At the Nov. 3 meeting of council,
a report from Jim Ryan was pre

posal suggests running a catch
basin from the back of Pennington's
property onto the street and digging
out the ditch, which is on village
property.
Councillor Joe Seili, who owns
neighbouring property said Ryan
felt that by doing this the water
would be able to flow, even if snow
piles up. "It's going to help water in
the spring, but whether it will stop
the water on the floor of his shop, I
don't know."
The plan should also regulate the
flow of water coming in from the
neighbouring Grey Twp. proper
ties, he said.
The cost of the estimated $2,500
project is to be split, with two-
thirds covered by the village and
Pennington and Seili splitting one
third.

problem solved, he asked Penning
ton if he was going to proceed with
the eavestrough work, to direct the
water away from the shop. "I'm
taking money out of my pocket and
without those eaves, you're still
doing to have water on your floor. I
don't want you coming back to this
council. If you won't put in writing
that that won't happen, I'm not vot
ing for this."
Pennington said that he wasn't
prepared to proceed with the instal
lation of eaves, but assured council
that if this work was done he would
be satisfied. "I'm not coming down
and bugging you. I'm asking for an
outlet, I asked for it two years ago.
I don't want to fight and argue,
either it's done or forget about it."
A motion to proceed with the
work, carried.

The success of Brussels Home-
coming is going to have a lasting
effect on the village.
With the 125th anniversary
bringing in a profit of $19,000,
Keith Mulvey attended the October
meeting of Brussels council to tell
of the committee's plan to develop
a park downtown.
At the Nov. 3 meeting Clerk-
Treasurer Donna White informed
council that the offer to purchase
the vacant lot on the east side of
Turn berry Street, had been accept
ed. A bylaw was being done to
complete the purchase and the dis
bursements of profit.
It is being purchased on behalf of
the village, so the village will actu
ally own the land. It is hoped that
they will be able to decorate it for
Christmas.
Some of the other monies raised
were distributed to local service
organizations.
THANK YOU

of Brussels
