The conservancy position bas been tbat Wittington will listen to an offer, and tbe land is not that valuable. Margaret Boyce, vice- persident of tbe conser- vancy, said it was 11gar- bage land" because of poor drainage. Conser- vancy members believe tbe society bas not made sufficient attempts to purcbase the property. executive bas main- tained that since Wit- tington donated Lynde House as Whitby's museuni in 1972 under provision it be moved within the year, the bouse must be moved. Members argue the bouse, at Cullen Gar- dens, would bave 25,000 visitors a year, com- pared to 3W0 at its present site. Following Anderson's moion to table an at- imild of the negotiating com- mittee to represent groups interested in bistoric preservation other than the society was easily defeated. Sybil Stirling, vice- president of the society and chairman at the meeting said the new executive to be elected at the Jan. 28 meeting would probably strike the negotiating commit- tee. Society divided over Lynde House By JAN DODGE Free Press Staff There was a mixed reaction to tbe Whitby Historical Society's decision to table the stay-or-move motion for Lynde House. Rod Angevaare, president of the local Architecturai Conser- vancy of Ontario, said, -It's good news ... Now the tbing wiil run its course." But Marcel Bruneile, council designate to the society, said tbe tabling motion is a deiaying tac- tic. "lIt is almnost as ef- fective as a decision not to move. -aWeve been toid by Len Cullen that he bas plans (for expansion of Cullen Gardens) and he completed by spring. Unless the decision is made soon, Lynde House *on't have a place to go." If the bouse is retained on its site Brunelle said, "I~ doubt whether the society bas the wherewithal to go it alone. Even if we got grants for 50 percent, haîf of $250,000 for land and $99,000 to upgrade Lynde House to museuni status would stili be expensive. a Neyer in the bistory of Whitby - and we have some groups who bave refined fundraising to an art - have we been able to raise that amount." As for waiting for a feasibiiity .study, Brunelle said the town has already in- vestigated cost.s and in- cluded theni in the ad- ministrator's report wbicb was part of the in- formation package society members received prior to tbe Nov. 26 meeting. Now, Brunelle said, council will already have set their budget 1before the society can make any request for funding. Brunelle sald he was concerned about tbe welfare of tbe house. "We already bave tbe information we need. I However, society member Deb Filip said, "II'm happy with tbe decision. It gives us a clear mandate. We know what's expected of us."i 'II would have to go along with the wishes of tbe members," said Sybil Stirling, vice- president of tbe society, wbo chaired the meeting in the absence of president, Pbilip Lakas.
