T, Boss, THAT MARKET SITE BY-LAW. ro the Editor of Tae POST; In last week's b'oa'r a correspondent has given his views of the By -Law and the consequeuces but he does not put the natter as strong -as should be done, so as to allow. where we are likely to land should the By -Law by any means carry. I know that any- thing and everything is being said by a few towards that object, and some may foolishly listen and be led astray. If one were to believe everything he hears he would expect to wake up sone morning to hear that the pre- sent Hall had fallen down (itis so use- less and unfit) and that a Fire' hall was built that would cost us nothing. These are all fairy stories. To know that the Hall is all right you have only to look at the roof. If a building is settling from age the first place it will be seen is in the shapeof the roof and our roof is as straight as it ever was. The building was filled to the doors with men about a week ago and no one noticed arty settling or lacking in strength. This is only talk for an object, that is to carry tbe By -Law by misleading the electors. The Hell is stronger now than when first built as it was strengthened where faulty in construction a few years ago and since has no signs of a set- tling. Your correspondent has. only shown the cost that a Fire hall, &c„ would be to the ratepayers. I pro. pose to show them what they may ex- pect by the time the Town Hall is re- moved and it must be removed if the By -Law is carried before any Carnegie Library building eau be built on that site. That is what you are voting on and if carried nu Coun- cil can do anything else nor yet dare to do so. Now should an inspector of Mr. Carnegie's call as was stated he was going to do, or should it come to his knowledge what is being done after the report tbat was 'filled out and sent to him at his request before making us the grant, does any honest man aspect we will get such grant, Never. We bave bad an instance in a neighboring town where it was refused. If the old one is removed we must have a Town Hall, a fire hall and tower and we can't get the Car- se nor for such purpose , Car- negie taut P yeti can we build again on the present site unless we take another vote of the people as we have said it is not to be used for market site, Town uildru i f the B - astral b Y Hall g Law carries, To build a Town Hall, &c., will cost at least $to,000 and I think I ant putting it low, which will have to be spread over 20 years which will mean for interest $5,400 or in all $15,400.00 or 2 mills on the $ on your assessment for the next 20 years.. You will agree with me this is a very large sum to satisfy a few individuals who have a majority at the board and who not as if they cared for none but carrying out their costly notions. Now I do not wish to scare anyone but carry the By -Law and get the buildings proposed to build and the village will end In an expenditure of as I have shown, What I have stated will happen as sure as the sun 'shines. In the face of this I think no rate- payer should vote for the By -Law so foolishly submitted. Go out and vote against it. Care not for any site or person but Brussels and your own pocket. Brussels can't afford taking any such chance to get a Carnegie Library on the present 'Town Hall, site considering our present finances. If the plans of any 'other site are submitted and the great refused we lose nothing but we stand more chances to get it as we then have a. municipal building belonging to the town as is now known to' Mr. Carn- egie. Now as Jas. T. Rossseems to bo the spokesman of the very tew parties around the Town Hall corner who want the 'Library building there ' or not at all, as was shown by the meet- ing and vote. Monday night, in fact he seems to be the man behind the gun who got one of the Councillors to go. back on his motion that we pur- chase a site. He tells us also what the Council will do in the future which is more 'than some of thein would say, although Councillor Bel- lantyne has proiuised to abide by the result of the vote and no doubt he will. '' In his speech he has much fault to find that your correspondent did not sign itis name. It is evident froth his remarks he only wants to discuss the party behind his back and not his arguments. I have always understood the rule as to • anonymous correspondents to be that Should a x> party deal in personalities' without an authority be should give his name Mit when he only discusses a qua tion it matters not as it Is only his `a ga- inerts that are to be considered and that can be done as well without the . name ns with it, se his statements as to that matter are as wide of the mark ss many more that he stated. Deal with the arguments advanced, examine them and if seutid accept theist, if uot'retitte them, and never minddiscussing the man or men sup- porting or opposing the By -Law, but the argunents for or against the By - Law as published in 'Psis. Pose, that is what you are votiugon and lPot lite mon. Carry the By -Law anti you are sure of adding to the debt of the vi1. lags if we get a 'Town Hall of at i9 a for the t t And e yeast, , t ooc.no. toast I have given I will also sign myself A t Et,rcroa, TO THE RATEPAYERS OF THE VIL- LAGE OF BRUSSELS. In the last issue of Tan Pose there appears a letter signed "Humble Ratepayer' that seems to me to be somewhat mieleeding, that had it not letter statin starts his eft He g y g been for a few selfish people attheaSouth end of the village Carnegie there Libn be no ouldtibe be to wherr taiihie ter 10 y would be built. He refers in kin latter to Dir. Thomson and his Cold Storage plant. Now it Mr. Thomson had established kis business at the nodoubt e he would, of the village w North end g •a a there. But as have built m his Cold nest Mn The Si South . nd of tae had always n sin- been near the South end In the town he hathem Main - ed the pr have eel time, where he rke them at the present time, near the Market site. When you consider moving a public building which has been established for the past thirty two years to the opposite end of the town I would call that aelltshness. But as far as. Mr. Thomson was concerned the people had nothin to say as to where it L should be built. Now the writer goes on to sad, that it the By•Lew is carried the Oour elle intention is first to do away with the Town Hall, and by so doing 1t would coat the town. $2,500 for a new lire hall. Now I do .not know what the intention of the writer was, but it looks to me as if he did not know any better, or it was to mislead the ratepay- ars, and aood deal of that has been done in days gone iy, and only Mose who are here and paying taxes San tell what those rills. representing letters and public speechae hnve done for our village. I think when a ratepayer has the interest of the village at heart, as this Humble Ratepayer pretends to have, he should not be ashamedto sign his name. He goes on to tell you. what 11 will cost to build.. a fire hall and tower but it looks as if his intention were to put In at least $1600 of that iaoney to build the tower and the balance of the $2,500 to build the fire hall, What does he want u tower for unless itis to let some of his valuablehot air through, for I don't think you can find a tower 1n Ontario built to dry hose at the present t will cost time, ep goes on to tell you that 1 n e yob ratepayers the interest co that $2 ,500 51 ten yearn and that it would cost the ben - bur to vote on the By -Law to float deben- tures tutee to raise pa :erthe 1 looney.
