The Van Egmond home was
purchased from Mrs. Florence
Smith last spring through bank
loans of about $14,000.
Acquisition Odle Van Egmond
home as an historical site has
been under consideration for
several years. For nearly two
years the Ontario Heritage Foun-
dation has• been interested In the
project and throughout had indi-
cated assistance would be avail-
able providing proper approach
WAS made and that there were
assurances the program would
be advanced.
In a letter to Mr. Doig,
Larry T. Ryan, executive direc-
tor of the Heritage Foundation
said in part:-
"It is my pleasure to inform
you that the following resolution
was passed by the Executive
Committee of the Foundation at
a meeting yesterday afternoon:
Resolved that the Foundation
contribute a total sum of$14,000.
towards the acquisition and pre-
servation of the Van Egmond
House, the house to be preserved
as a historic site open to the
public at reasonable times to be
later deternined. This contri-
bution to be made available as,
follows:
(a) One half of the total
contribution ($7,000.0) to be
turned over now to the Van Eg-
mond Foundation. This may be
applied to the acquisition of the
Van Egmond House.
(b) The other half of the
total contribution be made avail-
able on a matching grant basis
to be turned over when a similar
amount has been raised locally
(through contributions from the
general public, the County, the
Township, service clubs, etc.)
and when plans have been
approved by the Foundation, for
the restoration and future admin-
istration of this site.
It is the hope of the Ontario
Heritage Foundation that a con-
tribution made in this way will
get the project off to a good
start by giving the Van Egmond
Foundation practical encourage-
ment at the outset. We hope
that the holdicg over of one half
of the total contribution will have
the* effect of sustaining local
initiative and will encourage
energetic local fund raising."
This is an election year,
for municipal councils, school
boards and other local bodies
in most of Ontario. An early
step in these elections is the
documenting of voters' lists.
'fo assemble voters' lists we
need to make an enumeration.
This is done by the Province
for each municipality..
But our municipal enu-
meration involves more than
just voters',lists. It helps determine the division of
education property taxes between the public and
separate school systems. It lets the Province more
fairly distribute grants to local governments to
help reduce municipal tax bills. And it also helps
provide us with an accurate population count:
Collecting nearly
i
8 million names' and ad-
dresses, as you can imagine, is a big job: The
ProVince is employing 8,000
people to visit every residence
in Ontario. When the govern-
ment representative knocks
on your door, the procedure
is simple. The enumeration
notice is pre-printed by com-
puter with the names of every-
one currently on record in
your household. If you agree
that the information is correct
and complete, you simply sign
the notice. If there are changes, such as an addition
to the family, corrections are made on the spot,
verified and signed by you or any other adult in
your household. If you are not home the notice is
left, together with simple instructions. You mail
it; postage free, only if there are changes.
You will be counted sometime between
September 5th and 18th.
