let it go to the
end of the year and look at it (rehir
ing the firm) again."
Meanwhile a letter will be sent to
owners of dogs telling them, in
Clerk-treasurer Donna White's
words to "please keep them tied up,
cleaned-up and shut up."
