Dear Sir:
   The Smith Premier Typewriter machine which this department has
been using for some years is still a fairly good machine and as I
am accustomed to it I should like to arrange with you for the pur-
chase of it from the College. My successor will doubtless desire
to secure a new machine, orobably one of a different make, and I
am willing to give the College the cash difference which would
have to be paid in exchanging this for a. new machine. Upon this
arrangement the college would come out even and I could retain
as my own a machine to which I have grown accustomed. Please let
me have an answer as soon as possible.
                                    Yours cordially,
                                    R. N. Roark

MINUTES OF TFIF, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, May3lst,1905 Page 29 (contId)



     The committee on New Exoeriment Station Building beg leave
to make the following report:


     The building has been *ompleted and now occupied.  The Oom-
mittee is pleased to report that the building is, in every respect,
finished in first class condition and believe that the work has
been done economically and well.


     In the course of construction of the building it was necessary
to make some changes which accounts for extras.

                                                           Page 30
     Most of these changes were made after consulting members of
the Board of Trustees, For instance there is an item of $200.00
for carpentering. Nearly $1000-of this was for stone pillars
which were substituted for wooden ones. The extras on brick
work were caused by having pressed brick all around the building
instead in the front only.


     In excavation for the building, it was found necessary to g
one foot deeper on account of the old foundation of Graham house,


     The heating plant is all that could be wished for. During
zero weather it worked nerfectly on 2# of steam.


     Since December lst we have purchased only $152,66 of coal
some of which remains in the bin now.


     The building is practically fire-proof, all the electric
wires being in iron conduits to preVent any accident of cross
wires. All the walls are either brick are tile and the floors
have been deadened with two inches of ashes and cement.


     We request the members of Board of Trustees to make an in-
spection of the building and see for themselves the character
of the work and the buildin- as it stands.


     The Committee is now grading and putting walks and roads
around the building. It is hopes to have this work done soon,
which will add greatly, we believe to the attractiveness of the
Building.

     The detailed financial statement is herewith submitted
                                Respectfully submitted
                                    D. F. Frazee, Chairman
