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. \ ....·2·..·.. i. 'I..

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. ì_ -{~- XI " G~:!n2t:"a 1 - It '.1::.1.3 .suggest.Gel that Dr. HcKay contact I"lr ø John Rempell \,/110 is~n a-xchOl:-ií:y on older buildings 'with particular '2inphas is on ~;ll1a-t -::ype of painting should be carried out on t.h92xt!=;rio~ oc tha various buildings.

XII~ M2mo:rshios- Hr. l'!cLean had previously suggested the possibility of selling memberships to the Muselli~ and thus p:roviding an additional source of revenue. rne suggested membership fee would be $3.00 per family.
