Horticultural Society -
~ - ~
A report was received concerning a meeting with the
Horticultural Society at the Museum Grounds and the work
this group was prepared to do for the Board. Due to their
limiteà budget they b:ad agreed to establish 1:wo flower beè1.
in the front of the Chu~cb as their project jEor this year.
It ~ aøt.iOAed to t~ that the .loud ~ lik. to ña"..
t~e 'h~]Ii'b ~;,ð.n maintained witñ t'he use of t1,e existinq
herbs rather than re-astablished with other plants. The
members of the society were somewhat hesitant in discussing
the proposal for an overall plan for the MU:Hmm property,
but it was hoped that at a later date they nj~ht come up with
some recommendations. In the interim they were invited
to participate in History In Action by establishing a
display booth.

VII.
Restoration of Buildinas -
- i
Some discussion ensued concerning 'the approach -that should
be taken in .:::omple"ting the restoration of -the buildings
presently on the grounds. It ';'Tas mentioned that the
Historical Society might assist the Board in selecting
and obtaining the necessary furnishings for the various
buildings as well as offering suggestions as to the final
finish that should be put on the buildings such as wall
paper and painting. In the interval Mr.. Hiller is to
discuss with Mrs~ Fallis what should be dOnE! with the
Collins House which has recently been partially restored.
It: was emphasized that it "'las most irû.portant: that at least
two oE the buildings and preferably three should be at
least structurally restored for the History In Action
celebrations in September. It 'Has hoped tha,t the Collins
House and the Cole House together with -the Church would
be more or less completed by the end of the s~~er..
VIII" Curator -
As Mrs. Hay is presently confined to hospital some discussion
was hald concerning a replacement for her during her illness.
The major problem seemed to be one of security involving
the various buildings particularly during the months of
July and August. It was agreed that Mrs. GilLman continue
in her daughters absence and that she retain temporary
staff as required to assist her in supervising the build-
ings.
IX.
Refreshment Buildina -
~
The Kiwanis are presently negotiating with the owner of
the Brougham store to obtain the old drive s:hed which
they feel can be converted to a refreshment Jbuilding
behind the school. Mr. Cook is to report on the progress
of these negotiations at the next meeting.
x. Restoration Programme -
Hr. l1iller wondered whether the Board would be in agree-
ment to having the workmen construct the nec49ssary foot-
ings and to replace the sills of the hotel and harness
shop should th;ay be unable to work on the other buildings
during inclemG~1t ¡rr-'ather. The Board agreed that this was
a reasonable step to take but emphasized that the work
should go no further than tna actual letting down of the
builtìing onto the foo'tinga at this tju. It waa eDiph~lIiaaà
again that on a priority basi~ the two homes and the Church
should be completed prior to any significant amount of work
being done in other areas.

selling memberships to the Muselli~ and thus p:roviding an
additional source of revenue. rne suggested membership

matt8r be referred -1:0 a further meeting_
