GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19. 1986— PAGE 7 Museurn operating budget increases 4,9 per cent Filter Queen "IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN VARNA" 482-7103 BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE It will cost $151,500 to keep the Huron County Pioneer Museum running this year, 4.9 per cent more than last year. The museum's '1986 budget was approv- ed at the February session of Huron Coun- ty council, but is still subject to a final review by the county's executive commit- tee. The council reserves the right for a se- cond look at all department budgets in case there hasto be cutting from expenses. The museum's largest expense is for salaries and employee benefits. A total of $93,600 has been earmarked for salaries, plus $17,800 for employee benefits. Administration costs, such as telephone and other Offiee expenses as well as maintenance, take the next largest chunk of the 1986 budget. Over $12,000 has been set aside in the budget for administration and $13,200 for maintenance. The largest contributor to this budget is the county of Huron. It will pay $97,500, up just over $5,000 from last year's levy of $92,875. The museum expects to make $16,000 from admissions this year, up from $15,000 budgeted for last year. The province of On- tario is expected to contribute another $30,000 and the museum's gift shop is budgeted to bring in $5,500. The rest of the money will be made up in donations and membership fees. Van Egmond Foundation wants closer ties with county museum The Van Egmond House Foundation is looking for closer ties .with the Huron County Pioneer Museum. As the museum gears up for its major capital project, the reconstruction of the museum building, the foundation has ap- proached Huron County council's museum committee with the idea of working together. The Van Egmond house, located in Egmondville south of Seaforth, receives about 900 visitors a year. It was noted that the mortgage on the house is paid off and the foundation is able to meet routine ex- penses such as heat, light and maintenance. The only restored residence in the coun- ty is looking for a close relationship with the museum and professional guidance and administrative assistance. • The county agreed "in principle" with the working relationship. The museum's project director, Claus Breede will con- tinue to meet with the foundation to work out how the two groups can set up the rela- tionship.
