Dr. F. L, McVey, Pres,,
University of Kentucky,
Lexington, Kentucky.

Dear Dr. MoVey:-

We are in receipt of your letter of April 25th advising
that wooden building near the Engineering Buildings
has been removed and we are this day applying to the
Bureau for a re-rating on those buildings affected by
this charge.

As per your request, we are pleased to submit the cost
of straight insurance on the buildings which you desig-
nated:

lyr.

In view of the above figures, you can, carry $885,000.
with the 90o Co-insurance which will cost you only
$a9.16 more than if you carry P280,000.00 insurance on
the straight insurance plan. The reason for this is
that the credit for co-insurance on fire proof buildings
is so great that you can afford to carry much more in-
surance on the 90$'oCO-nsurance plan.

Trusting the above is the desired information and await-
ing your advice in regard to final decision, we beg to
remain
Yours truly,
Klair & Scott
Per Bessie M. Birch
Sec.

In view of the figures shown in above report the Executive
Committee ordered that the Insurance Committee oproceed to have
the insurance written on co-insurance Dlan. The cost of the
insurance will be approximately t l4 g 22l1 for one year on col-
lege property and $3,500.00 for one year on Experiment Station
property; two and one-half premiums on three year plan and four
premiums on five year plan, There will be a credit on unex-
pired policies on college property of $3,732.59. It was recom-
mended that the policies be written for one year but as the
matter will not be closed until after July 1st the final de-
termination of the period of insurance was left open.

6. Group Life Insurance. The faculty committee on group
life insurance made request that the Executive Committee consid-
er the advisability of compulsory insurance, a large majority of
the staff consenting thereto. The Executive Committee was of
the opinion that enforced life insurance was not advisable and
took no action on the request.

7. Switchboard Asselbly President McVey reported that it
seems advantageous to assembl the five telephone switchboards
now on the Campus so that one board may control all telephones;
that as a matter of economy many telephones have been discontinued
and that one switchboard will decrease the cost of operation.
The Lexington Telep]hone Company has estimated the cost of the
change at ,$625.00. It was ordered that the change be made.

8. Report on Appropriations Bill. Mr. Pelham Johnston,
who was authorized at the meeting of the Board of Trustees of
April 18, 1932 to report his conclusions on the financial posi-
tion of the University under the appropriations bill as passed
by the recent Legislature and signed by the Governor, presented
a report which was carefully considered and discussed It was
resolved that members of the Executive Committee and Mr. Johnston
hold a conference at Frankfort with the proper state officials
to further study the problem and to determine proper procedures

99 No Authority to Endorse Athletic Council Note. The re-
quest of the Athletic Council that the University endorse a pro-
posed loan for operating expenses was not approved, it appearing
that the University has no authority to make such endorsement.

10 Resignation of Secretary of Board., Mr. Wellington Pat-
rick requested that he be relieved of the duties of Secretary
of the Board of Trustees and Executive Committee, suggesting that
he wished to devote his entire time to the work as Director of
University Extension. The Executive Committee accepted the resig-
nation, expressing appreciation of Mr. Patrick's long and faith-
ful service and regret at his resignation.
