:l) ì1r. [·Liller reported that Hr. Clifford Postill ~Ilas i¡lOrking
on plastez-ing the Cole House and had finished the Collins
House. He e,stimated that: the total cos'c for 'the C'f¡IO jobs
would be in the neighbourhood of $350. - $400~ maximum.
It \'las remarked that vlOrk carried on in these -['110 homes
made a remarkable difference in them and that ,the restoration
of the buildings required only the installation of the windows
and the papering of ,the walls to complete the building..
b) Hr. Parkin drew the attention of the Board to the fact that
the original to'Nn cloc1ç from the Towß of w~itby could be
purchased for t,he SU1'TI of $200.. Evidently it was a four
faced clock standing some 15 fee'c high aJ.îd ~veighing some'thing
in ,the vicinity of 2 tons. During the discussion that follmved
it was noted that while the acquisition of SUCfl a~ object
might be desirable its ul,timate location should be finalized
prio~ to any commitment being made.. In view of the general
financial situation a no'te of caution was voiced..

the basis that it has done in the past. The members have
achieved the monumental task of locating buildings of
his'corical significance Œ1 -the property and in some instances
completed a good deal of the restoration necessary to make
the proj ect of inte~=est to ,the public in general 0 Obviously
t.he :êuture success of th'2 HU3eu.'11 Ìivould be àirectly proportion-

sugges-ted tha't the Secretary contact both the County Board
of Education and the Depar~~ent of Education for the
Province of Ontario dravlÍng their a'ttention >co 'the educational
value of the NUSeCLi.11 and asking whether or not ,t.here could be
