The Eber Millson House, R.R. #1 Enniskillen, owned by Mr. and
Mrs . Glen Millson was designated as a Heritage Property earlier
this year. The owners have identified work at a cost of $3, 943

and have filed an application for a grant of $1, 971. 50 to
assist in off-setting the costs associated with the project.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Grants are available to owners of designated properties under
the Ministry of Culture and Communications "Designated Property
Grant Program" . The Ministry has indicated that funds are
available and it is appropriate that this application, which
meets the program' s grant criteria, be processed at this time .
For Committee ' s information I advise that funding for the
program requires that the Municipality pay the Grant portion
(first having determined that the works have been properly
completed) and then make application to the Heritage Branch
for re-,imbursemen't. The Town can obtain full recovery plus
ten percent to cover the administrative cost.
The Millson application was received in April of 1988 , however,
because the designation has just recently been completed the
application for grant can only now be approved.
The Treasurer has indicated that funds pertaining to designated
property grants would be taken from the Miscellaneous Clearing
Account #1003-00015-0000 . Once the work has been completed
and inspected by L.A.C.A.C. , a subsequent report will be
forwarded to the Committee authorizing payment of the grant.
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation
to the Committee
