The Cullen proposai will put ta an end, if ac- repted, concerns about the futufe of tbe home. It bas also cleared up the question of owner- ship. It appears as though the bouse was gifted ta the istorical society not ta the Town of Whit- by as many originally thought.

Cullen bas also prornised access from the rear door of the museuni to the gardens themselves and ta erect a donation box in a prominent location t raise money for the society Futhermore, "In- cluding any donations f romn this box, Cullen Gardens will guarantee the society 10 times their 1984 entrance in- corne."

Currently, the museumn played hast to only about 400 ta 500 visitors a year, Brunelle said adding that the move ta Cuile.n Gardens wîll more than justify the huge arnounts Of rnoney needed ta restore the horne to the stan- dards required by the rnuseums branch of the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Culture. 'l arn preparedlo recommend ta the general rnerbership f thre historical sciety tbat il be rnoved ta Cullen Gardens on the basis of the best, long terrn interests of the bouse, " he said. Moving the bouse ta Cullen Gardens would give tbe rnuseum a figbting cbance ta be self-sustaining because the number of visitors would jump subst.an- tially. k e
