3. BUSINESS ARISING FROM MINUTES -
a) It had been suggested that the Historical Society
be asked to transfer the money they wished to
spend on restorations to the Museum Board. However,
since there will in future be no carry over of any
budget surplus from one year to another, it was
decided not to ask for the transfer of these funds
until early in 1971.
b) Store-
Mr. Miller had asked Mr. Hope if he would be
available to work on this building next year.
Mr. Hope will be ready to start as soon as possible
and would like to be informed if he is needed as
he would like to make an early start.
c) Publicity-
Mrs. Earle stressed the fact that the Museum has
no pamphlets to hand out. Mrs. Storry is still
working on the history of the buildings so this
material is not yet ready for any pamphlets. This
matter to be discussed at the January meeting.
4. BUDGET-
On motion of Mr. Parkin, seconded by Mr. Miller it was
decided that the budget as proposed by Mr. Marshall be
presented to Council.

It was felt that extra help is now necessary with more
buildings and increasing use of the Museum by school
groups etc., and the increased charge will pay for
this. If the Curator is unable to be present, then
someone else must be on hand to supervise tours.
Mrs. Hay is ill at present, so Mrs. Earle is to in-
struct Mrs. Gillman to request Mrs. Campbell to take
over supervision duties as school classes are visiting
the Museum this month.

A pamphlet is to be prepared for distributuion to
groups requesting tours, explaining that there will
be extra charges for any further extra services.
On motion the meeting adjourned.
