        Appraisals have been received on 122 Graham Avenue in the amount of
$15, 000 and on 136 Graham Avenue in the amount of $18, 300.  Both of these
pieces of property have a relation to the proposed closing of Graham Avenue in
connection with the construction of the College of Law building.  Dean Matthews
recommended that authorization be given to Mr. Kavanaugh to negotiate with the
property owners relative to the purchase of these two pieces of property in terms
of the appraisals submitted and also to get permission or release of these owners
for the closing of Graham Avenue as an alternative.  Judge Sutherland so moved,
seconded by Dr. Murray. In the discussion that followed, it was pointed out
that further negotiations would need to be carried on with the city relative to the
closing of Graham Avenue as it concerns Virginia Avenue. Judge Sutherland
then amended his motion to include authorization for Dean Matthews to proceed
with negotiations with the city relative to the closing of Graham Avenue. Dr.
Murray concurring in the amendment, there being no objection, it was so ordered
by the chairman.

        An appraisal of 321 Clifton Avenue in the amount of $17, 500 has also
been received.  Dr. Albright recommended that authorization be given to proceed
with negotiations with the owner on the basis of this appraisal.  Dr. Murray so
moved, seconded by Judge Sutherland, and without objection, so ordered by the
chairman.
