the visits. The cost .of the course is $35.00, which will include a
copy of the "Register of Designated Landmarks." The course will
cover styles of buildings, structural aspects of older buildings, perhaps
roofing, siding, windows and doors and also a discussion of mechanical
and electrical in older buildings. John Stack Stack ,said that Ralph had
many slides of houses that would be helpful with the presentation. It.

4. Visit to Fishers Island - Deborah went for the yearly Town Board
meeting on Fishers Island. Deb said it was very interesting. She
saw the old fort and other buildings in the area. There are-no land-
mark buildings on Fishers Island. Deb spoke with John Thatcher, who
will contact the owners of some of the older buildings on the island and
see if they are interested in registering them. Louis Evans is also

and what grants are available.

in favor.
