          WITTESSETH:

               That wherea.'.s the Railway desires that certain
     tests be conducted by the University with the assistance
     of the Railway, said tests being for the purpose of de-
     termining the results which may be attained by the use of
     certain kinds and seams of coal of various preparation
     when fired under various kinds of boilers by the use of
     automatic stokers of certain maces and designs, and that
     a complete record off such tests be made available for the
     use of the Railway, and

               Whereas, the University is willing to conduct
     such tests, prepare such reports and furnish to the Rail-
     way the detail data required by the Railway in connection
     with such tests, in accordance with the terms and condi-
     tions hereinafter set forth:

               It is hereby agreed that the University will
     furnish the use of its facilities, such as laboratory
     space, mechanical awotaratus, recording equipment, cherni-
     cal apparatus, othe-r necessary testing apparatus, boilers,
     steam and electric power, stokers to be tested, supervision,

        small industrial boilers of fifty to seventy-five
        horsepower capacity.

     4. Three boilers will be required for these tests,
        i.e., one round type and one rectangular type
        cast iron sectional heating boiler of a capacity
        generally used in medium sized residences and
        one larger enclosed firebox steel boiler of fifty
        to seventy-five horse-power capacity.

       such sizes as may be decided on jointly by
       representatives of the University and the
       Railway.

    7. Tests shall be conducted at several different
       firing rates, such as minimurn or banking rate,
       normal rt te, including reliability test and
       rnaximuim possible rate.

    8. Each size of coal shall be tested in each
       stoker at each firing rate except when it is
       decided that similarity of coals makes this
       unnecessary,

    9. The tests shall demonstrate the effect of
       coal composition, size, fusing temperature
       of ash, firing rate and drift on stoker and
       boiler efficiency, smoke density, ash produced,
       deposit of soot .and cinders, with each type of
       stoker, and Tpower consurmption of stoker. The

     8. Increase in Business Agent's Salary.   It was directed
that the salary of the Business Agent for the month of July should
be increased $37.50 to cover the premimn on the bond which he is
required to give.

     9. Payment to Central Kentucky Warehouse Corporation.   A mo-
tion was made, seconded, and carried that the Business Agent be
directed to make the firet payment on the building which was pur-
chased from the Central Kentucky Warehouse Corporation.

    10. Workman's Comp-ensation Insurance.  A communication was
read from the American Mutual Liability Insurance Company of Bos-
ton regarding the worlkman's compensation insurance.  A motion,
duly seconded, was made and carried that the matter be referred to
Mr. Gordon and President cVery with power to act.

    11. Widening of Limestone Street.   The reouest of the City
of Lexington for a. strip of land fronting on University propert-
for the purpose of widening Li.mestone Street was discussed.  A
motion was made, seconded, and carried, directing the chairman !
the Executive Committee to send the following letter to the mayc,.
of the City of Lexington:


                                     June 16, 1931


     Hon. James J. O'Brien, Mayor,
     Lexington, Kentucky.

     My Dear Mayor:

          Your letter of recent date addressed to me relative
     to the widening of Limestone Street has been received.
     I have taken the question of widening this street up with
     the Board of Trustees of the University of Kentucky, and
     the Board expressed so-me doubt as to the power of the Uni-
     versity to donate to the City of Lexington any portion of
     the property of the University.   The matter was discussed
     by the Board fully but no action was taken.

          Assuming, of course, that it can be legally done, I
     will be glad to reco-.mmend to the University that it donate
     to the City of Lexington a. strip of land on South Limestone
     Street twenty feet wide, beginning at the north boundary
     of the property of the University upon which Patterson Hal'
     is located and extending the same width to Euclid Avenue
     and across Euclid in front of the campus of the college
     proper to the south line of the campus proper, which is
     just south of or in front of the Memorial Building.




 






12.



     I will also recommend, if it can be legally done,
to the University, that it give to the city a strip of
ground twenty feet in width from the intersection of
Rose Street and South Limestone Street, and along Rose
Street in a northerly direction to Euclid Avenue, or
Winslow Street as it used to be called.

     The University does not own all of the property
between the south side of its main campus at the point
almost in front of or just south of the Memorial Build-
ing to the property of the Experiment Station, and so
it can matte no offer to dona-te any of that property.
However, if the city should secure a strip of land
twenty feet wide south of the main campus to the Experi-
ment Station property, I have no doubt the University
would, if it agrees with me in the reo~mmenda.tions which
I have said I would make, agree to give twenty feet in
front of the Experiment Station.

     The conditions, of course, upon which this gift
would be made are that the City would, without cost
to the University, improve Limestone Street for its
full width, the full length of the strip donated by the
University, and that it would so improve Rose Street
to its full width from its intersection with Limestone
Street to its intersection with Euclid Avenue, and that
the City of Lexington would build a stormwater sewer
six feet or more in diameter beginning at the University
property line on Rose Street and extend down the branch,
which runs through the campus, which is the natural
drainage, to a point West of Broadway.

     As I understand. it, all of th^ plans for the con-
struction of a. stormwater sewer to take care of the
ever-increasing flow of water coming down this drainage
from the Ashland Park Subdivision and from that general
neighborhood, calls, for a. six foot stormwater to begin
at the University's property and run to the west side
of Broadway, so that the construction of this portion
of the stormwa.ter sewer will be a. part of the general
sewerage which the city must build to take care of the
stormwater flowing in the southeastern portion of the
city.   The construction of this sewer too should prevent
further damage to the city's two greatest industries,
the University and the tobacco company's property. You
pill recall when we had the heavy rain a few years ago
much damage -as done to the tobacco companies and to the
University, the damange to the University's property
emounting to something over $35,000.00, and the damago
to the tobacco c-1pany amounting to several hundred
thousands of            o possibly half million dollars, and
so the constructioll of this portion of the sewer would
prevent further 5ivq,.ge to these t:.o grent industries.

          There is, as you kno-, a considerable congestion
     of traffic coming from the Nicholasville Pike into Lex-
     ington.  By the widening and improvement of Rose Street
     no doubt much of the traffic which now comes down Lime-
     stone Street into the city would use Rose Street, and
     the widening of Limestone Street for the length indicat-
     ed in this offer of the University would do much to re-
     lieve the congested traffic on Limestone Street, al-
     though I believe eventually Limestone Street should be
     widened from the Experiment Station property south to
     Rose Street, but even until this is done the widening
     and improving of Rose Street will be of great benefit8

          Of course, I do not know whether the University
     can legally do the things suggested in this letter,
     nor do I 1chor thether the authorities at the University
     will agree with .my rccommendation, but if this propo-
     sition is satisfactory to the city I will gladly take
     up the matter with the University P.nd I will advise
     you fully then.

                                  Yours very truly,


                                       (Richard C. Stoll)


     11. Increase in Budr'et for Buildings and Grounds.  A comnmuni-
cation was read from  Mr. 0rutcher, Superintendent of Buildings
and Grounds, asking for an increase in the budget for various
items.   These items were gone over in detail, and the reouest
was cut down so far as possible and referred to President McVey
for further consideration.

     12. Insurance Matters.   A communication from Ilair and Scr,;t
regarding certain changes to be made in University buildings in
order to reduce the rate of insurance on those buildirgs was re-
ferred to President McVey with instructions to make such changes
as are considered practicable.

     13. Radio Station.   A proposal to use the sace in the Admin-
istration Building, fori:ierly k-no-n as the Rea.ding Room of the Li-
brary, for the purpose of a radio broadcasting station with offices
and studios was tresented to the Co-inittee.  The matter was dis-
cussed and the action was deferred pending an estimate of the cost
of construction.




 










     14. Insurance on Li'aX Building.    It was ordered that
the Library Buildinng be insured on a valuation basis of $400,O00
on the co-insurance plan with $55,000 additional insurance on
books and $30,000 on equipment.   The president of the Universi--
was authorized to arrange for such insurance for a period of o!
year.

     15. Borrowing of Bookts from the Supreme Court Library.  At
a recent meeting of the Board the matter was discussed as to
whether or not certain books and publications belonging to the
Supreme Court but now stored in the attic of the Capitol building
could be borrowed for the use of the University Library.   The
following communication was read and ordered incorporated in the
minutes:


                  COURT OF APPEALS OF K7-MTTUCKY

                                    June 1 1931

     Judge Richard Stoll
     Lexington, Kentucky

     My dear Judge:

     I am in receipt of yours of the 99th St., with reference
     to the transferring of some historical documents in poe-
     session of the library, but now stored in the attic of
     the capital building to the University of Kentucly, at Lex-
     ington, and I have consulted with the members of the court
     with reference thereto.   Tach member agreed that your
     proposition was not only reasonable but in all probabil-
     ity the proper thing to do with the understanding, of cour.se,
     that there should be a return made to the state library in
     Frankfort of the documents when demanded by the proper au-
     thorities.   But we are unable to find any law authorizinU
     this court to convent to any such arrangement, or to ex-
     ecute such a move on its own initiative.   I have no
     doubt but that the legislature at its forthcoming session
     would readily pass the necessary act or resolution to en-
     able your suggestion to be carried out, and each me-mber
     of the court consulted expressed a willingness to render
     his aid in that direction.   Under the present condition
     of the lawv it is the conclusion of the members of the
     court that they are wvithout authorit% to grant your re-
     quest, howsoever meritorious it might be, and howsoever
     willingly it might be granted if authority existed.   I
     also beg to assure you that I, and I believe all the mem-
     bers of the Court, fulill join in any effort to get the leg-
     islature to confer such authority.
