     6. Obligations to Walter K. Patterson Estate. The Business
Agent reported that he had consulted J. Pelhana Johnston, as direct-
ed by the Executive Committee, relative to indebtedness of Uni-
versity of Kentucky to the estate of Walter K. Patterson, deceased.
Letter from Mr. Johnston follows:

     Letter from J. Pelham Johnston to D. H. Peak, Business Agent,
         University of Kentucky, September 30, 1932.


     Dear Mr. Peak:

          Pursuant to your request for a statement as to the
     obligation if any, of the University of Kentucky to the
     Estate of Valter K. Patterson in connection with the
     Girls' Dormitory, I wish to submit thre following:

          By deed dated July let, 1925, and recorded in Deed
     Book 232, Page 84, the lot on which the Girls   Dormitory
     was erected was conveyed to the Security Trust Company
     for the recited consideration of $1.00 and other valuable
     considerations, cash paid.    However, by contract between
     Walter K. Patterson and Security Trust Company, dated
     March 16th, 1925, recorded in Deed Book 232, Page 356,
     it was recited that the foregoing deed had been executed
     and delivered but that the same did not state the true
     consideration of the conveyance and that the consideration
     of the conveyance was not stated therein, and it was ac-
     cordingly agreed as the.consideration for said conveyance
     that the Security Trust Company would pay to Walter K.
     Patterson $500.00 per year during his natural life and
     at the time of his death to pay to his executors and ad-
     ministrators the sum of $500,0OO.

          It was further provided in said contract that in
     the event Security Trust Company conveyed said property
     to the University of Kentucky a lien should be retained
     on the property to secure the payment of said obligation,
     and upon such lien being retained Security Trust Company
     should be released from all personal liability thereon.

          In the deed from Security Trust Company to University
     of Kentucky, dated June 30, 1926, recorded in Deed Book
     237, Page 548, a lien was retained to secure the payment
     of said $500.00 per year to 'Walter K. Patterson during
     his life and $5000.00 to his executors at the time of his
     death.   In my opinion on the abstract of title, which
     I submitted to you under date of June 30, 1926, the ex-
     istence of the foregoing lien is stated as an exception
     to the validity of the fee simple title conveyed to you
     by said deed.




 







lid



          Upon the payment to Walter K. Patterson's Ex-
     ecutor of the $500. 00, with interest from the date
     of the death of Walter K. Patterson, and the payment
     of the balance of the $500.00 per year, which was un-
     paid at the time of his deaths it will be the duty of
     said executor to make a release of the lien securing
     the payment of said obligations, on the margin of the
     record of the deed from Security Trust Company to Uni-
     versity of Kentucky.

          The lien retained in said deed from Security
     Trust Company to University of Kentucky, to secure the
     payment of the note for $70,910.85 mentioned therein,
     was properly released by endorsement on the margin of
     the record of the deed by Security Trust Company, as
     Trustee.



     The rent from July 1, 1931, to date of death of 'Valter K.
Patterson, July 14, 1932, amounting to $519o45!, due on contract
shown in the deed from Security Trust Company to the University
of Kentucky for Patterson Hall Annex, was ordered paidb   It was
suggested that the executor of the estate may be willing to car-
ry the principal indebtedness or to make a transfer of the debt
and lien to the Student Loan Fund Committee, so that the Universi-
ty of Kentucky may for the time being pay the interest thereon.
The Buhsiness Agent was directed to investigate this and to report
the next meeting of the Committee.s


     7. Funds in Princeton Bank. The following letter was received
from the First National Bank and Trust Company of Lexington, Ken-
tucky:

     Letter from J. M. Sellers, Cashier, First National Bank and
Trust Company, Lexington, Kentucky, to the Business Agent of the
University of Kentucky, October 21, 1932.

     Dear Mr. Peakc

          We are in receipt of request from the First
     National Bank, Princeton, Ky., asking that we deliver
     to them matured coupons from $475000 Fourth Issue
     U. S. Liberty Bonds that we are holding under receipt
     given by this institution, said bonds and a certain
     state warrant being held as collateral security for de-
     posit of the University of Kentucky carried with the
     First National Bank, Princeton,




 





12.



          The terms of this receipt do not give us authori-
    ty to deliver the matured coupons, however, if it is
    agreeable with you that the coupons be delivered to the
    First National Bank, you may advise and we will detach
    said coupons and make proper delivery.

          If you have no objection, we suggest that you give
    us general authority to deliver any matured coupons from
    time to time held under the receipt referred to as well
    as interest upon the State Warrant to the said hirst Na-
    tional Bank, Princeton, Ky.   In other words, we suggest
    that you give general authority for such delivery in or-
    der to avid the necessity of having you give special
    permission in each instance.


    It was the opinion of the members of the Executive Committee
that the First National Bank of Princeton is within its rights in
making the request set out in the letter copied above, and that it
is entitled to the interest and interest coupons so requested.
The Business Agent was directed to notify the First National Bank
and Trust Company of Lexington to that effect.

     8. Recommendation by Kentucky Actuarial Bureau.   The Ken-
tucky Actuarial Bureau of Louisville, Kentucky, on October 17,
1932, made the following recommendations:

     1. Arrange hood, as well as vents from both the cook
        stove and the hood (Boyd Hall, bsmt,)5 in a safe
        manner with either 18" clearance to all combustible
        material, or with 9" clearance to combustible ma-
        terial when the latter is protected by means of *"
        asbestos board (or asbestos and metal) supported so
        as to leave a 1" air space beneath it.

     2. Eliminate all unsafe lamp cord extensions throughout
        the dormitory rooms, and guard against the misuse
        of these extensions and drop cords; also limit the
        size of fuses on lighting circuits to 15 amperes.

     3. Prohibit the hanging of clothes and miscellaneous
     articles on the sprinkler piping and provide guards on
        all heads in closets that are not now so protected.

     4. If feasible the 2- gallon extinguishers on the dormi-
        tory floors should be replaced with 11 gallon size
        for more convenient handling by girls; two l1 gallon
        devices should be provided in place of each 2 gallon
        unit.   All extinguishers and fire hose units should
        be conspicuously labeled "For Fire Only" and directions
        for using posted.   The 2-1- gallon extinguishers in at-
        tics should be replaced by approved non-freeze type
        extinguishers,




 





13.



    It appears that these recommendations will be more or lews
difficult to carry out, and it was suggested that University of-
ficials endeavor to do so as far as possible and practicable.

Business Agent of sale of State Warrants was approved and order-

     11. Mapleton Corporation Claim. The Business Agent reported
the claim of the Mapleton Corporation of Chicago, relative to pur-
ported infringement of purported patent rights on cafeteria. tray
rail used in University Commons.   In a letter to the University
of Kentucky dated August 27, 1932, the Mapleton Corporation makes
the following statement:

          "Kindly accept this letter as notice that we are
     about to proceed against you for infringement of our pat-
     ent rights.   We shall prosecute these rights fully, but
     will be reasonable with those inclined to compromise with-
     out further delay."

     A tentative threat to place in "hands of local counsel on
orders to file suit" follows.

     The report and correspondencewere ordered filed in files kept
for Board of Trustees,   No other order was made.

     12. Vocational Education -  Settlement of Junes 1932  Sala-
ries.   The action of the Business Agent and Dean t. S. Taylor,
College of Education, as shown by the following report was ap-
proved#   Report of Business Agent follows:




 








15.



          At the meeting of July 13, 1932, I was directed to
     confer with Dean W. S. Taylor relative to payment of Julne
     salaries of members of the Vocational Education Department,
     it appearing that State Warrants issued to the University
     for state funds due that department were sold at 78-i per
     cent.

          In view of the fact that the June salaries were re-
     ported to the State Vocational Education Board early in
     June, and that the State Warrant issued in June was for
     total expenditures for the half of the year ending June
     305 1932, including June salaries, it war deemed best to
     issue the checks to the members of the department and
     let each refund the amount thereof to the University0
     Dean Taylor and the members of the staff decided to do
     this by endorsing the checks and turning them back to the
     University Treasurer.   The checks returnrare all that
     were issued for June salaries except that of Olive G.
     Bowden for $50O00.   The reason for the payment of this
     check is explained in the letter cf Dean W. S. Taylor sub-
     mitted herewith.

          The checks endorsed and returned are:  W. S. Taylor,
     @l5O00; Carsie Hammonds, p360.00; Ralph Woods, Nj338.35;
     Ethel Parker, ,@322.53; Ronella Spickard, 532000; Kath-
     erine Rogers, $179.18; A. N. May, $67.10; Marie Stephen-
     son, $109.18; Eddora Russell9 $49.l8; Mary Lois William-
     son, $8000; total, $1,975.52.

     2o. Robinson Sub-Experiment Station Collections Held Trust
Funds. A paragraph in the deed from the E. 0. Robinson Mountain
Fund to the University of Kentucky reads as follows;

     "The proceeds of the sale of said property or any part
     thereof and the net revenues derived from the operation
     of said property by the University shall be used to fur-
     ther the purposes of the trust hereinabove defined, and
     for such other purposes as will tend to the betterment
     of the people of the mountain regions of Kentucky as may
     be agreed upon by the parties hereto."

     It is the opinion of the Executive Committee that these col-
lections are trust funds and do not come within the meaning and
scope of the clause in the appropriation bills passed by last
State Legislature requiring transfer of funds to State Treasurer.
The terms under which trust funds are given and accepted will not
permit of such transfer.

     14. Handling Special Funds. The question of handling the
Tobacco Grading Funds and the Poultry Marketing Fund through
special accounts in departments was presented.   It was the sense
of the Committee that all funds be administered through the regu-
lar accounting office of the University.

     15. Regional Agricultural Credit Corporation.   The appoint-
ment of Dean Thomas P. Cooper as a member of the Committee in
charge of the Louisville Branch of the Regional Agricultural Cred-
it Corporation, of Columbus, Ohio, was approved.

     16. Purchase of Land Near Robinson Sub-Experiment Station.
Letter recommending purchase:

     Letter from Thomas Cooper, Dean and Director of the Experi-
     ment Station to President Frank L. McVey, October 14, 1932.

          We have an opportunity to purchase approximately
     eleven acres of land, lying on Rose Branch, just off
     Quicksand Creek, and connecting the Rose Branch and
     Falling Rock parcel of land with the Robinson Substa-
     tion farm.   This particular piece of property has been
     a source of diffim lty from time to time, both f rom the
     standpoint of traffic and of fire, which has at times
     threatened our farm property.    The eleven acres can be
     purchased for a total of $125.

          The deed of trust from -the Robinson Mountain Founda-
     tion provides that funds secured from the Substation are
     to be expended in connection therewith or in connection
     with specific work in the mIlountains.  'e secure an in-
     come from the farm of the Robinson Substation.

           I wish to recommend that we be authorized to pur-
     chase this property at the stated price of $125, the
     funds to be taken from the Robinson Substation farm in-
     come.   I attach a map showing the location of land.   In
     the event the Board approves the purchase, I shall desire
     to have the deed abstracted and approved by Judge Pollard
     before it is submitted to the Attorney General, and wish
     -to be authorized to employ Judge Pollard for that purpose.

     On motion duly seconded Dean Cooper was authorized to proceed
to make the purchase.

     17.  Tapping Sewer.  The request of C. M. Johnson to tap
sewer running between the Small Animal House ande.. Washington Avenue
was continued, further information being desired as to the size of
sewer, and the general effects on other property holders, grant-
ing such privilege may have.

     18. Bus Line's Request.   The request of the Bus Line to put
agencies on the campus for sale of tickets was passed for further
consideration.

     19. Centre College's Gift of Books.

     Presentation:   Letter from Charles J. Turck, President of
Centre College, to Frank L. MoVey, President of the University of
Kentucky,

          It has been a personal pleasure to me to send the
     government documents to the University of Kentucky as a
     gift from Centre College.   It is all right to make an-
     nouncement of the fact whenever you care to do so.

     The gift was accespted and on motion and second, this resolu-
tion 7ae adopted:

          Resolved, that the Executive Committee wishes to
     express to the Board of Trustees of Centre College its
     great appreciation for the valuable gift of government
     documents recently presented to the University of Ken-
     tucky Library by Centre College.   This gift supplements
     documents owmned by the University and 'prill make it possi-
     ble to provide a complete Congressional set for the Uni-
     versity of Kentucky Library.   The gift is a valuable one,
     not only as a material addition to the
